Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Interventions for Youth and Young Adults with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (U84)" (Funding Opportunity Number RFA DD 09 006) is a discretionary health funding announcement from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Its central purpose is to support the development and testing of interventions specifically designed for youth and young adults living with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASDs). The emphasis is not just on creating program ideas, but on evaluating whether those interventions actually work, meaning applicants are expected to propose approaches that can be implemented and assessed for effectiveness in real-world or research-informed settings.
Funding is offered through a cooperative agreement mechanism (U84), which typically means the awardee will carry out the project while working closely with CDC staff, with the CDC having a more active role than it would under a standard grant. The announcement anticipates making about two awards. The estimated total funding available is $600,000, with an award ceiling of $350,000 per award; there is no stated award floor. The opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching, which can lower the barrier to entry for organizations that do not have substantial non-federal funds available to support the work.
The timeline for the opportunity is clearly defined and reflects a standard federal grant cycle. The FOA was posted on February 9, 2009, with a letter of intent deadline of March 9, 2009, and a full application deadline of April 9, 2009. The archive date is May 9, 2009, indicating the period after which the opportunity was no longer active for new submissions. Applicants interested at the time would have needed to plan quickly, especially if coordinating partnerships, research protocols, recruitment sites, or evaluation plans.
Eligibility is broad and includes a wide range of organization types, signaling that CDC was looking for strong ideas and capacity regardless of sector, as long as the applicant could credibly carry out intervention development and evaluation. Eligible applicants include public and private nonprofit organizations, for-profit organizations, small/minority/women-owned businesses, universities and colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based and faith-based organizations, and multiple forms of tribal entities and Indian health organizations (including federally or state-recognized tribal governments, tribally designated organizations, Alaska Native health corporations, urban Indian health organizations, and tribal epidemiology centers). State and local governments and their political subdivisions are also eligible, and the FOA explicitly includes U.S. territories and freely associated states in its definition of eligible governmental entities. For applicants submitting as a bona fide agent on behalf of a state or local government, the CDC required formal documentation: a letter from the state or local government confirming bona fide agent status, attached behind the first page of the application or uploaded as a PDF labeled as "Other Documents" for electronic submissions.
In practical terms, this opportunity was designed to move the field toward evidence-based supports for adolescents and young adults with FASDs, a population that often faces challenges related to learning, behavior, executive functioning, social skills, and transitions to adulthood. While the short summary in the source text does not list specific intervention models or outcome measures, the wording "develop and test the effectiveness" implies that competitive proposals would likely need a clear intervention framework, a plausible method for delivery, and a rigorous evaluation strategy to measure meaningful outcomes for participants. Because this was a cooperative agreement, proposals would also need to reflect readiness for collaboration with CDC, including responsiveness to federal reporting expectations and technical guidance.
The program sits under CFDA number 93.283 (CDC Investigations and Technical Assistance), reinforcing that the CDC viewed this as applied public health work involving investigation, implementation, and evaluation rather than purely theoretical research. For additional guidance, applicants were directed to CDC Grants Funding Opportunity Announcements, and for technical access issues related to the full announcement, the CDC Procurement and Grants Office Technical Information Management team was listed as the contact point (phone 770-488-2700).
