Opportunity Summary:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through its Procurement and Grants Office, released a discretionary funding opportunity called "Family History and Diamond Blackfan Anemia (U01)" under Funding Opportunity Number RFA DD 11 010. This award uses a cooperative agreement mechanism (U01), which typically means the CDC expects to have substantial involvement with the recipient during the project period rather than acting only as a pass-through funder. The program sits within a public health research and surveillance context, tied to CFDA 93.073 (Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities Prevention and Surveillance), and it is intended to support work that improves understanding of a rare disorder with serious clinical consequences.
The central purpose of the project is to strengthen knowledge about how Diamond Blackfan Anemia (DBA) genotypes relate to the range of clinical disease seen in patients and to the risk of downstream complications. In practical terms, the CDC is looking for research that connects genetic findings in DBA to real-world outcomes such as variation in severity, differences in presentation, and the likelihood of complications. By clarifying these genotype-phenotype relationships, the results are meant to translate into better education for healthcare providers as well as clearer guidance and expectations for patients and families. The broader public health payoff described in the announcement is improved treatment and management of DBA based on stronger evidence about genetic risk and clinical trajectories.
Funding for the opportunity was relatively small and highly targeted. The CDC anticipated making a single award, with about $150,000 available in fiscal year 2011 for that one recipient. The listing also provides an overall estimated total funding figure of $450,000, which commonly indicates the potential amount across a multi-year project period, while the annual award ceiling is stated as $150,000 and the award floor is $0. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, lowering barriers for applicants who might not have non-federal funds available to support the work.
Eligibility was described as unrestricted, meaning the opportunity was open to any type of entity, subject to any additional clarifications that might appear in the full announcement text. This typically includes universities, hospitals, research institutes, nonprofits, and other organizations capable of carrying out genetic and clinical research and managing federal cooperative agreements.
The timeline was clearly defined and emphasized strict electronic submission compliance. The opportunity was posted on November 19, 2010, with an application deadline (original and current closing date) of March 1, 2011. Applications had to be submitted through Grants.gov and validated in eRA Commons by 5:00 PM Eastern Time on the due date. The announcement specifically highlighted that CDC/HHS procedures did not include an error-correction window after the deadline, meaning applications needed to be error-free and fully validated on time to be considered. The archive date for the opportunity was March 31, 2011.
For applicants who could not access the announcement electronically or needed administrative help, the CDC provided a point of contact through its Procurement and Grants Office, Technical Information and Management Section (TIMS), reachable by phone at 770-488-2700.
