Opportunity Summary:
The Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Research Centers Special Interest Project Competitive Supplements (SIPs) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number RFA DP 14 011) is a CDC discretionary grant mechanism offered as a cooperative agreement under the health funding activity category. It is structured as a competitive supplement program, meaning it is designed to add targeted, special-interest funding to an existing CDC-supported infrastructure rather than to create an entirely new standalone program. The central aim of this particular Special Interest Project is to support a qualified institution in evaluating how the Chronic Disease Self-Management Program (CDSMP) affects work-related outcomes, and then to actively disseminate the findings. Dissemination is not treated as an afterthought; the opportunity explicitly anticipates that results may be packaged into practical tools that state health departments and their partners can use when engaging employers and other employment-sector partners.
Eligibility is narrow and intentionally restricted. Only organizations already funded as Prevention Research Centers (PRCs) under CDC Program Announcement DP 14 011 can apply for these SIP supplemental funds. The CDC justifies this limitation by pointing to PRCs unique capacity to conduct and coordinate applied public health research in health promotion and chronic disease prevention, largely because PRCs already have established community partnerships and operational research platforms. Foreign organizations cannot apply directly, and foreign components of U.S. organizations are also not eligible to apply directly. However, applicants may involve foreign collaborators or consultants, with the constraint that no more than 10 percent of the funding may be used for those foreign consultants and collaborators, and all relevant federal laws and policies still apply. The announcement also notes that additional special eligibility requirements may apply depending on the specific SIP proposal description, reinforcing that SIPs can have tailored requirements beyond the baseline PRC eligibility.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $71,684,000 and an expected 167 awards, and it is associated with CFDA number 93.135 (Centers for Research and Demonstration for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention). The listing shows no cost sharing or matching requirement, which generally reduces barriers for eligible applicants by not requiring them to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as 0, which typically signals that award sizes may vary by project and are determined by CDC funding decisions rather than being constrained by fixed minimums or maximums in the summary field.
Key dates in the posting reflect that the announcement was posted on April 21, 2014, with an original closing date of April 30, 2014 at 5:00 PM U.S. Eastern Time, and later amendments adjusting deadlines and application instructions. The materials indicate a current closing date of August 1, 2014, but also specify Amendment III (dated 4/25/14) changing the application due date to May 5, 2014 at 5:00 PM Eastern. In addition to deadline updates, Amendment III modifies application form instructions to clarify that applicants should select "NEW" for the type of application on the SF424 Research and Related face page for each submission, and that the PHS 398 Research Plan components should be those applicable to NEW applications only, without submitting revision-application forms. The archive date is listed as August 31, 2014, indicating when the announcement was expected to be retired from active posting.
Overall, this SIP is best understood as targeted CDC supplemental support for PRCs to generate applied evidence on whether and how CDSMP influences employment-related outcomes, and to translate that evidence into usable dissemination products for public health agencies and their partners. The cooperative agreement structure also typically implies substantial CDC involvement during the project period (for example, collaboration on implementation, monitoring, and dissemination expectations), aligning with the opportunitys emphasis on both evaluation rigor and practical, field-ready dissemination to employment-sector stakeholders. For technical access issues, the CDC Procurement and Grants Office Technical Information Management Section (TIMS) is listed as the contact point (770-488-2700, pgotim@cdc.gov).
