Opportunity Summary:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through its Procurement and Grants Office, released a discretionary grant funding opportunity titled "Libby, Montana Amphibole Epidemiology Research Program (R01)" (Funding Opportunity Number RFA-TS-09-001). This announcement focuses on public health research related to asbestos exposure in Libby, Montana, specifically exposure to amphibole asbestos associated with serious respiratory and other health outcomes. The overall goal of the program is to assess and evaluate how asbestos-related diseases progress over time and to better understand the health effects experienced by the local Libby population.
Funding is intended to support epidemiologic research that tracks and analyzes disease burden and progression in affected residents, helping clarify patterns of illness, risk factors, and long-term outcomes in this community. The grant uses the R01 research project mechanism, signaling support for a structured, investigator-driven research plan that can generate rigorous evidence relevant to toxic substance exposure and disease surveillance. The opportunity is aligned with the Health Program for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (CFDA 93.161), reflecting an emphasis on understanding and addressing health impacts tied to hazardous environmental exposures.
CDC anticipated making one award, with approximately $965,000 available in fiscal year 2009. The estimated total funding and the award ceiling were both listed as $965,000, indicating the program expected a single project at roughly that total level of support. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligible applicants were limited to governmental and public-sector organizations and related entities, including state governments; county governments; city or township governments; special district governments; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; Native American tribal organizations other than federally recognized tribal governments; and public and state-controlled institutions of higher education. This eligibility structure suggests CDC intended the work to be led by entities with public missions and/or established capacity for population health research and community-level public health response.
Key dates included a posted and creation date of January 16, 2009, with a letter of intent deadline of February 17, 2009. The application closing date was March 16, 2009, and the archive date was April 15, 2009. CDC listed an estimated funding date of August 31, 2009, which is when the agency expected to finalize and issue the award.
Applicants were directed to consult the full announcement on the CDC funding opportunities page for complete requirements, application instructions, and detailed program expectations. For help accessing the announcement electronically, CDC provided a contact point through PGOTIMS (Technical Information Management Section) at 770-488-2700.
