Opportunity Summary:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through its Procurement and Grants Office, issued a discretionary funding opportunity announcement titled "Maternal Vitamin D Status and Preterm Birth" (Funding Opportunity Number RFA DP 11 002). The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, meaning recipients should expect substantial federal involvement during the project period compared with a typical grant. The opportunity sits within the health funding activity category and is associated with CFDA 93.946, described as Cooperative Agreements to Support State Based Safe Motherhood and Infant Health Initiative Programs.
The main goal of the announcement is to strengthen scientific understanding of how maternal vitamin D status relates to preterm birth, with a specific emphasis on studying this relationship among racially and ethnically diverse women. In practical terms, CDC was seeking research efforts that could clarify whether and how vitamin D levels in pregnant women are associated with the risk of delivering preterm, and whether patterns differ across populations that may have different baseline vitamin D status, health risks, access to care, or other social and biological factors. The intent is not simply descriptive; it is aimed at filling key evidence gaps that could later inform public health guidance, future studies, or interventions focused on maternal and infant health outcomes.
Funding for fiscal year 2011 was projected at approximately USD 450,000 to support between 1 and 3 awards, indicating a relatively small and competitive portfolio meant to fund a limited number of targeted projects. The estimated total funding listed for the opportunity is USD 1,350,000, with an award ceiling of USD 225,000 and no stated award floor. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier for applicants that may not have additional funds to contribute.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to any clarifications that may have been included in the full announcement text under "Additional Information on Eligibility." Applicants were required to submit through Grants.gov, and an application counted as on-time only if it was successfully submitted and validated by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the closing date. The opportunity was posted and created on November 29, 2010, with an original and current closing date of February 14, 2011. It was scheduled to be archived on March 16, 2011, and the estimated award/funding date was September 30, 2011.
For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, CDC provided support through its Procurement and Grants Office, Technical Management and Information Section (TIMS), reachable by phone at 770-488-2700. The full programmatic requirements, expectations for study design or deliverables, and any population or data requirements were housed in the complete announcement on Grants.gov.
