Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "CDCs Collaboration with Academia to Strengthen Public Health Workforce Capacity" (Funding Opportunity Number: CDC RFA OE12 1201) is a CDC discretionary grant offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning awardees would be expected to work closely with CDC on planning and carrying out the funded activities rather than operating entirely independently. The overall purpose is to strengthen the future public health workforce by improving how students in public health, medicine, and baccalaureate-and-higher nursing programs are educated and prepared for real-world public health practice. The emphasis is on advancing educational preparation and creating practical opportunities that build core public health competencies through innovative approaches, with the end goal of producing graduates and early-career professionals who are better equipped to protect and improve population health.
Financially, the announcement projected a total of about $6.5 million in available funding and anticipated making around 10 awards. The CFDA number listed is 93.283 (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Investigations and Technical Assistance). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award. The FOA was posted on September 6, 2011, with an original (and final) application deadline of November 7, 2011, and it was later archived on December 7, 2011, reflecting that it was a time-limited competition.
Eligibility for this opportunity was intentionally narrow and focused on national organizations that represent the academic institutions responsible for educating major segments of the health and public health workforce. The FOA specifically identified four eligible applicant organizations: the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN), the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), the Association for Prevention Teaching and Research (APTR), and the Association of Schools of Public Health (ASPH). Beyond naming these organizations, the announcement explains the intent to fund national representative bodies connected to accredited schools and programs, so that the effort reaches broadly across the country and influences educational preparation at scale rather than within isolated institutions.
The FOA outlines the type of organizational capacity and national reach expected of applicants. Eligible organizations were expected to function as the national voice for their accredited academic member schools or programs; demonstrate existing collaboration with most or all relevant accredited institutions (including CEPH-accredited public health schools/programs, LCME-accredited medical schools, and CCNE-accredited baccalaureate or higher nursing programs); and maintain established liaison relationships with the appropriate accreditation bodies. The CDC also expected these organizations to have strong experience convening deans and faculty leaders, shaping or influencing curriculum standards, implementing community-based health improvement activities, and working across disciplines and across levels (national, regional, state, and community). In practical terms, the CDC was looking for applicants that could coordinate large-scale, multi-institutional efforts, translate public health practice needs into educational changes, and demonstrate the administrative and technical capacity to manage a complex cooperative agreement.
In summary, this FOA was designed to use CDC partnerships with major national academic associations to modernize and strengthen the training pipeline for public health professionals, physicians, and nurses. By supporting innovative educational and practice-based experiences, and by leveraging organizations that can influence curricula and reach accredited schools nationwide, the program aimed to produce students and emerging professionals with stronger, more practice-ready public health competencies. For access issues related to the full announcement, the CDC Procurement and Grants Office was listed as the point of contact (770-488-2700; pgotim@cdc.gov).
