Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Enhancing Public Health Surveillance of Autism Spectrum Disorders and Other Developmental Disabilities through the Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring (ADDM) Network," is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cooperative agreement focused on public health surveillance related to autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and other developmental disabilities. It sits within the health activity category and is associated with CFDA 93.073, which covers Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities Prevention and Surveillance. The listing does not include a narrative program description in the provided source text, but the title and program context indicate the purpose is to support ongoing, standardized monitoring efforts through the ADDM Network, which is CDC's established framework for tracking ASD and developmental disability prevalence and characteristics to inform public health planning and policy.
The opportunity is explicitly a continuation award rather than an open competition. The eligibility language states that funding is intended only for grantees that were previously awarded under the earlier related announcement, CDC RFA DD15-1501. In practical terms, that means new applicants would not be able to apply under this continuation notice; it is designed to maintain and extend work already underway by existing funded ADDM Network sites or partners. The "Eligible Applicants" field is broadly labeled as "Others," but the additional eligibility clarification narrows it to prior awardees only.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on August 5, 2015, created on August 3, 2015, and had an original and current closing date of September 8, 2015. The archive date is October 8, 2015, indicating it is no longer active. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so recipients were not expected to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award. The award ceiling and award floor are both listed as 0, which typically signals that specific funding ranges were not populated in this summary record and would normally be detailed in the full announcement or determined through continuation award amounts for existing recipients.
Because the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, the CDC would generally be expected to have substantial involvement in the funded activities compared with a standard grant. In the context of a surveillance network like ADDM, that often implies close coordination on surveillance methods, case definitions, data quality procedures, reporting formats, and timelines so that data are comparable across sites and over time. Even though the provided record does not spell out tasks, the overarching intent of the ADDM Network is public health surveillance, meaning the work typically centers on collecting, validating, analyzing, and reporting population-based data that can be used to understand trends in ASD and other developmental disabilities and to guide resource allocation and prevention or early identification strategies.
