Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Immunization Enhanced Surveillance for New Vaccine Preventable Disease," funded in part by the 2013 Prevention and Public Health Funds (Affordable Care Act Prevention and Public Health Fund), is a CDC continuation grant designed to support and expand public health surveillance activities related to vaccine-preventable diseases, with a specific emphasis on enhanced surveillance for diseases that are new or emerging in immunization programs. In practical terms, the program is meant to help jurisdictions and their designated partners strengthen systems that detect, track, and respond to vaccine-preventable disease events, producing higher-quality, more timely data that can guide immunization policy, program operations, and outbreak response. The opportunity falls under the health activity category, uses a grant funding instrument, and was announced as a continuation opportunity rather than a brand-new competitive program.
The CDC expected to make 5 awards under this funding announcement, with an estimated total funding amount of $3,900,000. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0, which typically indicates that specific per-award funding levels are not stated in the summary field and are instead detailed in the full announcement or determined by continuation award structures and available appropriations. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning recipients are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award. The funding opportunity is associated with CFDA number 93.533, which is tied to the Prevention and Public Health Fund Enhanced Surveillance for New Vaccine Preventable Disease.
Eligibility is broad but clearly bounded by public purpose requirements. Eligible applicants include states (or bona fide agents of states), political subdivisions of states, and other public or nonprofit private entities. A key condition is that if an applicant is applying as a bona fide agent of a state or local government, they must provide a legal, binding agreement from the relevant state or local government documenting that status, and this documentation must be submitted with the application materials (as an "Other Attachment" when applying through Grants.gov). The eligible applicant categories listed span public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (other than institutions of higher education), and multiple levels of government, including state, county, city/township, special district governments, U.S. territories or possessions, and tribal governments (both federally recognized and other than federally recognized, as specified). It also includes entities such as independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, regional organizations, faith-based or community-based organizations, and other qualified tribal organizations. The announcement explicitly encourages applications from specific types of higher education institutions that are often underrepresented in federal funding portfolios, including Hispanic-serving institutions, historically black colleges and universities, tribally controlled colleges and universities, and Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian-serving institutions. At the same time, the announcement is clear that non-U.S. entities are not eligible to apply, and foreign components of U.S. organizations are not allowed.
From a timeline standpoint, the opportunity was posted and created on June 20, 2013, with an original and current closing date of July 19, 2013. The archive date is listed as August 18, 2013, indicating when the opportunity was removed from active listing after the closing period. The administering agency is the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, the contact point provided is the CDC Procurement and Grants Office Technical Information Management team, reachable by phone at (770) 488-2700. The listing also notes that the "Additional Information" link in the summary view is not active and that applicants were expected to access details by selecting the full announcement in the posting interface.
Overall, this opportunity can be understood as a targeted CDC investment aimed at improving the surveillance backbone that supports immunization programs, especially for tracking new vaccine-preventable diseases or new surveillance needs associated with vaccine introductions. The structure and eligibility language suggest a focus on ensuring that states and their designated partners have the authority, governance alignment, and operational capacity to collect, analyze, and share surveillance data in a way that strengthens public health decision-making and response activities, without imposing a matching requirement that could limit participation.
