Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Multiple Approaches to Increase Awareness and Support among Young Women Diagnosed with Breast Cancer" (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA DP14-1408) is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) discretionary funding announcement that uses a cooperative agreement mechanism. In practical terms, a cooperative agreement typically means CDC expects to have substantial involvement with awardees during the project period, rather than simply providing funds and stepping back. The overall purpose of the program is to expand both the availability and reach of trustworthy health information and support services for young breast cancer survivors (YBCS) and their families by funding organizations that already serve, or can effectively reach, this population.
At the center of the announcement is a two-part strategy. First, the CDC is looking to support the development and rollout of strategic, integrated, and multi-media health education and awareness campaigns that speak directly to the real information needs of young women diagnosed with breast cancer. The emphasis is on campaigns that are not generic, but targeted to issues that are especially relevant for younger patients and survivors. The topics called out include family history and genetic risk, psychosocial health and support, reproductive health and fertility, and family support. The announcement also points to evidence-based preventive lifestyle behaviors as appropriate campaign content, such as maintaining a healthy weight, reducing tobacco use, and reducing excessive alcohol use. The underlying idea is to help young survivors and their families navigate decisions and challenges that arise during and after diagnosis with clear, actionable, evidence-based information delivered through channels that actually reach them.
Second, the opportunity seeks to strengthen and expand existing structured support services that help young breast cancer patients and survivors at multiple points in the cancer journey: initial diagnosis, active treatment, and post-treatment survivorship. The CDC highlights supports such as case management and patient navigation, along with psychosocial support services. This portion of the funding is aimed at improving the real-world systems that help people overcome barriers to care, coordinate appointments and resources, cope with emotional strain, and manage survivorship issues that can linger long after treatment ends. Rather than creating one-off, temporary programs, the language suggests a preference for enhancing organized, established service models that can be sustained and scaled.
Funding levels indicate a moderately sized national competition. The CDC expected to make 7 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $9,000,000. The award ceiling is listed as $550,000, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which generally lowers the barrier to entry for nonprofits and other community-serving entities that may not have access to significant matching funds. The award floor is shown as $0, which is often a technical listing rather than an indication of typical award size, but it signals that the ceiling is the main stated bound.
Eligibility is intentionally broad and includes both government and non-government entities, reflecting the program's focus on reaching people through multiple systems and community channels. Eligible government applicants include states and their bona fide agents (including the District of Columbia), local governments and their agents, U.S. territories and their agents (including Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, Guam, the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Republic of Palau), state-controlled institutions of higher education, federally or state recognized American Indian or Alaska Native tribal governments, and Public Housing Authorities/Indian Housing Authorities. Eligible non-government applicants include American Indian or Alaska Native tribally designated organizations, nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in those nonprofit categories), private colleges and universities, community-based organizations, faith-based organizations, for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), and small businesses. Taken together, this eligibility list makes it possible for public health agencies, hospitals and university partners, tribal entities, community nonprofits, and even private-sector organizations to compete, as long as they can demonstrate credible plans to deliver campaigns and/or support services tailored to young breast cancer survivors and their families.
Key dates show that this was a time-limited, archived opportunity from 2014. The posting and creation date was May 16, 2014, with an application deadline of July 1, 2014 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time via Grants.gov. A Letter of Intent (LOI) was requested but not required, meaning applicants could submit one to signal interest and potentially help the agency plan for review workload, but failure to submit an LOI would not disqualify an application. The CDC also scheduled informational conference calls for potential applicants on June 3, 2014 at 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m., providing a dial-in number and pass code, which indicates the agency anticipated applicant questions about program expectations, allowable activities, and the cooperative agreement relationship. The archive date was July 31, 2014, confirming it is no longer open.
Administratively, the opportunity is tied to CFDA number 93.283, associated with CDC Investigations and Technical Assistance, and it falls under the health funding activity category. Applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement were directed to contact the CDC Procurement and Grants Office (PGO), Technical Information Management Section (TIMS), by phone or email. Overall, the announcement is designed to fund organizations that can combine modern communications and community outreach with practical, structured support services so that young women facing breast cancer, along with their families, can better understand genetic and family risk issues, manage fertility and reproductive concerns, access psychosocial and navigation support, and adopt evidence-based behaviors that support long-term health and survivorship.
