Opportunity Summary:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), offered a discretionary funding opportunity to support research on how traumatic brain injury (TBI) affects children in the United States over both the short term and the long term. The overall goal is to expand what is known about the ways TBI can influence a childs development, including how injuries may alter or delay key developmental milestones. This work aligns with the Healthy People 2020 focus area of Injury and Violence Prevention, meaning the findings are intended to strengthen prevention and public health responses, not just clinical understanding.
This opportunity was issued as a Cooperative Agreement (Funding Opportunity Number RFA-CE-12-004). A cooperative agreement typically means the CDC expects to have substantial involvement with the funded projects compared to a standard grant, such as providing technical input, coordinating across projects, or helping ensure that study methods and outputs are useful for public health practice. The funding activity category was Health, and the program is connected to CFDA 93.136 (Injury Prevention and Control Research and State and Community Based Programs).
CDC anticipated making 2 awards under this announcement. The estimated total funding available was $1,000,000, with an award ceiling of $550,000 and no stated award floor. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds to be eligible or competitive.
The timeline was relatively tight. The opportunity was posted on February 28, 2012, with an original closing date of April 30, 2012. A letter of intent was due March 30, 2012. The application deadline was later extended to May 2, 2012 (with the current closing date shown as May 2, 2012). The archive date for the opportunity was May 30, 2012.
Eligibility was broad across U.S.-based organizations, reflecting the public health importance of pediatric TBI and the value of multiple research settings and perspectives. Eligible applicants included public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (other than institutions of higher education), for-profit organizations (including small businesses), and multiple levels of government (state, county, city/township, special districts, U.S. territories or possessions, and tribal governments whether federally recognized or not). Additional eligible entities included independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, faith-based and community-based organizations, regional organizations, and certain tribal organizations. The announcement also allowed applications from bona fide agents, which are agencies or organizations formally designated by a state to apply on its behalf, but those applicants had to provide a legal binding agreement documenting that status. At the same time, the CDC explicitly excluded non-U.S. entities: foreign organizations were not eligible, and foreign components of U.S. organizations were not allowed, reinforcing that the research focus and funding were intended to support work conducted within the United States.
In practical terms, the CDC was looking for research that helps clarify what happens to children after a TBI, especially how injury effects show up across different stages of development. The emphasis on developmental milestones signals interest in outcomes that matter to childrens day-to-day functioning and long-range life trajectory, such as learning, behavior, social development, and other age-linked developmental tasks. Because this sits within injury prevention and control, the expected value of the research is not only new scientific knowledge, but also information that can guide surveillance, prevention strategies, policy decisions, and community or school-based supports for children living with the consequences of TBI.
