Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled Economic Studies of Vaccines and Immunization Policies, Programs and Practices (Funding Opportunity Number RFA-IP-11-007) was a CDC discretionary funding announcement designed to support research focused on the economics of vaccines and immunization. Its core purpose was to fund economic studies that could directly inform the work of the CDCs National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases (NCIRD), particularly in how it develops and supports policy related to vaccines and vaccination programs. In practical terms, the intent was to build an evidence base around costs, benefits, and broader economic impacts of immunization strategies so that policy and program decisions could be grounded in rigorous economic analysis rather than clinical or epidemiologic outcomes alone.

This opportunity was offered through a cooperative agreement, which signals a more hands-on funding relationship than a standard grant. Under a cooperative agreement, CDC typically anticipates substantial involvement during the period of performance, such as collaborating on study focus, aligning analyses with agency priorities, coordinating on data needs, or helping ensure that findings are structured in a way that is usable for policy and program decisions. The funding activity category was Health, and the CFDA listing associated with the announcement was 93.185 (Immunization Research, Demonstration, Public Information and Education), reflecting the programs broader orientation toward improving immunization practice and policy through applied research and related activities.

The announcement anticipated making one award, indicating a single, concentrated investment rather than multiple smaller projects. The posting date and creation date were both January 10, 2011, with an application deadline of April 12, 2011. Submission requirements emphasized that applications had to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov and validated in eRA Commons by 5:00 PM Eastern Time on the due date. A key administrative point was that CDCs process did not provide an error-correction window after the deadline; applications needed to be error-free and fully validated by the cutoff time, or they would not be considered on time. The opportunity was later archived on May 12, 2011, which is consistent with a time-limited solicitation that is no longer accepting applications.

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 text. The notice also stated that there was no cost sharing or matching requirement, lowering barriers for applicants that might not be able to commit non-federal funds. The award ceiling and floor were both listed as zero in the summary data, which usually means the amount was either determined elsewhere in the full announcement or was not populated in the abstracted fields, rather than implying that no funding was available.

For applicants or others needing assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was the CDC Procurement and Grants Office (PGO), Technical Information and Management Section (TIMS), with a phone number of 770-488-2700. Overall, the opportunity was essentially a targeted CDC investment in vaccine and immunization economic research intended to strengthen and guide real-world policy development and program decision-making within NCIRD.
