Opportunity Summary:

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through its Procurement and Grants Office, released a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Data Coordinating Center for Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities Research and Epidemiologic Studies (U10)" under Funding Opportunity Number RFA DD 09 002. This award uses a cooperative agreement mechanism (U10), which typically means the CDC expects substantial involvement in the project beyond standard grant oversight. The activity category is health, and the work is tied directly to strengthening epidemiologic research infrastructure for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and related developmental disabilities.

The main goal of the opportunity is to fund a single Data Coordinating Center that will coordinate and manage data produced by the Centers for Autism and Developmental Disabilities Research and Epidemiology (CADDRE). In practical terms, the award is intended to support centralized data coordination functions such as organizing multi-site data flows, ensuring consistent data standards across participating research sites, maintaining high-quality datasets, and enabling the combined data to be used effectively for epidemiologic studies. The CADDRE data are specifically positioned to support research on ASD and other developmental disabilities, meaning the coordinating center would play a key role in making multi-site research data usable for analyses that look at patterns, risk factors, prevalence, and other public health questions.

Funding is structured as one expected award, with approximately $700,000 available in fiscal year 2009 for that single recipient. While the annual ceiling listed is $700,000 (with no stated award floor), the estimated total funding across the full project period is listed as $3,500,000, implying a multi-year effort if annual funding continues at roughly similar levels. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated, which reduces the need for applicants to bring non-federal funds to meet a matching threshold.

Key dates are straightforward: the opportunity was posted and created on December 31, 2008, with an application due date of February 19, 2009, by 5:00 pm Eastern Time. The archive date is March 21, 2009. The CDC anticipated making the funding decision and issuing support prior to June 1, 2009. The CFDA number associated with the announcement is 93.283 (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Investigations and Technical Assistance), which signals the broader federal program area under which this cooperative agreement sits.

Eligibility is described in a limited way in the provided text, with the eligible applicant category listed as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," and the eligibility information naming Michigan State University (MSU). That wording strongly suggests this may have been a limited-eligibility or otherwise restricted competition in which MSU was identified as the eligible entity, though the definitive rules would be in the full FOA.

Applicants were directed to the CDC funding opportunity listings page for complete program details. For access issues, the contact listed is PGO TIMS at 770-488-2700 or via email at pgotim (as written in the source text).
