Opportunity Summary:
This CDC funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA PS14-1414) is a discretionary cooperative agreement focused on improving how chronic hepatitis B (HBV) is found and managed among people living in the United States who were born in countries where HBV is common, defined here as countries with intermediate to high prevalence (at least 2 percent). The central aim is practical and service-oriented: build stronger local capacity in cities with large foreign-born populations from HBV-endemic settings so that more people with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) are correctly identified and then connected to high-quality, ongoing HBV-directed medical care. In other words, the program is designed to move communities from missed diagnoses and fragmented follow-up toward systematic screening, confirmation of chronic infection, and reliable linkage to long-term clinical management.
The opportunity is run by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention under CFDA 93.270 (Adult Viral Hepatitis Prevention and Control). It uses a cooperative agreement structure, which typically means the CDC expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply issuing funds, often through technical assistance, collaboration on strategies, and shared performance expectations. The work sits in the public health and health care intersection: it is not only about clinical care, but also about coordination among providers and stakeholders who influence whether foreign-born individuals at higher risk are offered HBV testing, receive appropriate interpretation of results, and are successfully navigated into continuing care.
Funding levels indicate a small, targeted set of awards meant to demonstrate or strengthen city-level collaborations. The CDC anticipated making 3 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $1.8 million. Individual awards were expected to range from $200,000 (floor) to $400,000 (ceiling). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers a common barrier for applicants and can make it easier for community organizations and local public health partners to participate.
The eligibility rules are broad and intentionally inclusive, reflecting the collaborative nature of the work. Eligible applicants include a wide range of government organizations (states and their bona fide agents, local governments, territorial governments, tribal governments, and public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities), as well as many types of non-government organizations. Non-government eligibility includes tribally designated organizations, nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), private colleges and universities, community-based and faith-based organizations, for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), and small businesses. This breadth signals that CDC was looking for applicants able to bring together health departments, clinical providers, and trusted community partners that can reach foreign-born populations and address practical barriers like language access, navigation of the health system, and consistent follow-up for chronic disease care.
Timing and submission details show this was a time-limited, archived opportunity originally posted April 18, 2014, with an application deadline of June 18, 2014 (11:59 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time) submitted through Grants.gov. A letter of intent deadline was listed as May 16, 2014; it was optional but encouraged to help CDC plan the review process. CDC also scheduled informational conference calls for potential applicants (notably May 7, 2014 and May 15, 2014) to explain the opportunity and answer questions, which is typical for competitive federal funding where applicants need clarity on expectations, required components, and how CDC defines success. The opportunity was archived July 18, 2014, meaning it is no longer open, but it provides a clear picture of CDC priorities at that time around HBV disparities in foreign-born communities.
At its core, the program is about building and strengthening collaborations in high-need cities so that foreign-born residents from HBV-endemic countries are not overlooked. The outcome CDC is driving toward is a measurable increase in identification of people living with chronic hepatitis B and a stronger, more reliable pathway into ongoing, high-quality HBV medical care. That linkage piece is important because CHB management is long-term: people need appropriate clinical evaluation, monitoring, and treatment when indicated, not just a one-time test result. The FOA emphasizes improving the capacity of health care providers and other stakeholders, implying a focus on systems change and coordination, such as aligning clinical workflows, strengthening referral and follow-up practices, and organizing community and provider partnerships that make HBV testing and long-term care more accessible and consistent.
For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement at the time, CDC directed them to the Procurement and Grants Office Technical Information Management Section (TIMS) via phone (770-488-2700). The listing also notes that a separate “Additional Information” link shown was not active and that applicants should access the full announcement through the “Full Announcement” section.
