Opportunity Summary:
The National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion Conference Support Program is a CDC grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA DP10-1005) that uses FY 2010 appropriated funds to provide partial financial support for specific, non-federal conferences focused on health promotion, chronic disease prevention, information and education programs, and applied research. The program is tied to Healthy People 2010 focus areas and is meant to help organizations convene meetings where evidence, best practices, program strategies, and research findings can be shared and translated into public health action.
The eligible conference topics are limited to chronic disease and health promotion areas specifically named in the announcement: arthritis, osteoporosis, and chronic back conditions; cancer; diabetes; educational and community-based programs; heart disease and stroke; nutrition and overweight; physical activity and fitness; respiratory diseases; and tobacco use. A key restriction is that HIV-related conferences and HIV subject matter are not allowed under this announcement because they fall under a different CDC program. In practice, applicants need to ensure the conference agenda, target audience, and content clearly fit one of the allowed topic areas and avoid drifting into excluded subject matter.
The funding is structured to support either a single stand-alone conference or an annual conference series. Applicants may propose a one-year project period for conferences that are not part of a series, or propose a five-year project period when a sponsoring organization plans a recurring series of annual conferences. The announcement also allows flexibility in how the series is funded: an organization can submit separate applications each year for up to five years, or submit one application that covers five years of proposed conference activities. A “series” is defined as the same focus area (within the scope of the announcement) conducted more than once during the project period. An applicant can request support for more than one different conference during the project period, but each individual application must be centered on one topic area.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is a discretionary grant in the health activity category. CDC anticipated about 20 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,500,000. The posting date was February 5, 2010, and the application deadline was April 2, 2010, with the opportunity archived May 2, 2010. While the listing shows award ceiling and floor as $0, that typically indicates the specific award sizes are not stated in the summary field and would be detailed in the full announcement and budget guidance.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of organizations and governmental entities. Eligible applicants include nonprofits (with or without 501(c)(3) status, other than institutions of higher education), for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), small/minority/women-owned businesses, universities and other public or state-controlled institutions of higher education, community-based organizations, federally or state-recognized American Indian/Alaska Native tribal governments, and state and local governments (including U.S. territories and freely associated states named in the announcement). Non-U.S. (non-domestic) entities may also apply. The announcement also recognizes “bona fide agents” applying on behalf of a state or local government; in that case, the applicant must include documentation from the relevant government confirming bona fide agent status and submit it as an attachment through Grants.gov.
A timing constraint applies to the conference itself: only conferences planned for May 1, 2010 through September 30, 2014 are eligible under this announcement. That date window matters even if a proposed project period spans multiple years, because the supported conference activities must fall within the eligible timeframe.
For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement or navigating submission issues, CDC provided a point of contact through CDC/PGOTIM Grants at 770-488-2700 or pgotim@cdc.gov. The full announcement would be the place to confirm allowable cost categories for conference support, required application components, review criteria, and any CDC-specific terms for how “partial support” can be used (for example, meeting space, materials, travel policies, speaker support rules, and other logistical or programmatic costs).
