Opportunity Summary:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through its Procurement and Grants Office, issued a discretionary grant funding opportunity called the Environmental Health and Toxicology Educational Research Program (U01) under Funding Opportunity Number RFA TS 09 003. This program uses the U01 grant mechanism and sits within the health funding activity category. The overall aim of the announcement is educational: it is designed to strengthen knowledge and training in environmental health and toxicology for three broad audiences, including students, public health professionals, and community outreach groups. In practical terms, projects funded under this announcement would be expected to develop or deliver education, training, and related educational research activities that build capacity in environmental health topics and help extend that capacity into professional practice and community settings.
For fiscal year 2009, the CDC anticipated making two awards with an estimated total program funding level of approximately $500,000. The award ceiling listed for individual projects is $250,000, which aligns with the expectation of two similarly sized awards. The opportunity explicitly states that there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of award. The estimated funding date provided in the notice is August 31, 2009, indicating when awards were expected to be finalized and funds made available, assuming successful review and selection.
Eligibility for this opportunity is broad and includes many types of organizations that could reasonably conduct environmental health education and outreach. Eligible applicants include private and public institutions of higher education; nonprofit organizations (including those with and without 501(c)(3) status, other than institutions of higher education); state, county, city or township governments; special district governments; federally recognized Native American tribal governments and other Native American tribal organizations; small businesses; and for-profit organizations that are not small businesses. This wide eligibility suggests the CDC intended to encourage participation from universities, public-sector agencies, community-focused organizations, and other entities capable of developing training programs or educational initiatives with a public health focus.
The key dates associated with the announcement are also clearly defined. The opportunity was posted on March 18, 2009, with a creation date of April 10, 2009. A letter of intent deadline was set for April 17, 2009, and the application closing date was May 19, 2009 (with the original and current closing dates matching). The archive date was June 18, 2009, reflecting when the opportunity would no longer be actively listed for new submissions. Applicants were directed to consult the full Funding Opportunity Announcement on Grants.gov for complete program requirements, expectations, and submission instructions.
For assistance accessing the full announcement electronically, the notice provides a point of contact through the CDC Technical Information Management Section, listed as PGOTOIMS, with the phone number 770-488-2700.
