Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Enhanced Data Collection of Central Nervous System Malignant and Non Malignant Tumors" (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA DP11-1106) is a CDC cooperative agreement designed to strengthen how State Central Cancer Registries collect and report information on central nervous system (CNS) tumors, including both malignant and non-malignant cases. The core aim is to build on existing registry infrastructure so that CNS tumor cases can be captured, processed, and reported much faster than traditional timelines, with an emphasis on getting usable case information within weeks of diagnosis rather than months. By speeding up and improving the completeness of CNS tumor data, the project is intended to support better public health action, including prevention initiatives, earlier detection approaches, and improved treatment planning and evaluation.
This opportunity sits within the CDCs health-related funding activities and uses a cooperative agreement funding instrument. That means the CDC is not only providing funding, but is also expected to have substantial involvement in the funded work, such as providing guidance, technical input, or coordination support during the project period. The program is associated with CFDA number 93.283, which relates to CDC Investigations and Technical Assistance, and it explicitly states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, lowering the financial barrier for applicants who might otherwise need to contribute non-federal funds.
In terms of funding scale, the CDC anticipated making one award under this announcement, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,000,000. The award ceiling listed is $200,000 and the award floor is $0, indicating that individual budget sizes could vary but would not exceed the stated cap under the terms presented in the summary. The posting date and creation date were both June 30, 2011, and the application deadline was August 3, 2011 at 5:00 pm Eastern Standard Time. The opportunity was archived on September 2, 2011, meaning it is no longer open, but the summary still provides a clear snapshot of the program goals and structure.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, essentially open to any type of entity, with the caveat that applicants should review the full announcement for any detailed eligibility clarifications. Practically, because the project is about enhancing State Central Cancer Registry infrastructure, the most relevant applicants would typically be those directly operating or supporting population-based cancer registry systems, or organizations positioned to work closely with them. The emphasis on infrastructure enhancement strongly suggests the work would involve improving data pipelines and reporting workflows, strengthening data quality and standardization, and expanding the ability of registries to consistently include CNS tumor cases (including non-malignant tumors, which historically have been more challenging to capture uniformly across jurisdictions).
The public health value behind the grant is straightforward: faster, more complete CNS tumor data can improve situational awareness and allow public health agencies, researchers, and clinicians to see patterns earlier, identify potential gaps in diagnosis or care, and evaluate interventions with more timely feedback. Rapid reporting is especially important for conditions like CNS tumors where case counts may be relatively low compared with other cancers but where the consequences for patients and healthcare systems are significant, and where understanding incidence, survival, treatment patterns, and geographic or demographic differences can inform better decisions.

The contact for help accessing the announcement electronically was the CDC Procurement and Grants Office (PGO), Technical Information and Management Section (TIMS), with a general inquiries phone number of 770-488-2700.

What problem is the program trying to solve?
The program is designed to improve the speed and completeness of CNS tumor case capture, processing, and reporting. A key emphasis is producing usable case information within weeks of diagnosis rather than months.
Why does faster reporting matter for CNS tumor data?
Faster, more complete data can support better public health action. The summary highlights uses such as prevention initiatives, earlier detection approaches, and improved treatment planning and evaluation. It also notes that rapid reporting is especially important for CNS tumors because, even though case counts may be lower than many other cancers, the consequences for patients and health systems are significant.
