Opportunity Summary:
The CDC funding opportunity titled "Increasing IIS Sentinel Site Capacity for Enhanced Program Support" (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA IP14 1407) is a discretionary cooperative agreement aimed at strengthening Immunization Information Systems (IIS) Sentinel Sites so they can better support modern immunization program demands. The central goal is to help IIS programs keep vaccination coverage high, respond more effectively to outbreaks of vaccine preventable diseases (VPDs), and improve the ability to track and evaluate the impact of VPD prevention efforts. The opportunity reflects the growing expectation that IIS platforms do more than store immunization records; they are increasingly relied on as core public health infrastructure for real-time decision-making, program operations, and emergency response.
A major emphasis of the announcement is on expanding IIS Sentinel Site capacity in two priority areas that were receiving heightened attention at the time: pandemic response readiness and Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) prevention. For pandemic response, the intent is to ensure Sentinel Sites can support rapid, large-scale immunization activities, including the ability to manage surges in vaccination volume, improve situational awareness, and help public health agencies coordinate provider participation and reporting during emergencies. For HPV prevention, the grant highlights the need for IIS enhancements that support initiatives to improve HPV vaccination uptake and to better connect immunization activities with longer-term outcomes relevant to HPV-related cancers.
The funding is specifically restricted to activities that advance this Sentinel Site capacity-building initiative. In other words, award funds must be used to implement enhancements that enable IIS Sentinel Sites to provide stronger program support tied to outbreak response, monitoring of prevention efforts, pandemic-related vaccination needs, and HPV-related initiatives. In addition, for HPV prevention work, the announcement recommends sharing funds with the state Cancer Registry or other databases that track HPV-related outcomes. The purpose of that recommendation is to improve alignment between immunization data and outcome-focused systems so that states can better evaluate HPV prevention efforts and support data-driven cancer prevention strategies.
Administratively, this opportunity was issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention under CFDA 93.268 (Immunization Cooperative Agreements). The CDC anticipated making 6 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $5.4 million. Individual awards were expected to fall between $200,000 (award floor) and $300,000 (award ceiling), and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement. Eligible applicants were government organizations, specifically states (including the District of Columbia) or their bona fide agents, and local governments or their bona fide agents. The opportunity was posted on June 4, 2014, and applications were due July 21, 2014 by 11:59 p.m. U.S. Eastern time via Grants.gov. No letter of intent was required.
