Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Enhancing Cancer Registries for Early Case Capture of Pediatric and Young Adult Cancer Cases" is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cooperative agreement designed to strengthen central cancer registry (CCR) infrastructure so pediatric and young adult cancer cases can be reported faster and made available sooner for public health surveillance. The core goal is to support Early Case Capture (ECC), meaning registries can identify, receive, process, and share information on newly diagnosed cases more rapidly than under standard reporting timelines. By improving the speed and usability of these data, the program aims to expand what local, state, and national public health agencies can do with timely cancer information, including monitoring patterns, supporting investigations, and improving situational awareness of childhood and young adult cancers.
This is a discretionary health funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement mechanism, which typically means CDC expects to have substantial involvement beyond simply providing funds. Awards were anticipated for about 10 recipients, with an estimated total funding amount of $7,200,000. No cost sharing or matching was required. The funding listing references CFDA number 93.283, associated with CDC investigations and technical assistance, signaling that the effort is tied to applied public health practice and capacity building rather than basic research.
Eligibility was limited and specific: applicants needed to be state governments, and more precisely state health departments (or their bona fide agents) that were already funded under a prior CDC funding announcement (CDC RFA DP07-703). In other words, the program was structured as an enhancement or expansion for established registry programs rather than a start-up opportunity for new organizations. That eligibility constraint suggests CDC was targeting jurisdictions with existing foundational registry operations and looking to accelerate and modernize their ability to collect and report pediatric and young adult cancer data quickly.
The timeline for this opportunity reflects that it was posted in late June 2011, with an application closing date of July 29, 2011 at 5:00 pm Eastern, and it was later archived on August 28, 2011. While the summary details do not specify award ceilings or floors (both are listed as 0 in the source data, which often indicates "see full announcement" or that amounts vary by applicant and are not expressed as fixed limits), the overall total funding and expected number of awards provide a general sense of the scale.
Operationally, the work supported by this opportunity centers on improving CCR infrastructure to reduce delays from diagnosis to registry availability for pediatric and young adult cases. In practice, infrastructure improvements in this context commonly involve strengthening electronic reporting pipelines, improving data processing workflows, enhancing data quality checks that can run earlier in the reporting cycle, and building the staffing, systems, and partnerships needed to obtain case information rapidly from reporting sources such as hospitals, pathology laboratories, and specialized pediatric oncology centers. The emphasis on making ECC data more available for surveillance at multiple levels also points to the need for registries to produce usable, timely datasets and reports that can inform state and national surveillance activities.
The sponsoring agency was the CDC. For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was the CDC Procurement and Grants Office (PGO), Technical Information and Management Section (TIMS), reachable by phone at 770-488-2700 for general submission inquiries.
