Opportunity Summary:
It Takes a Village: Building State, Local, Tribal, and Territorial Partnerships for Community Preparedness and Response is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) discretionary funding opportunity offered as a cooperative agreement to support work that strengthens how communities prepare for, respond to, and recover from public health emergencies. The central aim is to improve community readiness and resilience in ways that reduce injury-related illness and death during emergencies, while also improving the speed and strength of recovery afterward. A key expectation is that the funded recipient will look across communities, states, and regions to identify major issues and lessons learned that can influence broader practice and encourage national collaboration, rather than keeping the effort isolated to one location or one type of partner.
The opportunity emphasizes practical, community-centered preparedness. Applicants are expected to improve readiness before an event by actively including community members in planning for the threats most relevant to their area, whether those threats are natural disasters, disease outbreaks, or other emergencies that strain public health systems. The work is also meant to help equip community members to take action during an emergency, which can include building partnerships, clarifying roles, strengthening coordination, and improving access to tools or resources that make it easier for communities to respond effectively. Beyond immediate response, the grant highlights recovery: applicants should provide or promote resources that help communities rebound after a crisis, supporting longer-term resilience and helping reduce the lasting impacts that emergencies can have on health and safety.
Administratively, this grant was posted on May 9, 2013, under Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA CE13 1308, with an application deadline of June 18, 2013 at 11:59 p.m. U.S. Eastern Time via Grants.gov. A letter of intent was requested but not required, with a suggested deadline of May 24, 2013. The opportunity was later archived on July 18, 2013, indicating it is no longer open for new applications.
Funding for the program was estimated at $600,000 total, with one expected award. The award amount was set at $200,000, listed as both the ceiling and the floor, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The activity category was health, and the CFDA number associated with the program was 93.136 (Injury Prevention and Control Research and State and Community Based Programs), reinforcing the program’s focus on preventing injuries and reducing harm during emergencies through community-based approaches.
Eligibility was broad and designed to encourage cross-sector participation. Eligible applicants included state and local governments and their bona fide agents (including U.S. territories and freely associated states named in the notice), political subdivisions of states (in consultation with states), federally or state recognized tribal governments, tribally designated organizations, tribal epidemiology centers, Alaska Native health corporations, and urban Indian health organizations. The CDC also opened eligibility to universities, colleges, research institutions (as long as proposed activities were considered non-research), hospitals, community-based organizations, faith-based organizations, nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in those specific categories), and for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), including small, minority-, and women-owned businesses. This wide eligibility list reflects the program’s underlying idea that preparedness and resilience require a “whole community†approach that brings together public health, emergency management, healthcare, tribal and local leadership, and trusted community organizations.
