Opportunity Summary:
The CDC Grants for Public Health Research Dissertation (R36) funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PAR 07-231) is a discretionary grant program run by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to help doctoral students pay for dissertation research that directly supports public health. In practical terms, it is designed to cover the research-related costs a student needs to complete a dissertation that is part of an accredited research doctoral program, with an emphasis on work that fits within CDCs mission and its stated research interests. The focus is not general academic support or tuition, but the specific expenses tied to carrying out dissertation research, especially projects that address methodological and research questions relevant to public health practice and impact.
This opportunity is categorized as a grant under the health funding activity area and is associated with CFDA number 93.061, labeled Innovations in Applied Public Health Research. The maximum award amount listed is $35,000, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to bring additional non-federal funds to receive an award. Eligible applicants are institutions of higher education, including both public/state-controlled universities and private universities. Although the work is for a students dissertation, the eligible applicant entity is the institution, reflecting the standard structure for federal research grants where the university typically serves as the official applicant and administrative home for the award.
The program is specifically limited to students enrolled in accredited research doctoral programs in the United States, including Puerto Rico and other US territories or possessions. A key requirement is that dissertation applications must center on methodological and research topics that align with CDC priorities, rather than unrelated topics that do not connect to the agencys public health mission. In other words, the project should be framed in a way that clearly advances applied public health research, strengthens public health methods, or produces findings relevant to disease prevention, health promotion, or related CDC priority areas.
Important timing details are also provided in the announcement record. The FOA was posted on January 13, 2009, with a listed original closing date of August 10, 2009, and a later current closing date of September 8, 2009.
