Opportunity Summary:
The Laboratory Technical Implementation Assistance for Public Health Cooperative Agreement Program is a CDC funding opportunity designed to strengthen how public health laboratories exchange lab information electronically with hospitals, clinics, and public health agencies. The main goal is to help public health labs and health departments improve their ability to send and receive laboratory test orders and results in electronic form so they can better support "meaningful use" efforts tied to electronic health records (EHRs). In practical terms, the program focuses on building the technical and operational capacity needed for smoother, standards-based sharing of lab data across clinical care and public health systems, which supports faster reporting, better surveillance, and more coordinated public health response.
This opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning CDC expects to have substantial involvement with the awardees rather than acting only as a funder. The program would establish Laboratory Technical Implementation Assistance for Public Health (LTIAPH), an initiative intended to help state, territorial, and large local public health laboratories along with state and local health departments. The assistance is aimed at upgrading or enhancing Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) and other essential information technology infrastructure so these systems can interoperate with clinical systems (especially EHRs) and with other public health partners. The emphasis is on interoperability and the end-to-end ability to exchange electronic laboratory data reliably, not just isolated software upgrades.
The total estimated funding for the opportunity is $2,000,000, with an award ceiling listed as $2,000,000 and an award floor of $0, and CDC anticipated making 2 awards. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated. The opportunity was posted March 5, 2010, created March 15, 2010, and had an application deadline of April 2, 2010, with an archive date of May 2, 2010. The funding opportunity number is CDC RFA HK10 1001ARRA10, and the activity category is Health under a discretionary opportunity.
Eligibility is broad and includes a wide range of organizational types, such as nonprofit organizations (with or without 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education in those specific categories), for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), small/minority/women-owned businesses, universities and colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based and faith-based organizations, tribal governments and tribal organizations (including Alaska Native health corporations, Urban Indian health organizations, tribal epidemiology centers), and state and local governments. The eligibility section also highlights that state and local governments may apply directly or through bona fide agents. If applying as a bona fide agent, the applicant must provide a letter from the relevant state or local government documenting that status, submitted with the other attachment forms through Grants.gov.
