Opportunity Summary:

This grant opportunity, listed as CDC RFA IP15-1502PPHF15, focused on boosting awareness and real-world use of the "Standards for Adult Immunization Practice" by building partnerships with state and local immunization programs. It was offered by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as a discretionary funding opportunity, and it used a cooperative agreement funding instrument, which typically means recipients would be expected to work closely with CDC in carrying out the project rather than operating completely independently. The program fell under a health funding activity category and was financed solely through the Prevention and Public Health Fund (PPHF) using 2015 Prevention and Public Health Funds.

The overall goal implied by the title and structure was to strengthen adult immunization efforts by helping public health agencies and their partners adopt consistent, evidence-based practices for adult vaccination. In practical terms, the Standards for Adult Immunization Practice generally emphasize routine assessment of adult vaccination status, strong provider recommendations, vaccination or referral to vaccination services, and documentation of vaccines given. By emphasizing implementation "through partnerships with state and local immunization programs," the opportunity was oriented toward coordinated, system-level improvements, such as aligning public health messaging, improving provider engagement, and strengthening the infrastructure that supports adult vaccination delivery and tracking.

Funding for the opportunity was substantial. CDC estimated a total of $10,000,000 available, with an expectation of making about 10 awards. Individual awards were projected to range from a floor of $400,000 up to a ceiling of $1,250,000. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning eligible applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award. The opportunity was also associated with CFDA number 93.733, "Capacity Building Assistance to Strengthen Public Health Immunization Infrastructure and Performance," which signals that the intended work was not only direct service delivery but also strengthening the systems and capacity that enable effective immunization programs.

Eligibility was broad within the public sector and included state governments, local governments, city or township governments, and special district governments. It also included U.S. territories and territorial governments or their bona fide agents, specifically naming jurisdictions such as the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, Guam, the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Republic of Palau. This eligibility structure indicates CDC aimed to reach a wide range of governmental public health entities that are responsible for immunization infrastructure and coordination across different healthcare settings.

Key administrative details show the opportunity was posted on June 5, 2015, with an original closing date of July 27, 2015, later updated to a current closing date of July 30, 2015. The archive date was August 26, 2015, meaning the announcement is no longer active and is preserved for recordkeeping. For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement electronically, CDC provided a point of contact through its Procurement and Grants Office (PGO), Technical Information Management Section (TIMS), located at 2960 Brandywine Road, Atlanta, GA 30341, with phone (770) 488-2700, fax (770) 488-8350, and email PGOTIM@cdc.gov.

Overall, this opportunity can be characterized as a CDC-funded, PPHF-supported cooperative agreement designed to strengthen adult vaccination practices at the systems and partnership level, with significant funding per award, no match requirement, and eligibility focused on governmental public health entities responsible for immunization program leadership and infrastructure.
