Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), is a continuation cooperative agreement titled "Building Capacity of the Public Health System to Improve Population Health through National, Nonprofit Organizations" (Funding Opportunity Number: CDC RFA OT13 130203CONT15). It was posted on February 23, 2015, with an application closing date of April 3, 2015, and an archive date of May 3, 2015. The program falls under the health funding activity category and anticipated making about 50 awards. It is tied to CFDA numbers 93.424 and 93.524 and does not require cost sharing or matching funds.
The core purpose of the program is to support national, nonprofit organizations in strengthening both governmental and non-governmental parts of the public health system by providing capacity-building assistance. In practical terms, CDC is funding organizations that can help public health systems work better, operate more efficiently, and deliver stronger population health outcomes by improving how the system is managed, staffed, and supported. The focus is not on delivering a single direct service intervention, but on improving the overall capability and performance of the public health system by enhancing the structures and supports that allow agencies and partners to perform effectively.
The announcement emphasizes several major capacity-building areas. One is public health systems management and administration, which includes improving organizational processes, governance, performance management, and administrative practices that affect how well public health entities plan, coordinate, and execute their work. Another priority is the public health workforce, meaning efforts that strengthen workforce skills, training, competencies, and leadership development so staff across the system can better address population health needs. The opportunity also highlights public health data and information systems, reflecting the importance of stronger data collection, analysis, sharing, and decision-support systems that allow agencies and partners to identify problems, track trends, evaluate impact, and respond quickly.
In addition, the grant supports improvements in public health practice and services, which can include strengthening evidence-based approaches, quality improvement methods, and the ability to implement effective public health programs consistently across jurisdictions. It also stresses public health partnerships, signaling that collaboration across agencies, sectors, and community organizations is a key mechanism for improving outcomes and reducing fragmentation. Finally, the program includes public health resources as a focus area, which generally points to the tools, materials, technical assistance, and supports that enable public health organizations to sustain and scale effective practices.
Eligibility is limited and specific: this is continuation funding intended only for grantees that were previously awarded under the earlier related CDC funding announcement (CDC RFA OT13 1302). In other words, it is not an open competition for new applicants; it is designed to continue supporting an existing group of funded national nonprofit organizations already working under the original program framework. The listing of "Others (see text field...)" under eligible applicants is clarified by the eligibility statement that restricts awards to those prior grantees.
The award floor and ceiling are both listed as 0 in the source data, which typically indicates that the specific funding amounts were not provided in that field of the summarized posting or were handled through continuation award determinations rather than a fixed published range. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally means CDC expects to have substantial involvement in the work beyond standard grant oversight, such as collaboration on planning, technical direction, coordination, or evaluation activities consistent with federal cooperative agreement practices.
