Opportunity Summary:
The CDC funding opportunity titled "Development and Implementation of Programs to Enhance Epilepsy Public Awareness, Knowledge and Partnership" (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA DP11 1104) is a discretionary public health cooperative agreement focused on improving the health and overall quality of life of people living with epilepsy across the United States. The program is designed to support national-level activities that strengthen epilepsy health promotion efforts, improve the infrastructure needed to sustain epilepsy-related initiatives, expand and modernize communication channels, and deliver education and outreach aligned with the recommendations that emerged from the "Living Well with Epilepsy" conferences held in September 1997 and July 2003. In practical terms, the grant aims to move beyond isolated awareness campaigns by encouraging coordinated, evidence-informed work that increases public understanding of epilepsy, reduces stigma, and builds stronger partnerships among organizations and stakeholders working in epilepsy services, education, public health, and community support.
This opportunity uses a cooperative agreement funding instrument, which generally means CDC expects to have substantial involvement with awardees compared with a standard grant. That structure typically supports more active collaboration, technical assistance, and alignment with CDC priorities as projects are implemented. The funding activity category is Health, and the CFDA number listed is 93.283 (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Investigations and Technical Assistance). The announcement anticipated making approximately three awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $19,000,000. The listing shows no award ceiling or floor, which usually indicates applicants needed to rely on the full announcement details for budget expectations, allowable ranges, and project period specifics. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations, including both nonprofits with 501(c)(3) IRS status and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) IRS status, excluding institutions of higher education in both cases. The posting date and creation date were June 30, 2011, and the application deadline was August 4, 2011 at 5:00 pm Eastern Standard Time, with an archive date of September 3, 2011. Applicants needing help accessing the full announcement were directed to contact the CDC Procurement and Grants Office, Technical Information and Management Section (TIMS), via phone at 770-488-2700 for general submission inquiries.
Overall, the opportunity was positioned as a national investment in improving epilepsy outcomes through coordinated public awareness and education, stronger systems and infrastructure for epilepsy initiatives, better communication strategies to reach and engage diverse audiences, and partnership-building consistent with the established "Living Well with Epilepsy" recommendations.
