Opportunity Summary:
The Maintenance and Enhancement of the Environmental Public Health Tracking Network grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA EH14-1403) is a CDC discretionary funding program offered through a cooperative agreement mechanism. Its central goal is to support the ongoing operation and improvement of a national system, commonly referred to as the National Tracking Network, that brings together health data and environmental data in a standardized way. By integrating these datasets and making them usable through a secure, web-based network, the program is designed to help public health agencies and their partners better understand how environmental conditions relate to health outcomes and then use that information to guide practical actions that improve community health.
A key emphasis of the opportunity is not just collecting or hosting information, but strengthening the ability of state and local public health agencies to conduct environmental health surveillance. In practice, this means building and sustaining capacity to routinely obtain, manage, standardize, analyze, and share electronic data tied to both environmental exposures or hazards and human health indicators. The broader intent is to create a consistent, reliable national approach so that data coming from different jurisdictions can be compared and combined, supporting both local decision-making and a national picture of environmental public health trends.
The National Tracking Network itself is described as a web-based, secure network that contains standardized electronic health and environmental data. The value proposition is that standardized, integrated information can be turned into accessible tracking content that supports public health action, such as identifying patterns, monitoring changes over time, recognizing populations or places at higher risk, and informing interventions or policy choices. While the notice summary is brief, the framing makes clear that the program is oriented toward actionable information, not simply data storage, and toward creating durable infrastructure rather than one-time research.
Funding was substantial at the program level, with an estimated total funding amount of $60,000,000 and an expected 24 awards. Individual awards were projected to fall between an award floor of $500,000 and an award ceiling of $900,000, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The activity category is listed as Health, and the CFDA number associated with this opportunity is 93.070 (Environmental Public Health and Emergency Response). The opportunity was posted on April 2, 2014, and closed on May 19, 2014, with an archive date of June 18, 2014, indicating it is an older, archived solicitation rather than an open, currently competing one.
Eligibility was geared toward government and government-linked entities. Eligible applicants included state governments (and their bona fide agents, including the District of Columbia), local governments (and their bona fide agents), and city or township and county governments. The notice also indicates that non-government organizations could be eligible when they are non-profits working in partnership with state health departments, which signals that CDC expected strong alignment with governmental public health authority and existing surveillance responsibilities even when a non-profit partner is involved.
Because this was a cooperative agreement, awardees typically would not only receive funding but also work in collaboration with CDC, reflecting ongoing federal involvement in shaping or supporting implementation of the Tracking Network effort. For those who needed assistance accessing the full announcement at the time, the listed point of contact was the CDC Procurement and Grants Office, Technical Information Management Section (TIMS), at 770-488-2700, and the notice included a reminder that the “additional information†link shown in the listing itself was not active unless accessed through the full announcement page.
