Opportunity Summary:
The National Center for Environmental Health/Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (NCEH/ATSDR) Public Health Conference Support Program (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA EH13-1306) was a CDC discretionary funding opportunity designed to provide partial financial support for specific, non-federal conferences focused on environmental public health. Structurally, the award mechanism was a cooperative agreement, which typically means CDC expected to have some level of involvement in the supported activity (for example, coordination, technical input, or alignment with public health priorities), rather than simply issuing a no-strings grant. The overall purpose was straightforward: help offset conference-related costs so that meetings advancing environmental public health topics could take place or be strengthened, without CDC fully funding the entire event.
In terms of scale, CDC anticipated making about 8 awards under this program, with an estimated total funding amount of $200,000. Individual awards could be as high as $100,000 (the award ceiling), and the award floor was listed as $0, signaling flexibility in award sizing depending on the proposal, available funds, and programmatic fit. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to commit their own funds as a condition of eligibility, although conferences often combine multiple funding sources in practice. The funding activity category was listed as Health, and the CFDA number associated with this opportunity was 93.161, tied to the Health Program for the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry.
Eligibility was broad and included many common conference-hosting or conference-supporting entities. Eligible applicants included public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, state governments, special district governments, small businesses, and a range of nonprofit organizations (both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3), as long as they were not institutions of higher education where excluded by category wording). Native American tribal governments (federally recognized) and other Native American tribal organizations (not federally recognized) were also listed as eligible, reflecting an intent to include tribal partners and organizations working on environmental health issues affecting tribal communities. The federal awarding agency was the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The timeline shows this was a time-limited, archived opportunity. It was posted and created on March 25, 2013, with an original and current closing date of May 2, 2013, and an archive date of June 1, 2013. In other words, it is not an open program today in the form presented here, but it provides a clear example of CDC support for convenings that build capacity, share research and practice-based lessons, and strengthen collaboration in environmental public health.
For applicants at the time, the key practical takeaway was that CDC was offering partial conference support rather than fully underwriting events, so proposals likely needed to clearly justify the public health value of the conference, specify how CDC funds would be used, and show how the meeting would advance environmental public health goals consistent with NCEH/ATSDR priorities. The notice also included a technical support contact for accessing the full announcement: CDC’s Procurement and Grants Office (PGO), Technical Information Management Section (TIMS), reachable by phone at 770-488-2700 or by email at pgotim@cdc.gov. The posting noted that the additional information link in the listing was not active and that applicants needed to use the full announcement link on the page to access complete details.
