Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Engaging State and Local Emergency Management Agencies to Improve Ability to Prepare for and Respond to All Hazards Events," is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) continuation cooperative agreement focused on strengthening how state and local emergency management partners prepare for and respond to a wide range of emergencies. The emphasis is on "all hazards" readiness, meaning capabilities that apply across different types of incidents, such as infectious disease outbreaks, natural disasters, chemical spills, mass casualty events, and other public health emergencies. As a cooperative agreement, it generally implies substantial federal involvement beyond a standard grant, with CDC working closely with recipients on program implementation, performance expectations, and technical assistance.
The announcement is identified by Funding Opportunity Number CDC-RFA-TP13-130103CONT15 and is categorized explicitly as a continuation award. That continuation status is central: it is not open competition for new applicants. Eligibility is limited to organizations that were previously funded under the original program (TP13-1301, "Engaging State and Local Emergency Management Agencies to Improve Ability to Prepare for and Respond to All Hazards Events"). In practice, this means the funding is designed to sustain ongoing work already underway with existing grantees rather than start brand-new projects with new entities.
This opportunity sits within the CDC public health preparedness landscape and is associated with CFDA 93.069, Public Health Emergency Preparedness (PHEP). The activity category is listed as Health. The announcement anticipates up to 50 awards, reflecting broad engagement across jurisdictions and partners already participating under the earlier award. No cost sharing or matching is required, which reduces the burden on recipients and is consistent with many federal public health preparedness cooperative agreements.
Key administrative dates show it was posted and created on April 15, 2015, with an original and current closing date of April 24, 2015, and an archive date of May 24, 2015. The very short application window is consistent with continuation funding actions, which typically involve existing grantees submitting streamlined continuation or supplemental materials rather than full new applications.
Funding amounts in the public listing are shown as zero for estimated total funding, award ceiling, and award floor. In many federal listings, especially for continuation actions, those fields may be left blank or shown as zero in the public synopsis even though funds are issued through internal budget allocations and continuation award processes. The practical takeaway is that the synopsis does not provide public-facing dollar ranges, and interested parties would need access to the full announcement or be an existing grantee to understand the specific budget parameters tied to their continuation.
For applicants (again, limited to existing TP13-1301 recipients), the program’s intent is to improve readiness and response capability by strengthening engagement between public health and emergency management agencies at state and local levels. While the synopsis does not detail required activities, programs with this title commonly support planning, coordination, training, exercises, and operational improvements that enhance incident management, information sharing, and coordinated response across agencies during emergencies, with a focus on capabilities that remain useful regardless of the hazard type.
For assistance, the CDC provides a point of contact through CDC/PGO/TIMS at pgotim@cdc.gov and by phone at 770-488-2700, specifically noting support if there are difficulties accessing the full announcement electronically.
