Opportunity Summary:

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through its Procurement and Grants Office, released a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Effectiveness Evaluation of Community Mitigation Activities During a Pandemic" (Funding Opportunity Number CDC-RFA-CI09-906). The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, meaning the CDC would typically expect to have substantial involvement with the recipient during the project period rather than acting only as a pass-through funder. The funding falls under the health activity category and is associated with CFDA 93.283 (CDC Investigations and Technical Assistance).

For fiscal year 2009, the CDC expected to make one award using an estimated total of about $300,000. The anticipated funding range shows an award floor of $100,000 and an award ceiling of $300,000, indicating the single selected applicant could be funded anywhere within that band up to the full $300,000 available. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, so applicants would not be required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility or award.

The core purpose of the opportunity is evaluative and preparedness-focused. The program aims to develop metrics that can be used to assess how effective different components of community mitigation interventions are during a pandemic. In practical terms, "community mitigation" refers to non-pharmaceutical interventions and community-level actions designed to reduce transmission and impact when vaccines or medical countermeasures are limited or when additional layers of protection are needed. The funding is intended to support work that defines how to measure these interventions consistently and credibly, so decision-makers can compare strategies and understand which actions perform well under real-world conditions.

A second major objective is to identify sentinel communities where evaluations would take place. Sentinel communities are essentially selected locations that can serve as reliable, information-rich sites for monitoring and evaluation. By choosing sentinel sites, the program can focus data collection and analysis in places that are well-positioned to provide timely, high-quality evidence about implementation and outcomes, potentially allowing findings to be generalized or used to inform broader public health guidance and planning.

Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning the opportunity is open to any type of entity, subject to any clarifications that might appear in the full announcement. The posting date and creation date are both July 1, 2009. Applications were due by July 30, 2009, with a strict deadline of 5:00 PM Eastern Time, and the opportunity was later archived on August 29, 2009. For applicants who could not access the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was PGO TIMS at 770-488-2700, with an additional general email referenced in the notice.
