Continuation of Immunization Information Systems (IIS) Sentinel Site Project | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Continuation of Immunization Information Systems (IIS) Sentinel Site Project is a continuation funding opportunity issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (HHS-CDC), specifically through the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases (NCIRD). It is framed as a continuation award rather than a new, open competition, meaning the intent is to extend or supplement previously funded work tied to the existing IIS Sentinel Site Project. The overall focus is public health, with the core purpose centered on sustaining and advancing Immunization Information Systems (IIS) sentinel site activities that support immunization program operations and CDC immunization objectives.

This opportunity is offered as a cooperative agreement, which is important because it typically involves substantial programmatic involvement from CDC compared with a standard grant. In practice, that structure usually means the recipient and CDC collaborate closely on technical direction, performance expectations, data-related activities, and deliverables. The funding activity category is health, and the program is associated with CFDA 93.268, which corresponds to immunization-related public health activities administered by CDC. The award ceiling is listed as 0, which commonly signals that the specific funding level is determined by continuation parameters, availability of funds, or the terms of the underlying award rather than a fixed maximum amount spelled out in the public synopsis.

Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with an instruction to consult an additional eligibility text field for clarification. In many CDC continuation announcements, this type of eligibility label indicates the action is limited to an existing awardee or a defined set of project partners already participating in the sentinel site initiative, rather than being open to all state, local, tribal, academic, or nonprofit applicants. In other words, while the public notice provides a reference point for the continuation action, the practical applicant pool is often constrained to entities already engaged in the project under a prior funding announcement or cooperative agreement.

From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA IP13-1302 0401SUPP16 and categorized as continuation. It was created and posted on June 6, 2016, with both the original and current closing date shown as July 15, 2016. The expected number of awards is not specified in the provided data, which is consistent with a continuation mechanism where the recipient(s) may already be known and the action is tied to extending previously approved work.

At a high level, the IIS Sentinel Site concept generally refers to a selected set of jurisdictions or systems that function as advanced demonstration and evaluation sites for IIS capabilities. These sentinel sites are typically used to test, refine, and validate approaches that can be scaled to other IIS programs, including improving data quality, completeness, and timeliness; strengthening interoperability and data exchange with clinical partners; and supporting more robust public health analysis of vaccination coverage and program performance. While the synopsis here does not list specific tasks or required outcomes, the continuation language implies maintaining momentum on the established sentinel site scope, preserving the infrastructure and partnerships already built, and continuing to generate actionable lessons and data that inform CDC and broader immunization program strategy.

In summary, this is a CDC NCIRD continuation cooperative agreement action under CFDA 93.268 to sustain the IIS Sentinel Site Project, posted in June 2016 and closing in mid-July 2016, with eligibility likely tied to existing project participants and funding levels determined under continuation terms rather than a publicly stated ceiling.
