Opportunity Summary:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) funding opportunity CDC-RFA-CK12-1210, titled "Epidemiology and Laboratory Capacity for Infectious Diseases (ELC) Food Safety Modernization Act Integrated Food Safety Centers of Excellence," is a discretionary cooperative agreement intended to designate a small set of organizations as Integrated Food Safety Centers of Excellence (CoE) under the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). The main goal is not simply to fund a stand-alone project, but to identify and formalize CoE sites that can strengthen and coordinate food safety capacity, drawing on CDC's broader Epidemiology and Laboratory Capacity (ELC) infrastructure for infectious diseases. The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally means CDC expects substantial involvement in the work through collaboration, technical assistance, and ongoing programmatic coordination rather than operating strictly as a hands-off grantmaker.
This announcement was posted on May 17, 2012, with an original and final application deadline of July 17, 2012, and it was archived on August 16, 2012. CDC anticipated making approximately five awards. The catalog listing associated with the opportunity is CFDA 93.283, described as CDC Investigations and Technical Assistance. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier for eligible applicants by not requiring them to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award. The stated award ceiling is $500,000, and the award floor is listed as $0, indicating CDC did not guarantee a minimum amount and that final funding levels would depend on application review, scope, and available funds.
Eligibility is narrow and tied directly to FSMA requirements and existing CDC cooperative agreement relationships. Only State Public Health Departments are eligible, and they must have secured partnerships with one or more institutions of higher learning. In addition, applicants must already be current grantees under the ELC Affordable Care Act (ACA) Cooperative Agreement tied to a separate funding opportunity announcement, CDC FOA CI10-1012. This effectively limits the applicant pool to states that are already funded through ELC ACA and that can demonstrate a formal and functional collaboration with academic partners, reinforcing the idea that the CoE model is meant to blend public health practice with training, research, and technical expertise available through universities and similar institutions.
A key administrative detail in this opportunity is how funds are awarded. While CDC uses CK12-1210 to solicit applications and select the organizations that will be designated as Centers of Excellence, the actual dollars for CoE activities are awarded under the successful applicant's existing ELC ACA cooperative agreement (CI10-1012), not as an entirely separate grant award line. In practical terms, this means applicants would apply through CK12-1210 for CoE designation and the associated work plan, but if selected, the funding would be implemented through their already-active ELC ACA award structure. This approach streamlines oversight and aligns CoE activities with the broader ELC program framework that supports epidemiology and laboratory capacity for infectious diseases.
Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a targeted CDC effort to stand up a limited number of FSMA-aligned, academically partnered state-based Centers of Excellence that can serve as hubs for improving and integrating food safety activities, leveraging existing ELC capacity. For applicants needing assistance accessing the full announcement, CDC provided a general point of contact through CDC PGO TIMS at 770-488-2700 for submission and access issues.
