Opportunity Summary:
This CDC grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA PS11-1115) was designed to help spread practical, cost-effective public health strategies by partially funding non-federal conferences that focus on prevention and education. Run through the CDCs National Center for HIV, Viral Hepatitis, Sexually Transmitted Disease, and Tuberculosis Prevention, the program supports meetings that help move evidence-based approaches into real-world use, strengthen professional practice, and improve coordination across public health and partner organizations. To be considered under this announcement, a proposed conference had to be specifically centered on at least one of the following areas: HIV, viral hepatitis, sexually transmitted diseases, or tuberculosis.
The funding mechanism was a cooperative agreement, which generally means CDC expected to have an active role beyond simply issuing funds, such as collaborating on planning expectations, deliverables, or ensuring the conference content aligns with federal public health goals. The award type fell under the health activity category, with an estimated total funding pool of $750,000 and an expectation of about 11 awards. Individual awards were projected to range from $25,000 (floor) to $125,000 (ceiling). There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated, so applicants were not required to contribute a set percentage of non-federal funds, although conferences often combine multiple funding sources in practice.
Eligibility was broad and covered many types of organizations that might convene national, regional, tribal, territorial, or specialized public health audiences. Eligible applicants included public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private universities and colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based and faith-based organizations, and nonprofits both with and without 501(c)(3) status. It also included businesses (small businesses as well as for-profit organizations other than small businesses), and explicitly referenced small, minority, and women-owned businesses. Government entities were eligible as well, including state, county, city/township, and special district governments, along with political subdivisions of states (with state consultation). Tribal eligibility included federally recognized and state recognized American Indian/Alaska Native tribal governments, tribally designated organizations, Alaska Native health corporations, urban Indian health organizations, and tribal epidemiology centers. Foreign organizations were also listed as eligible. The opportunity also allowed state and local governments to apply through bona fide agents, but required a legal, binding agreement documenting that status to be attached in the application package.
The timing for this announcement was structured around two submission cycles. Letters of intent were due March 15, 2011 for Cycle A and April 12, 2011 for Cycle B. Full applications were due April 15, 2011 at 5:00 pm Eastern for Cycle A and May 13, 2011 at 5:00 pm Eastern for Cycle B, with May 13, 2011 serving as the final closing date.
