Opportunity Summary:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through its Procurement and Grants Office, issued a discretionary funding opportunity called "Determine the Impact of Strategies to Vaccinate all Children for Influenza in a Practice Setting (U01)" under Funding Opportunity Number RFA IP 09 007. This announcement supports applied, practice-based work focused on how health care practices can improve influenza vaccination delivery for children and adolescents. The underlying driver is the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommendation released in February 2008 calling for annual influenza vaccination for all children ages 6 months through 18 years, which substantially expanded the routine pediatric influenza vaccination target population and created a need for workable, scalable approaches inside real-world clinical settings.
The purpose of the opportunity is to identify and test innovative, feasible, and sustainable strategies that help clinical practices vaccinate all eligible children for influenza. In practical terms, the CDC is looking for projects that can be implemented in everyday practice environments (for example, pediatric or family medicine offices and similar outpatient settings) and that can demonstrate measurable impact on vaccination delivery. Emphasis is placed not just on creative ideas, but on approaches that can realistically be maintained over time and potentially replicated by other practices once the project ends. The cooperative agreement mechanism (U01) also signals that CDC expects substantial involvement during the project period, such as collaboration on study design, implementation, and evaluation activities rather than a fully hands-off grant.
Funding for this announcement was relatively limited but targeted. Approximately $520,000 was expected to be available in fiscal year 2009 to support one to two awards, with an award ceiling of $260,000 and no stated award floor. The total estimated funding listed for the opportunity was $1,560,000, which suggests planning for a multi-year total across the project period rather than only a single-year allocation. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, reducing the barrier for applicants that may not have non-federal funds to contribute.
Eligibility was described as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any type of applicant entity, subject to any clarifications that may have appeared in the full announcement text. The activity category was health, and the program was associated with CFDA 93.185 (Immunization Research, Demonstration, Public Information and Education, Training and Clinical Skills Improvement Projects), aligning it with CDC efforts to strengthen immunization practice and implementation through research and demonstration projects.
Key administrative dates framed a short application window. The opportunity was posted and created on February 10, 2009, with applications due by April 6, 2009 at 5:00 PM Eastern Time. The archive date was May 6, 2009. Applicants needing assistance accessing the full announcement were directed to contact CDC PGO TIMS by phone at 770-488-2700, with a general email contact also referenced in the listing.
Overall, this FOA was designed to generate practical evidence about which clinic-based strategies most effectively increase influenza vaccination coverage among children and teens in line with ACIP guidance, with CDC working closely with awardees to ensure the strategies and evaluation methods produce results that can inform broader implementation in pediatric and primary care practice settings.
