Opportunity Summary:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through its Procurement and Grants Office, released a discretionary funding opportunity titled the National Education Initiative on Human Health and the Environment (NEIHHE), listed as Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA TS09 902. This opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the CDC expects to have substantial involvement with the recipient during the project rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal interaction. The program falls under the health activity category and is associated with CFDA 93.161, the Health Program for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, signaling an emphasis on environmental exposures and public health impacts.
The main goal of the NEIHHE announcement is to support a single national-level awardee that can serve as a credible, widely connected source of public health expertise in health communication, health education, and health promotion as they relate to environmental health. In practical terms, the recipient is expected to mobilize public health professionals and use established member and partner networks to deliver environmental health education to two broad audiences: lay community audiences (the general public and community stakeholders) and health professional audiences (such as clinicians, public health practitioners, and related professionals). The intent is not just to create information, but to disseminate and reinforce it through trusted networks that already reach large numbers of people, helping improve understanding of how environmental conditions and exposures affect human health and what actions can reduce risks.
Funding for fiscal year 2009 is estimated at approximately $150,000 in total, with an award ceiling of $150,000, and the CDC anticipated making one award. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility. Key dates included a posted date of June 2, 2009, with an application closing date of July 16, 2009. The opportunity was expected to be funded around August 31, 2009, and the archive date listed was August 15, 2009, reflecting the period after which the announcement would be treated as no longer active for new applications.
Eligibility is limited to specific organizational types rather than individuals or for-profit entities. Eligible applicants include public nonprofits and private nonprofits with 501(c)(3) IRS status (excluding institutions of higher education), federally recognized or state recognized American Indian/Alaska Native tribal governments, American Indian/Alaska Native tribally designated organizations, and Alaska Native health corporations. The CDC noted that additional clarification could be found in the announcement section labeled "Additional Information on Eligibility," which typically outlines any extra constraints, documentation expectations, or definitions used to interpret the eligible categories.
Applicants needing the full program details were directed to the CDC funding announcements page. For assistance accessing the announcement electronically, the contact provided was the Technical Information Management Section (PGO TIMS) at 770-488-2700.
