Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Engaging State and Local Emergency Management Agencies to Improve States Ability to Prepare for and Respond to All Hazards Events" is a CDC-funded cooperative agreement designed to strengthen how the United States prepares for and responds to emergencies that affect public health. The central goal is to improve national readiness across "all hazards" events, meaning incidents that could stem from natural disasters, accidents, or deliberate acts, especially situations involving the intentional or unintentional release of biological or chemical agents that could cause illness, injury, or wider population impacts. The opportunity emphasizes that effective public health response depends on clear coordination among local, state, and federal partners, with each level having distinct responsibilities that still depend on one another. It also highlights the idea that emergency response infrastructure cannot be built in isolation and must be developed collaboratively across agencies and jurisdictions.
This funding opportunity was issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention under Funding Opportunity Number RFA TP10 1004, within the Public Health Emergency Preparedness CFDA program (93.069). It falls under the "Discretionary" opportunity category and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which generally indicates the CDC expects active involvement in the project beyond simply issuing funds. The activity category is Health, and the program is structured for a single expected award. The total estimated funding is $300,000, while the individual award amount is set at $100,000 (with both the ceiling and floor listed as $100,000). There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not required to provide additional non-federal funds to receive the award.
A key feature of this opportunity is that it is not open competition. Eligibility is limited exclusively to the National Emergency Management Association (NEMA), and no other applicants are invited or solicited. The announcement explains that NEMA is considered uniquely qualified because it is the national professional association representing state and insular state emergency management directors and serves as a central coordination and leadership body for comprehensive emergency management. NEMA is positioned as a national resource for emergency management leadership, supports strategic partnerships, and represents the interests of state and local governments as an affiliate of the Council of State Governments. Its membership spans all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and U.S. territories including American Samoa, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, which gives it broad reach for sharing practices, aligning policies, and improving readiness across jurisdictions. The CDC also notes NEMA's established relationships with state and local emergency management agencies, its role in advancing policies that strengthen response capacity, its routine meetings and conferences for sharing best practices, and its ability to disseminate information through an existing web presence. The announcement further describes NEMA as the only organization that brings together the many disciplines involved in emergency prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery in a nationwide structure.
The public health focus areas connected to this effort align with the draft Healthy People 2010 priorities, specifically Environmental Health, Immunization and Infectious Disease, and Public Health Infrastructure. In practical terms, the opportunity is framed around improving the systems, partnerships, and shared capabilities that allow public health and emergency management to operate as an integrated network during crises, particularly when dealing with biological or chemical hazards that require fast detection, coordinated decision-making, and effective public communication and response operations.
The opportunity timeline shows it was posted and created on July 15, 2010, with an original and current closing date of August 16, 2010, and an archive date of September 15, 2010.
