Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Continuing Prospective Birth Cohort Study Involving Environmental Uranium Exposure in the Navajo Nation" (Funding Opportunity Number RFA TS 13 0010501SUPP15), was a discretionary funding announcement from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) under the Health Program for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (CFDA 93.161). It was designed as a cooperative agreement, meaning the CDC expected to have substantial involvement with the recipient in carrying out the work rather than simply issuing funds with minimal ongoing interaction.
The core purpose of the opportunity was to support investigator-initiated research that continues an existing prospective birth cohort study focused on uranium exposure among Navajo mothers and their infants. In practical terms, this means the work was meant to build on a cohort that was already being followed over time, tracking exposures and health-related information during pregnancy and early life. The larger public health aim was to expand and strengthen scientific understanding of how environmental uranium exposure may occur in this setting and how it may affect mothers and babies, using rigorous study design and continued data collection.
A key priority area highlighted for this supplement was conducting detailed environmental home assessments. These assessments were intended to better characterize potential sources and pathways of uranium exposure in and around participants homes. While the notice does not list specific sampling methods, the phrase "detailed environmental home assessments" generally implies structured, on-site evaluations that can include documenting housing conditions, water sources, proximity to potential contamination sources, and other environmental factors that might contribute to exposure. The emphasis on home assessments suggests the funder wanted stronger environmental characterization to complement any existing biological or survey data already being collected in the cohort.
Funding for the opportunity was set at a total of $360,000, with an award ceiling and floor both listed as $360,000, indicating the CDC anticipated making a single award at that amount. The announcement projected one expected award. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the grant.
Eligibility was limited primarily to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and foreign organizations were explicitly not eligible to apply. The listing also noted "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," but the only specific category provided in the source data is public/state-controlled higher education institutions, which implies the CDC expected an academic or similarly situated research entity to lead the work.
The opportunity was posted on December 31, 2014, with a closing date of February 5, 2015, and it was later archived on March 7, 2015. For administrative or access issues related to the full announcement, the CDC provided contact information for its Procurement and Grants Office, including the email address PGOTIM@CDC.GOV and the phone number 770-488-2700.
