Opportunity Summary:
The Emergency Countermeasure Dispensing Staffing Plan grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA TP11 1102) is a CDC discretionary funding program offered through a cooperative agreement to strengthen public health emergency preparedness by improving how communities staff large-scale medication or countermeasure dispensing operations. The main goal is to provide funding to a nationally recognized community volunteer and support organization so it can build a practical, ready-to-use staffing approach focused on volunteers: how to recruit them, train them, keep them engaged over time, and rapidly mobilize them when a public health emergency requires fast mass dispensing. The broader intent is to boost community resilience by adding a dependable volunteer-based capability that state and local public health agencies can rely on during a dispensing campaign, such as when medications, vaccines, or other emergency countermeasures must be distributed quickly to large populations.
A key expectation of the award is that the funded organization will not just create a plan for its own use, but develop an exportable model that others can adopt. That means producing transferable plans, templates, and toolkits that are designed to be disseminated to other community organizations for their consideration and implementation. In practice, this implies standardized materials and guidance that can be replicated across jurisdictions and adapted to different local conditions, helping communities build surge staffing capacity without having to start from scratch.
This opportunity anticipated making 2 awards with an estimated total program funding level of $500,000. Individual awards were expected to fall between $200,000 (award floor) and $300,000 (award ceiling). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The funding activity category is Health, and the program is associated with CFDA 93.069, Public Health Emergency Preparedness.
Eligibility was broad and included a wide range of organizations and governmental entities. Applicants could include nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in that nonprofit category), as well as universities, colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based and faith-based organizations. Tribal entities and tribal health organizations were also eligible, including federally or state recognized American Indian/Alaska Native tribal governments, tribally designated organizations, Alaska Native health corporations, urban Indian health organizations, tribal epidemiology centers, and related groups. State and local governments were eligible, including U.S. territories and freely associated states listed in the announcement. Political subdivisions of states could apply in consultation with states. The announcement also allowed applications from Bona Fide Agents of state or local governments, but required documentation: a letter from the relevant state or local government confirming the applicant's bona fide agent status, to be submitted as an attachment in Grants.gov.
Important dates included a posting date of April 4, 2011, with an application deadline of June 3, 2011 at 5:00 pm Eastern Standard Time, and an archive date of July 3, 2011. CDC offered optional technical assistance to potential applicants through a conference call held April 13, 2011 at 10:00 am EST, intended to clarify the scope and intent of the funding opportunity. For help accessing the full announcement, the listed contact was the CDC Procurement and Grants Office TIMS (Phone: 770-488-2700; Email: PGOTIM@cdc.gov).
