Opportunity Summary:

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through its Procurement and Grants Office, released a discretionary funding opportunity (CDC RFA DD10-1002) called "Enhancing Public Health Surveillance of Autism Spectrum Disorders and Other Developmental Disabilities through the Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring (ADDM) Network." The core goal is to strengthen public health surveillance capacity so that existing, currently operating surveillance programs can implement or improve a population-based, multiple-source monitoring system focused on autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and other developmental disabilities in children who are eight years old. In practical terms, the CDC is looking to support state-level efforts that can collect and synthesize information from more than one data source to track ASD and developmental disability prevalence and characteristics in a standardized way consistent with the ADDM Network approach. The overall intent is to bring sites up to the level needed to participate as active members of the ADDM Network, which is CDC's long-running platform for comparable, population-based ASD surveillance across participating areas.

The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, meaning recipients should expect substantial CDC involvement beyond simple pass-through funding. The announcement indicates an expectation of collaboration with CDC on surveillance methods, implementation, and reporting in order to align with ADDM Network standards. The funding activity category is health, and the CFDA listing provided is 93.283 (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Investigations and Technical Assistance). A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, so applicants would need to plan for meeting that requirement as part of their application package and budget approach.

For fiscal year 2010, the total estimated funding is approximately $4,750,000. The opportunity lists award amounts in a relatively narrow band, with an award floor of $375,000 and an award ceiling of $425,000 per award. The narrative description mentions an expectation of funding about 10 awards, while the source data field "ExpectedAwards" lists 15, so applicants would have needed to rely on the full FOA language on Grants.gov for the definitive award estimate and how CDC planned to allocate awards among applicants. The estimated start of the funding period is June 2010.

Eligible applicants are state health departments or their bona fide agents, with eligibility explicitly extending beyond U.S. states to include the District of Columbia and several U.S. territories and freely associated states, including the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, Guam, the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Republic of Palau. The emphasis on "currently operational surveillance programs (whether funded by CDC or other sources)" signals that CDC was prioritizing applicants that already had some surveillance infrastructure in place and could realistically expand or refine it into a rigorous, population-based, multiple-source system that matches ADDM Network expectations.

Key dates included a posted date of December 4, 2009, with the application closing date set for February 22, 2010. A letter of intent was requested by January 15, 2010. The archive date is March 24, 2010, reflecting when the opportunity would be formally archived in the system after the submission window closed.

For technical difficulties accessing the full announcement, CDC provided a contact point through the Technical Information Management Section (PGOTIM) at 770-488-2700. The full program requirements, required activities, deliverables, and application instructions were housed on Grants.gov under the listed funding opportunity number and title.
