Opportunity Summary:
Building Resilience Against Climate Effects in State, Territorial and Tribal Health Departments is a CDC discretionary funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA EH12-1202) designed to help public health agencies prepare for and respond to the human health impacts of climate change. The overall aim is to strengthen public health practice and infrastructure so health departments can better anticipate climate-related threats, reduce illness and injury, and protect populations that are most vulnerable to climate effects within U.S. domestic jurisdictions.
This program is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the CDC expects to have substantial involvement in the work rather than simply providing funds and stepping back. The core approach centers on the BRACE framework (Building Resilience Against Climate Effects), a public health planning model that links climate science with health surveillance and practical interventions. In plain terms, BRACE is intended to move agencies from understanding climate trends to taking concrete actions: using data and projections to forecast local climate-related conditions, translating those projections into expected health burdens, selecting and tailoring interventions that fit local needs, and then evaluating whether those interventions actually reduce risk or improve outcomes over time.
The opportunity is specifically focused on the public health consequences of climate change, emphasizing both short-term and long-term effects. It targets at-risk populations, which can include groups disproportionately affected by heat, extreme weather, air quality changes, vector-borne disease shifts, flooding, and other climate-sensitive hazards. The intent is not only to improve response to immediate events, but also to build the kind of public health capacity that can keep adapting as climate patterns continue to change.
Eligibility is limited to state, territorial, and tribal health agencies. The announcement notes that the competition is restricted to these governmental public health entities because they are considered essential to building a broader public health infrastructure that can bridge the gap between climate and health. In other words, the CDC is funding organizations positioned to integrate climate considerations into population health planning, surveillance, and prevention work at the jurisdictional level.
The CDC anticipated making 12 awards under this announcement. The award amounts were set with a floor of $200,000 and a ceiling of $250,000 per award, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The CFDA number associated with this funding is 93.070 (Environmental Public Health and Emergency Response), reflecting its placement within environmental public health and preparedness-related work.
Key dates in the announcement show it was posted on May 17, 2012, with an application closing date of June 18, 2012, and an archive date of July 18, 2012. The administering agency is the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. For submission or access issues, the listed contact for general submission inquiries was CDC PGO TIMS at 770-488-2700.
