Opportunity Summary:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through its Procurement and Grants Office, released a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Evaluation and Impact of a State Law Requiring Mandatory Influenza Vaccination of Hospital Employees (U01)" under Funding Opportunity Number RFA IP 10 003. This opportunity uses a cooperative agreement mechanism (U01), which typically means the CDC expects to have substantial involvement with awardees during the project period, such as collaborating on evaluation design, measures, data use, and dissemination plans. The overall goal is to generate solid evidence on the effects of a specific state policy intervention: a 2006 California law requiring acute care hospitals to implement mandatory influenza vaccination policies for hospital employees.
The central purpose of the funding is to support an evaluation of how this mandatory vaccination requirement has affected hospitals, healthcare workers, and potentially broader influenza-related outcomes in healthcare settings. In practical terms, the funded project(s) would be expected to examine the real world impact of the law, which could include changes in vaccination coverage among hospital staff, differences in compliance and exemption patterns, implementation strategies used by hospitals, and any operational or administrative burdens associated with meeting the legal requirement. Because the topic is influenza vaccination among healthcare personnel, the evaluation may also consider downstream effects such as reductions in workplace influenza transmission risk, impacts on absenteeism, and improvements in patient safety culture, though the specific endpoints would be determined by the project design proposed by the applicant and refined in coordination with CDC.
Funding for this announcement was relatively modest but targeted. The CDC anticipated making one to two awards, with approximately $300,000 available in fiscal year 2010 and an estimated total funding level listed as $600,000. The award ceiling was $600,000 and the award floor was $0, indicating CDC could fund a single larger project up to the ceiling or split support across two awards depending on the quality and scope of applications. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier to entry for applicants that may not have institutional funds to contribute.
Eligibility was described as unrestricted, meaning the competition was open to a wide range of applicant organizations (subject to any clarifications in the full announcement). The program is associated with CFDA 93.185, "Immunization Research, Demonstration, Public Information and Education Training and Clinical Skills Improvement Projects," placing it within CDC's broader immunization research and evaluation portfolio. The activity category is health, consistent with its focus on vaccination policy and healthcare workforce practices.
Key dates show this was a time-limited 2010 competition. The opportunity was posted and created on March 12, 2010, with an original and current application closing date of April 26, 2010. The archive date was May 26, 2010, indicating the announcement was later closed and stored as a historical opportunity. For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, CDC provided contact information for its Procurement and Grants Office, specifically the Technical Information and Management Section (TIMS), with a phone number (770-488-2700) and a general email contact.
Overall, this FOA was designed to produce actionable evaluation findings about a statewide mandate affecting influenza vaccination among hospital employees, using the cooperative agreement model to ensure close coordination with CDC. The results would be positioned to inform public health decision-making about vaccination requirements in healthcare settings, including how such laws can be implemented effectively, what measurable outcomes they produce, and what challenges hospitals may face when translating legal requirements into everyday practice.
