Opportunity Summary:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) offered this discretionary funding opportunity, titled "Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders Regional Training Centers," under Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA DD11 1107. It was structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the CDC expected to have substantial involvement with awardees during the project period rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The program fell under the health activity category and was associated with CFDA 93.073, Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities Prevention and Surveillance.
The core purpose of the announcement was to support regional training programs focused on fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASDs). The intent was practical and workforce-facing: to strengthen the skills of medical and allied health students as well as practicing professionals in preventing, identifying, and treating FASDs. A major emphasis was placed on improving training and promotion of alcohol screening and brief intervention (SBI) specifically for women of reproductive age, reflecting a prevention strategy aimed at reducing alcohol-exposed pregnancies. In other words, beyond clinical recognition and management of FASDs, the opportunity pushed strongly toward routine screening practices and brief counseling interventions that can reduce risky alcohol use among patients who could become pregnant.
The CDC anticipated making up to five awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $8,075,000 across the program. Individual awards were expected to fall within a relatively narrow band, with a stated award floor of $250,000 and an award ceiling of $300,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility was aimed at universities and colleges, with the eligible applicant type also listed as "Others" alongside a note to consult the full announcement for clarification. This framing suggests the CDC primarily wanted academic institutions capable of building and delivering structured training programs, likely leveraging existing medical, nursing, public health, psychology, social work, or other allied health curricula, clinical partnerships, and continuing education platforms. The regional training center concept also implies an expectation that awardees would serve defined geographic areas and extend training reach beyond a single campus or clinic, potentially through partnerships with health systems, professional associations, and community-based providers.
Key dates indicate the opportunity was posted on June 6, 2011, with an original (and final) application deadline of July 21, 2011 at 5:00 pm Eastern Time, and it was archived on August 20, 2011. For access issues related to the full announcement, the CDC Procurement and Grants Office (PGO), Technical Information and Management Section (TIMS) was listed as the contact point, with a general inquiries phone number provided (770-488-2700). The listing notes that the direct link was not active and instructed applicants to use the "Full Announcement" tab, indicating that detailed requirements, review criteria, work plan expectations, and reporting obligations were contained in the full application package rather than the summary page.
