Collaboration on Climate Sensitive Diseases and Health Effects | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled "Collaboration on Climate Sensitive Diseases and Health Effects" (Funding Opportunity Number RFA CK 14 003) is a CDC discretionary funding announcement that supports a cooperative agreement focused on understanding how weather and climate interact with human health and ecosystems. At its core, the program is meant to push forward multidisciplinary research that can untangle the real-world, often complicated links between climate-related factors (like temperature, rainfall patterns, and extreme weather) and health outcomes, especially diseases and other climate-sensitive health effects. A major emphasis is not only on producing useful research findings, but also on building capacity for the future by training the next generation of scientists who can work comfortably across public health, climate science, and ecosystem science. The bigger goal is to translate this combined knowledge into practical tools, methods, or applications that help prevent disease and protect public health in the face of climate variability and change.

This opportunity is offered by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention under CFDA number 93.084, which is associated with preventing disease, disability, and death by infectious diseases. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the CDC expects to have substantial involvement in the project compared with a standard grant. In practice, that often indicates a closer working relationship between the awardee and the agency, potentially including collaboration on project direction, coordination, technical input, or shared planning around deliverables that support public health decision-making.

Financially, the announcement lists an estimated total funding amount of $2,000,000 with a single expected award. Individual award amounts are framed with an award floor of $200,000 and an award ceiling of $400,000. The program does not require cost sharing or matching funds, which lowers the barrier for the eligible applicant to participate and allows the work to be driven primarily by the program budget rather than by required institutional contributions.

Eligibility is highly specific. Rather than being broadly open to universities, nonprofits, or state and local governments, the eligible organization for this opportunity is explicitly identified as the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research, National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). That narrow eligibility signals that the CDC was seeking a targeted collaboration with a particular national-level climate and atmospheric science organization, likely because of specialized capabilities, datasets, modeling expertise, or established infrastructure needed to carry out the kind of integrated climate-health research the program describes.

In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted and created on February 19, 2014. Applications were due on March 24, 2014 by 5:00 PM U.S. Eastern Time, and the archive date is April 23, 2014, indicating the announcement is historical rather than currently open. The listing also notes that the additional information link shown is not active and that applicants at the time were directed to access the "full announcement" through the listing interface. For technical difficulties accessing the full announcement, the contact point provided is the CDC Procurement and Grants Office, Technical Information Management Section (TIMS), reachable by phone at 770-488-2700.

Overall, this funding opportunity is best understood as a CDC-supported, climate-and-health research collaboration designed to produce actionable public health benefits. It centers on rigorous cross-disciplinary investigation of climate-sensitive diseases and health effects, strengthens workforce development in this intersectional field, and aims to generate novel, practical applications that public health agencies and partners can use to better anticipate, prevent, and respond to health risks influenced by weather and climate.
