Opportunity Summary:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through its Procurement and Grants Office, released a discretionary funding opportunity called "Development, Implementation and Evaluation of Strategies to Increase Vaccination of Adolescents Affiliated with a Medical Home (U01)" under Funding Opportunity Number RFA IP 09 006. This award uses a cooperative agreement mechanism (U01), which generally means recipients carry out the work while CDC remains substantially involved in key aspects such as project direction, collaboration, and oversight. The overall goal of the announcement is to develop, put into practice, and evaluate practical strategies that increase vaccination among adolescents who already have a connection to a medical home, meaning a consistent source of primary care where preventive services like immunizations should be delivered routinely.
The program focus is specifically on identifying and testing approaches that can measurably improve adolescent immunization uptake in medical-home settings. Adolescent vaccination often lags behind childhood immunization because of fewer preventive visits, competing priorities during appointments, missed opportunities, and operational barriers in clinical workflows. By targeting adolescents affiliated with a medical home, the CDC is emphasizing strategies that leverage established patient-provider relationships and clinical systems, such as reminder and recall processes, standing orders, improved documentation and use of immunization information systems, provider prompts in electronic health records, parent and teen outreach, or clinic process changes that reduce missed vaccination opportunities. The expectation is not just to propose ideas, but to implement and evaluate them so the field can learn which interventions are most effective and scalable.
Funding for this opportunity was projected for fiscal year 2009, with an anticipated award date prior to September 10, 2009. The CDC estimated total funding at about $1,650,000 across the project, with an award ceiling of up to $550,000. The announcement anticipated making one to two awards, indicating a relatively small, competitive cohort of funded recipients and an emphasis on demonstration and evaluation that can yield actionable findings. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning it was open to a wide range of applicant organizations, subject to any clarifications contained in the full announcement. This type of eligibility commonly allows applications from entities such as universities, nonprofits, health systems, professional organizations, tribal organizations, state or local health departments, and potentially other public or private entities capable of conducting applied public health research or demonstration projects. The funding activity category is Health, and it is associated with CFDA number 93.185 (Immunization Research, Demonstration, Public Information and Education; Training and Clinical Skills Improvement Projects), which aligns with the immunization improvement and evaluation purpose of the grant.
Key dates included a posted and creation date of January 27, 2009, with an original and current closing date of March 26, 2009. Applications were due by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the closing date, which is a firm deadline typical of federal grant competitions. The archive date was April 25, 2009, reflecting when the opportunity would be moved out of active status after the submission window closed.
For full details, applicants were directed to the CDC funding opportunity announcement listing page on the CDC website. For technical trouble accessing the announcement electronically, the contact provided was PGO TIMS at 770-488-2700, with an email contact referenced but not fully shown in the source text. Overall, the opportunity can be understood as a CDC-supported, cooperative-agreement effort to generate and test evidence-based, clinic-connected strategies that increase adolescent immunization coverage by strengthening how medical homes identify, reach, vaccinate, and track adolescents who are due for recommended vaccines.
