Opportunity Summary:
The Immunization Information Systems (IIS) Sentinel Site Project (Funding Opportunity Number: CDC RFA IP14 140702CONT15) is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cooperative agreement intended to continue previously awarded support for strengthening selected Immunization Information Systems "sentinel sites." IIS are confidential, population-based databases that collect and consolidate vaccination records from healthcare providers and other vaccinators within a jurisdiction. In the context of this opportunity, the term "sentinel site" refers to a subset of IIS grantees that are positioned to provide higher-capacity, higher-quality data and operational capabilities that can be used to enhance immunization program support, measurement, and response activities.
This specific announcement is categorized as a continuation opportunity rather than an open, competitive solicitation. Eligibility is limited to recipients that were already funded under the earlier award IP14 1407, titled "Increasing IIS Sentinel Site Capacity for Enhanced Program Support." In practical terms, that means new applicants are not eligible; the funding is meant to extend or sustain work that began under the original sentinel site capacity-building effort. The opportunity was posted on April 10, 2015, created the same day, and had an original and current closing date of May 29, 2015, with an archive date of June 28, 2015.
The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates substantial federal involvement compared to a standard grant. Under cooperative agreements, the CDC typically works closely with awardees through collaboration, technical assistance, guidance on performance expectations, and alignment with national immunization priorities. The activity category is Health, and the CFDA number listed is 93.268 (Immunization Cooperative Agreements), placing it within CDC's broader immunization infrastructure and program support portfolio. The listing indicates an expected number of awards of 50, which is consistent with funding structures that often span multiple jurisdictions, programs, or established grantee entities.
The funding details in the record show an estimated total funding amount of 0 and an award ceiling and floor of 0. In many federal listings, especially continuations or modifications, this can appear when amounts are handled through separate budget documents, prior-year allocations, internal continuation actions, or when the public synopsis is not used to announce new dollars. It does not necessarily mean that no funds were provided; rather, it suggests that the synopsis itself does not specify the dollar amounts. The opportunity states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so recipients would not be required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of award.
In terms of purpose, the short description provided is simply "Immunization Information Systems (IIS) Sentinel Site Project," but the continuation framing and the reference to increasing sentinel site capacity implies ongoing efforts such as improving IIS data quality and completeness, strengthening technical and operational infrastructure, enhancing the ability to use IIS data for vaccination coverage assessment and program decision-making, and supporting more timely, reliable immunization information for public health action. Sentinel sites are often used to pilot improvements, validate approaches, and provide more detailed or higher-confidence data that can inform CDC and immunization partners, with the expectation that successful practices may be scaled or adapted by other IIS programs.
