Opportunity Summary:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through its Procurement and Grants Office, issued a discretionary funding opportunity announcement titled "Extension of the World Trade Center Registry (U50)" under Funding Opportunity Number RFA OH 09 002. The announcement centers on continuing and broadening the World Trade Center (WTC) Health Registry, a large public health registry originally developed and operated by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (NYC DOHMH) in partnership with CDC. The intent is to support ongoing registry operations so the long-term health consequences associated with the September 11, 2001 disaster can continue to be tracked, studied, and better understood over time.
This opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement (U50), meaning CDC is expected to have substantial involvement in the funded activities rather than acting solely as a pass-through funder. The program sits within the Health activity category and is associated with CFDA number 93.262, the Occupational Safety and Health Program. In practical terms, the cooperative agreement mechanism signals an ongoing collaboration between CDC and NYC DOHMH on program direction, implementation planning, and public health deliverables tied to maintaining and expanding the registry.
Funding for this announcement was estimated at approximately $12,000,000 for fiscal year 2009, with an award ceiling also listed as $12,000,000. Only one award was anticipated, which matches the single-recipient design of the program. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility for this funding was effectively restricted to a single entity. While the listing includes a general "Others" category with a note to consult additional eligibility language, the eligibility information clearly states that assistance would be provided only to the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. This reflects the fact that NYC DOHMH developed and manages the WTC Health Registry and is therefore positioned as the sole applicant capable of continuing the work at the scale and continuity required.
The announcement was posted and created on January 27, 2009. The original and current closing date for applications was March 12, 2009, and the archive date was April 11, 2009. CDC projected an estimated funding date of August 31, 2009. For applicants or stakeholders who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, CDC listed the Technical Information Management Section (PGOTIMS) as the point of contact, reachable by phone at 770-488-2700. For full program details, CDC directed readers to the funding opportunity listings on its website at http://www.cdc.gov/od/pgo/funding/FOAs.htm.
