Opportunity Summary:
Healthy Passages: A Community-based Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (U19) is a CDC funding opportunity designed to support a long-term, community-based research effort focused on adolescent health and the factors that shape it over time. Run through the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and housed within the CDCs National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, the program is meant to strengthen the evidence base around adolescent health behaviors, outcomes, and disparities. It is framed explicitly around the Healthy People 2010 national agenda, with an emphasis on both improving overall health and reducing gaps in health outcomes between different populations.
The opportunity is offered as a cooperative agreement, which signals that CDC expects to have substantial involvement in the project rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. In practical terms, this usually means the awardees conduct the study work while coordinating closely with CDC on expectations, performance measures, and deliverables. The announcement also ties the work to federal accountability requirements under the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA), so the study is positioned not only as research for publications, but also as a way to measure progress and inform public health performance goals.
Programmatically, the grant targets a broad set of adolescent health domains that map to Healthy People 2010 priority areas. These include access to quality health services; educational and community-based programs; injury and violence prevention; mental health and mental disorders; nutrition and overweight; physical activity and fitness; sexually transmitted diseases; substance abuse; tobacco use; and vision and hearing. By spanning this range, the FOA makes clear that adolescent health is being treated as a multi-factor issue shaped by schools, communities, family context, healthcare access, and behavior, rather than as a single-disease or single-intervention topic.
The FOA also highlights specific CDC performance goals related to youth health behaviors, particularly in school and community settings. These include maintaining a high proportion of high school students who are taught HIV/AIDS prevention in school (with a stated target of 90 percent or greater), increasing the proportion of adolescents in grades 9 through 12 who either abstain from sexual intercourse or use condoms if sexually active, and increasing the percentage of youth in grades 9 through 12 who achieve at least 60 minutes of physical activity per day on at least five of the previous seven days. Taken together, these priorities point to a focus on prevention-oriented behaviors (sexual health education and safer sex practices, physical activity) that are strongly linked to long-term chronic disease risk and overall well-being.
Funding details indicate a relatively tight, predetermined structure. CDC expected to make three awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $3.3 million. Each award is listed with the same floor and ceiling of $1.1 million, which effectively means each recipient was anticipated to receive $1.1 million. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement noted. The award is associated with CFDA 93.068, Chronic Diseases Research, Control, and Prevention, reinforcing that the adolescent focus is being connected to chronic disease prevention and population health outcomes.
Eligibility for this opportunity was narrow and specifically limited to three institutions: the University of Alabama at Birmingham, the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, and the University of California, Los Angeles. That kind of restricted eligibility usually indicates CDC intended to fund specific established study sites or research partners, often because of existing infrastructure, prior phases of work, or the need for continuity in a longitudinal design.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted December 31, 2009, with an application deadline of February 26, 2010, and an archive date of March 28, 2010. For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, CDC provided a grants contact point through PGOTIM, including a phone number and email (770-488-2700 and pgotim@cdc.gov).
