Climate Change Environmental Impact on Human Health (U01) | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through its Procurement and Grants Office, released a discretionary funding opportunity called "Climate Change Environmental Impact on Human Health (U01)" under Funding Opportunity Number RFA EH 09 001. The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement (U01), which typically means CDC plans to have substantial involvement in the work after an award is made, such as collaborating on technical approaches, coordination, and oversight rather than simply providing funds with minimal interaction. The overall intent of the program is to support work that assesses how climate change and related environmental conditions are affecting human health at the regional level, emphasizing practical evaluation of environmental impacts and associated health outcomes.

For fiscal year 2009, CDC anticipated a total of about $3,000,000 in funding to support roughly 10 awards, suggesting an average award size around $300,000. The listed award ceiling is $300,000, and the opportunity notes there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which can make the program more accessible to applicants that may not have additional funds to contribute. The funding activity category is health, reflecting that the central focus is public health impact rather than purely environmental or climate science in isolation.

The timeline laid out in the announcement indicates it was posted on December 10, 2008 (with a creation date of December 16, 2008). A Letter of Intent was due January 8, 2009, and the application closing date was March 9, 2009, with an archive date of April 8, 2009. CDC estimated that awards would be made prior to August 31, 2009, which provides a general sense of when selected projects would be expected to begin.

Eligibility is broad and includes many common public health and research performers. Eligible applicants include state and local governments (state governments, county governments, and city or township governments), special district governments, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and other Native American tribal organizations. Higher education institutions are eligible as well, including public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education. The opportunity also allows participation from nonprofits (including 501(c)(3) nonprofits and certain nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status, other than institutions of higher education), small businesses, and for-profit organizations (including for-profits other than small businesses). This range suggests CDC was aiming to attract proposals from public agencies, academic research groups, community-oriented organizations, and private-sector entities capable of contributing data, analysis, tools, or on-the-ground implementation capacity.

Programmatically, the core purpose is to assess regional environmental impacts and identify or characterize climate change effects on human health. In practice, opportunities like this often support activities such as collecting and analyzing environmental and health data, developing or refining surveillance approaches, evaluating vulnerability and risk factors in specific regions, and translating findings into actionable public health insights. Because the FOA is structured as a cooperative agreement, applicants would generally be expected to align with CDC priorities, coordinate with CDC and potentially with other awardees, and contribute to shared learning about how climate-related exposures (for example, heat events, air quality changes, extreme weather impacts, and shifting patterns of vectors or allergens) intersect with population health outcomes.
