Opportunity Summary:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through its Procurement and Grants Office, announced a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Cooperative Agreements for State Based Public Health Laboratory Biomonitoring Programs" (Funding Opportunity Number: CDC RFA EH09-902). This program uses the cooperative agreement mechanism, which typically means awardees can expect a more collaborative relationship with CDC than under a standard grant, often including substantial involvement by the agency in technical assistance, coordination, and program alignment. The overall aim is public health focused: strengthening state and tribal public health laboratory systems so they can carry out biomonitoring and use those data to better understand and assess human exposure to environmental chemicals within their own jurisdictions.
The central purpose of the opportunity is capacity and capability building for biomonitoring in state-based (and eligible tribal) public health laboratories. In practical terms, biomonitoring refers to laboratory measurement of chemicals, their metabolites, or other related markers in human specimens (for example, blood or urine) to estimate or track exposure in populations. By expanding laboratory capability and capacity, the program is intended to help jurisdictions generate reliable exposure information that can inform public health surveillance, identify or confirm exposure concerns, support investigations, and strengthen evidence for policy or prevention efforts related to environmental health risks. The announcement emphasizes the jurisdictional aspect: building the ability of states and eligible tribal entities to assess exposures affecting their own residents, rather than relying solely on national studies.
Funding for the program was estimated at approximately $15,000,000 total, with an expected 6 to 8 awards (the source data lists expected awards as 8). Individual awards were anticipated to fall between an award floor of $1,500,000 and an award ceiling of $3,000,000, and there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The activity category is health, consistent with the focus on environmental public health surveillance and laboratory measurement infrastructure. The estimated funding date was August 31, 2009, indicating when CDC expected to make awards or begin the funded project period.
Eligibility was limited to governmental and certain tribal entities: state governments, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and Native American tribal organizations other than federally recognized tribal governments. This eligibility structure reinforces that the program is designed to build governmental public health laboratory capacity and support public-sector biomonitoring programs. The opportunity was posted on February 9, 2009, with a letter of intent deadline of March 9, 2009. The original closing date was April 6, 2009, later extended to a current closing date of April 24, 2009, and the archive date was May 6, 2009. These dates reflect a short application window typical of many federal public health funding announcements, with an early letter of intent requested to help CDC anticipate and plan for the volume and scope of applications.
Applicants needing access support or help locating the full announcement were directed to CDC's Technical Information Management Section (PGOTIMS) at 770-488-2700. The full program announcement and details were made available through CDC's funding opportunity listings on the CDC website.
