Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) continuation cooperative agreement focused on the development, operation, and evaluation of an Entertainment Education (E-E) Program Technical Assistance effort. In practical terms, it supports ongoing work that uses entertainment-based approaches (for example, story-driven media, serialized content, or other popular formats) to deliver public health messages, while also providing technical assistance to help implement and assess those approaches. The emphasis in the title on development, operation, and evaluation suggests the funded work is not limited to creating materials; it also includes running the program infrastructure and measuring whether the entertainment education approach is being delivered effectively and producing the intended outcomes.
Administratively, the opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA CD12 120105CONT15, with the title "Development, Operation and Evaluation of an Entertainment Education Program Technical Assistance Cooperative Agreement." The opportunity category is Continuation, and the funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the CDC in the funded activities compared with a standard grant. The activity category is Health, and the CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number referenced is 93.283, which is associated with CDC Investigations and Technical Assistance. The listing reports an expected number of awards as 50, and it states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement.
Eligibility is the most limiting feature of this announcement. It is explicitly not an open competition. The CDC states that this award is a continuation of funds intended only for grantees previously awarded under CDC RFA CD12 1201, which carries the same program title. The "Eligible Applicants" field is broadly labeled as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," but the clarification makes it clear that only existing, previously funded recipients under the specified earlier announcement are eligible to receive continuation funds. This kind of continuation notice is commonly used to extend support, renew budget periods, or maintain program momentum for an existing cohort of awardees rather than to solicit new applicants.
The timeline in the notice indicates it was posted and created on August 27, 2015, with an original and current closing date of August 31, 2015. It was archived on September 30, 2015. The very short application window is consistent with a continuation action aimed at current awardees who are already engaged in the program and are submitting continuation or supplemental documentation rather than proposing an entirely new project.
The financial fields in the summary show zeros for estimated total funding, award ceiling, and award floor. That generally means the public synopsis does not specify amounts in this particular record, which can happen in continuation postings where funding levels may be determined by prior-year awards, appropriations, or internal CDC allocations rather than a newly announced competitive pool with published ceilings and floors.
For questions or access issues related to the full announcement, the contact provided is the CDC Procurement and Grants Office (PGO), with a phone number (770-488-2700) and an email address (pgotim@cdc.gov). Overall, the key takeaway is that this is a CDC continuation cooperative agreement to keep an existing entertainment education technical assistance program operating and being evaluated, and it is restricted to organizations that already held awards under the earlier CDC RFA CD12 1201.
