Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled Developing Public Health Capacity and Adaptations to Reduce Human Health Effects of Climate Change (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA EH10-1006) is a CDC discretionary funding announcement structured as a cooperative agreement. Its purpose is to strengthen the ability of public health agencies to anticipate, prepare for, and respond to the health impacts of climate change. The focus is not on climate mitigation, but on public health adaptation, meaning practical program activities that directly reduce or prevent human health harms linked to climate-related conditions and events. Recipients are expected to align their work with and support the mission of CDCs Climate Change Program, helping translate climate signals and projections into real-world public health action.
The CDC designed this opportunity to build and expand core public health infrastructure for climate and health work, with an emphasis on the kinds of capacities that state and local health departments are uniquely positioned to lead. The announcement continues earlier pilot-project efforts that supported strategic planning and guidance for addressing long-term climate consequences, and it maintains a strong through-line of surveillance, assessment, and evaluation to measure public health impacts and track whether interventions are reducing illness and death. At the same time, it adds or heightens emphasis in several areas: workforce development (building staff skills and roles needed for climate and health programs), collaborative partnerships (working across agencies and sectors to connect climate information with health decision-making), and contributing to the broader evidence base and practical knowledge in the emerging field of climate change and human health.
Eligibility is competitive and intentionally limited. The FOA specifies that competition is restricted to state and local health departments, described as the primary institutions capable of establishing and developing the public health infrastructure necessary to meet the CDC climate and health goals. While the broader description references state health departments, U.S. Territories, and Native American Tribal Health agencies, the eligibility language underscores the central role of governmental public health entities in assessing risks, planning programs, implementing interventions, and evaluating outcomes at population scale. The CDC frames these agencies as essential for bridging the gap between climate and health, meaning they can connect environmental and climate data with health surveillance, emergency preparedness, community outreach, and policy or program decisions.
Funding is relatively modest but intended to seed or expand durable program capacity. The CDC anticipated approximately 10 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of 1,850,000. Individual awards were expected to fall between an award floor of 80,000 and an award ceiling of 120,000, and there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The program sits under CFDA 93.070, Environmental Public Health and Emergency Response, consistent with its emphasis on preparedness, surveillance, and public health practice rather than basic research.
In terms of timing and administration, the FOA was posted on February 18, 2010, with a letter of intent due March 22, 2010, and full applications due April 19, 2010. The opportunity closed on April 19, 2010 and was archived on May 19, 2010. Applicants needing help accessing the full announcement were directed to the CDC Procurement and Grants Office (TIMS) at 770-488-2700 or PGOTIM@cdc.gov. Overall, the opportunity aimed to help public health agencies move from general recognition of climate-related health threats to operational readiness: measuring climate-sensitive health outcomes, planning and testing interventions, developing a trained workforce, building partnerships, and documenting results that can guide future climate and health practice nationwide.
