Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Continuing Enhanced National Surveillance for Prion Diseases in the United States," is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) continuation cooperative agreement focused on maintaining and strengthening national surveillance activities for prion diseases. Prion diseases are rare, fatal neurodegenerative disorders (such as Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and related conditions) where timely detection, consistent case investigation, and reliable national tracking are important for public health monitoring, trend analysis, and early recognition of unusual patterns that could signal emerging risks.
The announcement is listed under Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA CK12-120803CONT14 and falls within the health activity category. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally means the CDC expects to have substantial involvement in the work compared with a standard grant. In practice, that usually implies close coordination with CDC subject-matter experts, shared planning around surveillance methods, and alignment with national surveillance standards so that data coming in from multiple sites can be compared and aggregated in a meaningful way.
This opportunity is explicitly a continuation award and is not open competition. Eligibility is limited to organizations that were previously funded under the earlier opportunity RFA CK12-1208, meaning it is intended to extend or continue existing surveillance efforts already supported by CDC rather than start new programs or bring new applicants into the program. The "Eligible Applicants" field is listed as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," but the eligibility clarification makes clear that only prior grantees under the referenced RFA are intended recipients.
Key administrative details include a posted date and creation date of March 18, 2014, with an original and current closing date of May 1, 2014. The archive date is May 31, 2014, indicating when the announcement was set to be removed from active listings. The CFDA number associated with this program is 93.283, which corresponds to CDC Investigations and Technical Assistance. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so recipients are not required to contribute non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award.
The notice lists an expected number of awards as 50. The estimated total funding is shown as 0, which typically indicates that the total amount was not provided in the summary record, may have been determined through separate continuation budget actions, or was handled through administrative continuation procedures rather than being advertised as a new pool of funds. Because it is a continuation mechanism, funding levels are often tied to prior-year awards, approved continuation applications, and availability of appropriations rather than a newly competed funding allocation.
For applicants or awardees needing assistance accessing the full announcement, the contact point is the CDC Procurement and Grants Office (PGO). The announcement provides a phone number (770-488-2700) and an email address (pgotim@cdc.gov) for support related to the posting or access issues.
In plain terms, this opportunity is best understood as CDC keeping an existing prion disease surveillance network running and consistent across funded sites, using a cooperative agreement structure to ensure methods, reporting, and coordination remain aligned with national surveillance objectives. It is aimed at continuity, data quality, and sustained public health readiness rather than launching a new competitive grant program.
