Opportunity Summary:
This CDC funding opportunity (RFA DD 10 004) is a discretionary grant offered as a cooperative agreement (U01) focused on young children born with spina bifida. The main goal is to strengthen and refine the practical methods needed to study these children over time and to gather solid baseline data on their early development, overall health, and how their condition changes or progresses as they grow. In other words, the CDC is looking to support projects that can prospectively track children in the early years, using consistent approaches that can later support larger or longer-term research and surveillance efforts. Because it is a cooperative agreement, applicants should expect CDC involvement beyond simple pass-through funding, typically including collaboration on study design details, measurement approaches, and/or data-related standards.
Funding for this announcement was projected at about $600,000 total in fiscal year 2010, with the intent to make two awards. That implies an average award size of roughly $300,000, which is also listed as the award ceiling. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement noted, which reduces the burden on applicants that might not have additional funds to contribute. The estimated project start or funding period was tied to August 2010.
The FOA sits within a health funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 93.283 (CDC Investigations and Technical Assistance). The timeline indicates the announcement was posted in December 2009, with a letter of intent deadline in late January 2010 and a final application deadline in late February 2010 (the record shows February 26, 2010 as the current closing date, with an original closing date of February 27, 2010). The opportunity was scheduled to be archived at the end of March 2010, meaning it was time-limited and tied to that particular funding cycle.
Eligibility was broad and included many types of organizations that could realistically conduct longitudinal or clinical-developmental research with pediatric populations. Eligible applicants included state, county, city/township, and special district governments; federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations; public and state-controlled universities; private institutions of higher education; nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education in the categories specified); for-profit organizations; and small businesses. This range suggests the CDC wanted to encourage applications from clinical centers, academic research groups, public health entities, and other organizations with the capacity to recruit families, collect standardized developmental and health data, and manage follow-up.
Applicants seeking full details were directed to Grants.gov, and the listed point of contact for access issues was CDCs PGOTIMS (Technical Information Management Section) at 770-488-2700. The essential takeaway is that this opportunity was designed to build better, more standardized prospective assessment tools and to establish early baseline information on children with spina bifida, laying groundwork for improved understanding of outcomes and needs in early childhood.
