Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity (CDC RFA EH15-1502) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) under CFDA 93.070, Environmental Public Health and Emergency Response. It supports work connected to the National Environmental Public Health Tracking Network, with the specific intent of continuing and strengthening CDC's ongoing partnership with the National Association of Health Data Organizations (NAHDO). The program is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning CDC expects to have substantial involvement in shaping, coordinating, and collaborating on the funded activities rather than simply issuing funds with minimal federal engagement.
The central purpose is to build on NAHDO's prior Tracking-related projects that have explored and used multiple health data sources, particularly those that can help link health outcomes with environmental data. A major emphasis is on improving pathways to access existing hospital and emergency department data, since these datasets are often essential for understanding patterns of disease and injury that may be related to environmental exposures. The announcement highlights that the NAHDO-Tracking collaboration has already been an important step toward establishing access to these kinds of data, and the new award is intended to keep that momentum going.
From an outcomes perspective, the work is aimed at identifying practical and policy barriers that limit access to health data and then taking concrete steps to overcome those barriers. In plain terms, NAHDO is expected to work with CDC to figure out why certain hospital and emergency department datasets are difficult to obtain or use for public health tracking purposes, and then help improve the accessibility and usability of those data for the Tracking Network and its partners. This can involve navigating data governance issues, data use agreements, privacy and confidentiality requirements, cost and licensing obstacles, variations in state laws or hospital reporting practices, and inconsistencies in data formats and coding that make cross-jurisdiction comparisons difficult.
The total estimated funding listed for the opportunity is $375,000, with an award ceiling of $125,000 and an award floor of $0. CDC anticipated making one award, which aligns with the eligibility restriction: the announcement states that eligibility is limited to NAHDO only (with the eligibility clarification referenced in Section C, item 3 of the full FOA). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, reducing the need for the recipient to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award.
Key dates indicate the opportunity was posted and created on March 25, 2015, with an original and current closing date of May 26, 2015. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The archive date is June 25, 2015, indicating the opportunity is no longer open, but the summary still reflects how CDC framed its objectives for this partnership at the time.
Administrative details include the activity category (Health), the funding instrument type (Cooperative Agreement), and the agency contact for access issues: Susan Rezai (AQI6@cdc.gov), listed under Grants Policy. Overall, this opportunity is best understood as targeted support for NAHDO to help CDC and the Tracking Network expand and streamline access to critical healthcare utilization data, enabling more effective linkage of environmental information with health outcomes for surveillance and public health decision-making.
