Opportunity Summary:

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through its Procurement and Grants Office, issued a discretionary funding opportunity called "Increasing Immunization Rates through Healthcare Provider Partnerships" (Funding Opportunity Number: CDC RFA IP09-903). The program is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning awardees should expect substantial involvement from CDC in guiding or collaborating on the work rather than operating completely independently. The overall aim is to raise immunization coverage by focusing on healthcare providers themselves, specifically by creating and carrying out innovative efforts that shift providers' knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs about immunization. In practical terms, the opportunity is centered on provider-focused education, communication, and behavior-change approaches that can influence how strongly and consistently clinicians recommend vaccines and how vaccination is prioritized in everyday clinical practice.

Funding for the initiative was projected at about $700,000 in fiscal year 2009, with an expectation of four awards. The estimated total funding listed for the opportunity is $2,100,000, and the anticipated funding start date was October 1, 2009. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, which lowers barriers for eligible organizations that may not have the ability to contribute additional dollars alongside federal support. The funding activity category is health, and the associated CFDA number is 93.185, which covers immunization research, demonstration, public information and education, and training/clinical skills improvement projects.

Eligibility was narrow and specific. Applicants had to be nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), and eligibility was further limited to national healthcare provider organizations. For this announcement, a healthcare provider organization was defined as one whose primary constituency is healthcare providers such as physicians, physician assistants, nurses, nurse practitioners, pharmacists, and medical assistants. "National" was defined operationally: the organization needed an active membership of at least 1,500 and chapters in at least 10 states. This design signals that CDC wanted applicants with established reach and infrastructure to influence provider behavior at scale across multiple states, rather than small or local groups.

The application timeline was also clearly defined. The opportunity was posted on July 20, 2009, and applications were due August 19, 2009, by 5:00 pm Eastern Time. The archive date was September 18, 2009, indicating when the listing would be removed from active posting. Applicants were directed to Grants.gov for the full announcement and detailed program requirements, and those who had trouble accessing the announcement electronically were instructed to contact PGO TIMS by phone at 770-488-2700, with a general email contact referenced but not fully specified in the source text.
