Opportunity Summary:
The Immunization Information Systems (IIS) Sentinel Site Project is a CDC grant opportunity designed to strengthen and expand how immunization registries are used, with a strong emphasis on turning IIS data into actionable public health insight. At its core, the program supports selected "sentinel sites" (specific states or cities operating IIS programs) in studying vaccine use among children and adolescents ages 0 through 18 within their jurisdictions. The intent is not only to improve local IIS capacity, but also to develop practical methods and evidence that can be shared across the wider IIS community nationwide. By funding focused projects in a limited number of locations, CDC aims to produce deeper analyses, identify best practices, and address persistent gaps in the scientific literature about IIS performance, benefits, and real-world utility.
The work supported under this opportunity centers on three related areas. First, sentinel sites examine vaccine use patterns among children and teens captured in their IIS, which can include coverage trends, timeliness, missed opportunities, or disparities, depending on the specific analyses the site chooses to pursue. Second, the project encourages the development and refinement of methodologies for IIS data analysis, meaning grantees are expected to build, test, and document analytic approaches that others can replicate. Third, sentinel sites evaluate IIS system functionality in order to identify best practices for IIS operations, which can translate into improvements in data quality, system processes, and infrastructure. A key theme is that improvements made locally should be scalable or adaptable, so that lessons learned can inform IIS operations in other states and cities.
Administratively, this was a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention under Funding Opportunity Number CDC-RFA-IP13-1302, within the health category. CDC anticipated making about seven awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $7,000,000. Individual awards were expected to range from $175,000 (floor) to $250,000 (ceiling). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, lowering the financial barrier for eligible public entities to participate.
Eligibility was limited to state and local governments or their bona fide agents, including the District of Columbia and certain large cities specifically referenced (such as New York City, Philadelphia, Houston, Chicago, and San Antonio), as well as U.S. territories and affiliated jurisdictions (including Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, Guam) and several freely associated states in the Pacific (the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Republic of Palau). This structure reflects the fact that IIS programs are typically run by public health agencies at the state or local level and that the project is intended to directly strengthen government-operated immunization information infrastructure.
The timeline for the original posting indicates the announcement was posted June 21, 2012, with a letter of intent due July 9, 2012, and the full application due August 21, 2012. The opportunity was later archived on September 20, 2012. For applicants needing assistance accessing the announcement, CDC listed the Procurement and Grants Office as the point of contact, reachable by phone at 770-488-2700 or by email at PGOTIM@cdc.gov.
Overall, the Sentinel Site Project can be understood as a targeted investment in a small number of IIS programs to generate high-quality evidence, practical analytic methods, and operational improvements that can raise the performance and usefulness of immunization information systems more broadly. By focusing on children and adolescents and emphasizing both data analysis and system functionality, the opportunity ties together public health surveillance, program improvement, and applied research with the goal of making IIS data more reliable, more interpretable, and more impactful for immunization programs.
Immunization Information Systems (IIS) Sentinel Site Project (CDC-RFA-IP13-1302) FAQs
What is the IIS Sentinel Site Project?
The Immunization Information Systems (IIS) Sentinel Site Project is a CDC discretionary grant opportunity designed to strengthen and expand the use of immunization registries (IIS). A central focus is helping selected sites turn IIS data into actionable public health insight that can improve immunization programs.
What is the main purpose of this grant opportunity?
The purpose is to fund a limited number of “sentinel sites†to conduct deeper IIS-based analyses, refine practical analytic methods, and evaluate IIS system functionality. The goal is to produce evidence and best practices that can be shared across the broader IIS community nationwide.
What is meant by a “sentinel site†in this program?
A sentinel site is a specific state or city operating an IIS program that is selected for funding. These sites serve as focused locations where CDC supports detailed work to generate findings and methods that can be replicated or adapted by other IIS programs.
Who is the population of interest for analyses under this project?
The project centers on vaccine use among children and adolescents ages 0 through 18 within the sentinel site’s jurisdiction, using data captured in the site’s IIS.
What types of vaccine use questions can sentinel sites study using IIS data?
Sentinel sites may examine vaccine use patterns captured in their IIS, which can include topics such as coverage trends, timeliness of vaccination, missed opportunities, or disparities. The specific analyses depend on what each site chooses to pursue within the project’s scope.
What are the main work areas supported by the project?
The work is organized around three related areas: (1) analyzing vaccine use patterns among children and teens using IIS data, (2) developing and refining methodologies for IIS data analysis that can be documented and replicated, and (3) evaluating IIS system functionality to identify best practices for IIS operations.
How does the project support improvements beyond the funded jurisdictions?
A key theme is that improvements and lessons learned locally should be scalable or adaptable. The intent is that methods, evidence, and best practices developed by sentinel sites can inform IIS operations in other states and cities.
What kinds of IIS improvements are emphasized in this opportunity?
The opportunity emphasizes making IIS data more reliable, interpretable, and impactful by supporting work on analytic approaches and IIS functionality. This can translate into improvements related to data quality, system processes, and infrastructure, as well as clearer ways to turn registry data into actionable public health insight.
