Opportunity Summary:
This discretionary CDC funding opportunity (RFA IP 13 001), titled "Building healthcare practitioner capacity around HPV Vaccine Communication," supported applied research and intervention testing designed to strengthen how healthcare practitioners communicate about and recommend adolescent vaccines, with a particular emphasis on the HPV vaccine. The core aim was to build on existing research about vaccine communication for adolescents and then identify and test practical, provider-focused interventions that can be shown to measurably improve the quality, clarity, and consistency of provider recommendations. In other words, the program was looking for approaches that move beyond describing communication problems and instead demonstrate, with evidence, what actually helps clinicians deliver stronger recommendations and improve vaccination-related conversations in real clinical settings.
The mechanism for this program was a cooperative agreement, meaning awardees would typically be expected to work in active partnership with CDC during the project period rather than operating with minimal federal involvement. The funding activity category was Health, and the opportunity anticipated making 2 awards. Total estimated funding across awards was about $1.8 million, with individual awards expected to fall between $250,000 (floor) and $300,000 (ceiling). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, reducing barriers for eligible organizations that might not have additional funds to contribute.
Eligibility was broad within the United States and included state and local governments and a wide range of public and nonprofit private entities. Eligible applicants included institutions of higher education (both public/state-controlled and private), with encouragement for applications from Hispanic-serving institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities, and Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian-serving institutions. Other eligible entities included nonprofits that are not universities, for-profit organizations (including small businesses), special district governments, federally recognized and non-federally recognized tribal governments and organizations, U.S. territories or possessions, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, faith-based or community-based organizations, and regional organizations. The announcement also allowed for "bona fide agents" to apply on behalf of a state or local government, but only with a required legal, binding agreement documenting that status submitted with the application. Foreign organizations were explicitly not eligible, and the announcement also prohibited foreign components of U.S. organizations as well as collaborators or consultants from foreign institutions, keeping all project activity and partnerships domestic.
Timing details show the opportunity was posted and created on December 20, 2012, with an application closing date of February 25, 2013, and an archive date of March 27, 2013, indicating it is no longer active. The CFDA listing referenced 93.185 (Immunization Research, Demonstration, Public Information and Education; Training and Clinical Skills Improvement Projects), which aligns with the public health focus on improving immunization outcomes through research, education, and clinical practice improvements.
Overall, the opportunity focused on strengthening the provider side of HPV vaccine uptake by improving communication practices and recommendation behaviors. The practical intent was to generate and test interventions that can be adopted or scaled to help clinicians deliver more effective vaccine recommendations to adolescents and their families, thereby supporting higher vaccination coverage and better prevention of HPV-associated cancers and other HPV-related disease. For applicants needing access help, the CDC Procurement and Grants Office TIMS contact information was provided (770-488-2700; PGOTIM@cdc.gov).
