Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Extension of the World Trade Center Health Registry (U50)" (Funding Opportunity Number RFA OH 12 001) is a discretionary funding announcement from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) under the Occupational Safety and Health Program (CFDA 93.262). It is structured as a cooperative agreement, which means the CDC expects to have substantial involvement with the funded work rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The central purpose is to extend and expand the World Trade Center Health Registry (WTCHR), a major public health resource originally developed and managed by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in partnership with CDC. The emphasis is on keeping the Registry active, growing its capabilities where needed, and ensuring that data collection continues for individuals affected by the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center.
At its core, the WTCHR functions as a central, unified database designed to study both short-term and long-term health effects among people exposed to the WTC disaster. This includes ongoing follow-up of those who were directly or indirectly impacted, with the aim of tracking health outcomes over time and improving understanding of how large-scale disasters affect physical and mental health across years and even decades. By extending the Registry, the project supports continuity in public health surveillance and research, allowing patterns and trends to be identified that would be difficult or impossible to detect without long-term, systematic tracking. The continued operation of a single, consolidated registry also helps ensure that information is consistent and comparable over time, which is critical for evaluating evolving health risks and outcomes in the affected population.
The announcement indicates a substantial level of funding, with an estimated total of $28,000,000 and an award ceiling of $28,000,000 (with no stated award floor). The anticipated number of awards is listed as 25. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces barriers for eligible entities that may not have large discretionary funds to contribute. The funding activity category is Health, aligning with the Registry's role as an ongoing public health monitoring and assessment system.
Eligibility is broad across many domestic U.S. organization types. Eligible applicants include higher education institutions (public and private), with encouragement for applications from Hispanic-serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), and Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions. Beyond universities, eligibility also extends to nonprofits (other than institutions of higher education), for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profits), and multiple levels of government such as state, county, city or township, special district governments, federally recognized and non-federally recognized tribal governments, U.S. territories or possessions, independent school districts, and public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities. The announcement also allows applications from faith-based and community-based organizations, regional organizations, and tribal organizations that are not federally recognized tribal governments. A specific pathway is included for bona fide agents, meaning an agency or organization formally designated by a state as eligible to apply on the state's behalf; in that case, the applicant must provide a legal, binding agreement documenting that status. Importantly, non-U.S. entities are not eligible, and foreign components of U.S. organizations are also not eligible, keeping the program limited to domestic applicants.
Key administrative dates reflect a defined application window. The opportunity was posted and created on February 10, 2012. A letter of intent was due March 12, 2012, and the full application was due April 11, 2012, which is also the listed closing date. The archive date is May 11, 2012, indicating that the opportunity was time-limited and subsequently moved into an archived status after the submission period ended. These dates matter because they show the typical timeline expectations for similar federal public health cooperative agreements, including the use of a letter of intent to help the agency anticipate review workload and plan technical involvement.
For applicants or others needing help accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact is the CDC Procurement and Grants Office (TIMS), with a phone number (770-488-2700) and email address (PGOTIM@cdc.gov). This is relevant for administrative support, especially for issues related to retrieving the full funding announcement, clarifying submission requirements, or troubleshooting access through grants systems.
Overall, this opportunity is focused on maintaining and strengthening an established, high-value public health registry tied to one of the most significant disaster-related exposure events in U.S. history. The practical outcome is continued, structured data collection and a durable evidence base that can be used to assess health impacts, guide public health decision-making, and support long-range understanding of disaster exposure consequences for the affected population.
