Opportunity Summary:
The Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Research Centers Special Interest Project Competitive Supplements (SIPS) (U48) funding opportunity (RFA DP09-00101SUPP09) was issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) through its Procurement and Grants Office as a discretionary cooperative agreement. The purpose of the announcement was to provide competitive supplemental funds to existing CDC-supported Prevention Research Centers (PRCs) so they could design, test, and disseminate practical prevention research strategies that address major chronic disease and public health priorities. In other words, this was not a stand-alone new center award, but an add-on funding stream intended to expand or accelerate targeted PRC projects that align with CDC special interest areas.
The core focus of the supplements was chronic disease prevention and control, with priority topic areas specifically called out in the announcement. These included cancer prevention and control; nutrition, physical activity, and obesity; heart disease and stroke; epilepsy; tobacco prevention; unintended pregnancy; and aging. The emphasis on designing, testing, and disseminating strategies signals an expectation that funded work would move beyond planning or descriptive research into applied prevention research, often involving intervention development, implementation in real community settings, evaluation of effectiveness, and then sharing results or tools so others can replicate what works.
Funding availability for fiscal year 2009 was estimated at approximately 12,436,000 total to support up to 57 awards. Individual awards had an estimated ceiling of 125,000, with no stated award floor. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The assistance listing tied to the opportunity was CFDA 93.135, Centers for Research and Demonstration for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention, which aligns with the PRC infrastructure and mission of conducting community-engaged prevention research.
Eligibility was limited and highly specific. Only applicants that had applied for and been selected as Prevention Research Centers under CDC Program Announcement DP09-001 were allowed to compete for these SIPS supplemental funds. The rationale provided was that PRCs are uniquely positioned to carry out and coordinate community-based participatory research because they already have established partnerships and the organizational capacity to work with communities, implement interventions, and translate findings into practice. For organizations not already funded as PRCs under that program announcement, this supplement competition was not open.
Key dates reflected a standard grant timeline with a short turnaround. The opportunity was posted March 18, 2009. The original application deadline was May 15, 2009, but it was extended to May 22, 2009, with applications due by 5:00 PM Eastern Time on the closing date. The estimated funding date was prior to September 30, 2009. The opportunity was later archived June 14, 2009. The funding instrument type was a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that CDC expected substantial involvement during the project period, such as collaboration on programmatic direction, technical assistance, or coordination around dissemination and evaluation expectations.
Applicants were directed to the full announcement on Grants.gov for complete requirements, application instructions, and programmatic details. For access issues, the listed contact was PGO TIMS at 770-488-2700, with a general email contact also referenced.
