Opportunity Summary:
The Global Partnerships for Cancer Prevention and Control opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA DP13-1312) is a CDC cooperative agreement designed to bring proven international cancer control approaches back into CDC programs in ways that strengthen cancer prevention and control efforts in the United States. The central idea is practical learning and capacity-building: by working closely with a highly experienced global cancer-registration leader, CDC aims to identify what has worked in other regions, adapt those practices, and use them to improve domestic cancer surveillance, research support, and program operations that ultimately serve state, tribal, and territorial cancer programs.
The funded work is organized around four main activity areas. First, the awardee would help establish or strengthen high-quality cancer registries by developing “centers for excellence,†with emphasis on U.S. territories and other CDC global focus regions. These registry efforts are meant to improve the completeness, quality, and usability of cancer data, which is foundational for planning and evaluating prevention and screening programs. Second, the program emphasizes technical exchanges between CDC and the awardee, meaning structured collaboration, knowledge transfer, and hands-on technical support rather than a simple pass-through grant. Third, CDC intends to draw on consultations with global experts to guide CDC priority cancer activities, using international expertise to inform decisions on surveillance, screening, and prevention strategies. Fourth, the award supports collaboration on developing and disseminating monographs and other publications that promote evidence-based prevention across several cancer types, specifically highlighting cervical cancer (and other HPV-related cancers), breast, lung, skin, colorectal, and other cancers as appropriate.
A major expected benefit is that strengthening CDC’s global collaboration and technical capacity feeds directly into stronger U.S. cancer prevention and control infrastructure. Better registry systems and improved analytic and programmatic know-how can translate into more reliable cancer burden estimates, clearer tracking of trends, and more informed targeting of screening and prevention resources. CDC frames the outcome as improved ability to support and guide state, tribal, and territorial efforts through stronger surveillance, research, and program implementation, built in part through international technical partnership.
The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by CDC in program direction, coordination, and technical collaboration. The opportunity was posted June 18, 2013, with a letter of intent due May 16, 2013, and an application deadline of June 30, 2013 (archived July 30, 2013). The estimated total funding amount is $750,000, with one expected award, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed. The CFDA number is 93.283 (CDC Investigations and Technical Assistance). Award floor and ceiling are shown as $0 in the source data, which often reflects that final award amounts may be determined by CDC based on the approved project and available funds rather than being bounded in the summary listing.
Eligibility is unusually specific and restricted to non-U.S. (non-domestic) entities with deep, demonstrated experience in global cancer registry development and cancer control collaboration. The applicant is expected to be a recognized leader in cancer registration with at least a decade of documented work supporting registry development in low- and middle-income countries, and to have trusted access and relationships with relevant authorities in countries across Africa, Asia, and Latin America. The organization must show it can operate at scale through established regional resource hubs in at least two low-income regions and a worldwide network of trained cancer registry professionals capable of coordinating complex multi-country initiatives with ministries of health and academic institutions. The eligibility criteria also emphasize the ability to convene global cancer-control organizations, maintain longstanding partnerships with ministries of health, academic institutions, and international NGOs, and provide technical tools used in cancer registration globally, including support for statistical software for registries. In addition, the applicant should have a track record of convening experts to produce scientific monographs on cancer prevention and etiology, and of disseminating global quality assurance guidelines related to cervical, breast, and colorectal cancer screening.
In practical terms, this opportunity is aimed at selecting a single, internationally established technical leader that can serve as a strategic partner to CDC, helping improve cancer registry quality and cancer prevention knowledge through expert exchange, structured consultation, and high-impact publications. The program’s focus on registries, expert consultation, and evidence-based prevention materials reflects CDC’s intent to strengthen the data backbone and applied guidance that underpin effective cancer prevention and control both globally and within U.S. public health systems.
FAQs: Global Partnerships for Cancer Prevention and Control (CDC RFA DP13-1312)
What is the purpose of the Global Partnerships for Cancer Prevention and Control opportunity (CDC RFA DP13-1312)?
This CDC cooperative agreement is designed to bring proven international cancer control approaches back into CDC programs in ways that strengthen cancer prevention and control efforts in the United States. The core idea is practical learning and capacity-building: identify strategies that have worked in other regions, adapt them where appropriate, and use them to improve domestic cancer surveillance, research support, and program operations that ultimately support state, tribal, and territorial cancer programs.
What type of funding mechanism is this award?
The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement. This typically means CDC expects substantial involvement in program direction, coordination, and technical collaboration, rather than providing a grant with minimal federal engagement.
How is a cooperative agreement different from a typical grant in this opportunity?
Based on the description provided, the cooperative agreement structure emphasizes structured collaboration, technical exchanges, consultations, and joint work products (such as monographs and publications). The award is described as involving hands-on technical support and knowledge transfer, not a simple pass-through of funds.
What are the main activity areas supported by this funding opportunity?
The funded work is organized around four main activity areas:
- Helping establish or strengthen high-quality cancer registries by developing "centers for excellence," with emphasis on U.S. territories and other CDC global focus regions.
- Conducting technical exchanges between CDC and the awardee through structured collaboration and knowledge transfer.
