Instructions for Preparing a Directed Source Award Application | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled "Instructions for Preparing a Directed Source Award Application" (Funding Opportunity Number: CDC RFA DD 10 1015E) is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cooperative agreement tied to a Fiscal Year 2010 federal appropriation that specifically directs CDC to fund a particular recipient or set of recipients. In practical terms, this is an earmark-style opportunity rather than an open competition. The program’s public health purpose is broad but clearly centered on promoting health and preventing disease, with a strong emphasis on disability-related health equity and prevention of secondary conditions. It aligns with the Healthy People 2010 framework, particularly the focus area of Disability and Secondary Conditions, and it also touches on wider population health goals such as improving the health and well-being of women, infants, children, and families through stronger education and community-based prevention programming.

The underlying program goals are framed around reducing disparities between people with and without disabilities across the United States, while simultaneously improving the quality, availability, and effectiveness of interventions that prevent disease and improve overall health and quality of life. The language signals an intent to support practical, community-connected efforts, including educational initiatives and community-based programs that can demonstrate public health benefit. Although the notice references Healthy People 2010 (with the website listed as www.healthypeople.gov for additional context), the funding itself is channeled through CDC’s disabilities prevention portfolio (CFDA Number: 93.184, Disabilities Prevention), indicating that the work is expected to connect to disability prevention, health promotion for people with disabilities, and reduction of preventable secondary conditions that often accompany disability.

Administratively, the award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which usually means CDC anticipates having substantial involvement in the project compared with a typical grant. This can include collaboration on program direction, technical assistance, performance monitoring, and other forms of federal engagement during the project period, depending on the specific terms and conditions. The opportunity is categorized under “Earmark” and lists an expected number of awards of 1, reinforcing that this is not designed for broad applicant pools. The total estimated funding is $180,000, and the posting and application window reflects a short, defined federal cycle: posted May 25, 2010; closing June 25, 2010; archived July 25, 2010. The notice lists award ceiling and floor as 0, which is a common artifact in some federal listings when amounts are controlled through directive language rather than a standard competitive range, but it also explicitly states that appropriations direct CDC to award funds not to exceed specified amounts.

Eligibility is highly restricted. The announcement states that assistance will be provided only to the organizations, state and local governments, health agencies, or their bona fide agents that are specifically listed in the full announcement, and that no other applications are solicited. That limitation is the central defining feature of a directed source award: only the named entities are expected to apply and be considered, and the application instructions are primarily meant to guide those entities through submitting the required materials in a compliant format rather than inviting new applicants to compete. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.

For applicants who are part of the directed source list and need help accessing the full announcement or navigating submission requirements, the CDC Procurement and Grants Office is the point of contact. The notice provides a phone number (770-488-2700) and an email (pgotim@cdc.gov) for support.
