Opportunity Summary:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through its Procurement and Grants Office, released a discretionary funding opportunity titled the National Environmental Public Health Tracking Program (Funding Opportunity Number: CDC RFA EH09-907). The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the CDC expects substantial involvement with recipients during the project period (for example, ongoing collaboration, shared decision-making on technical approaches, and alignment with national program standards).
The main goal of this program is to establish and maintain a nationwide environmental public health tracking network that brings together (or "integrates") health data and environmental data in a way that can be used for practical public health action. In other words, the program is focused on building and operating systems that connect information about environmental conditions (such as air quality, water quality, or other environmental hazards) with information about health outcomes (such as asthma, certain chronic diseases, or other health indicators). The intent is not just data collection for its own sake, but turning combined datasets into clear, usable information that can guide interventions, policy decisions, and community-level actions that improve health.
A second major purpose is capacity-building: strengthening state and local public health agencies' ability to conduct environmental health surveillance. That includes improving the workforce, data systems, analytic methods, and ongoing processes needed to monitor environmental exposures and related health outcomes over time. The tracking approach is meant to help public health agencies identify trends, detect disparities between communities, understand potential links between environmental factors and health effects, and communicate findings in ways that support prevention and response.
Funding for the opportunity was estimated at approximately $4,115,000 total, with the expectation of making five awards. Individual awards were projected to range from an award floor of $1,150,000 to an award ceiling of $1,650,000. The opportunity did not require cost sharing or matching funds, which can reduce barriers for eligible governmental applicants by allowing them to propose full program budgets without needing to secure non-federal match dollars.
Eligible applicants were governmental and quasi-governmental entities that are positioned to manage population-level surveillance work, including state governments, county governments, and city or township governments, as well as special district governments. Tribal governments and tribal organizations were also eligible, including federally recognized Native American tribal governments and other tribal organizations. This eligibility design fits the program's public health surveillance mission, since these entities typically hold or can access relevant public health and environmental datasets and can implement interventions at the community or jurisdiction level.
Key timeline information included an original posted date of May 28, 2009, an original closing date of June 29, 2009, and an estimated funding date of August 31, 2009. The record also shows later administrative dates (creation date August 8, 2012; a current closing date of August 23, 2012; and an archive date of August 24, 2012), which commonly reflects grants.gov system updates or reposting/archiving actions rather than changing the original program intent described in 2009.
For applicants or interested parties who could not access the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was the Technical Information Management Section (PGO/TIMS) at 770-488-2700. The complete program requirements, application instructions, and detailed expectations were indicated as available through the CDC posting on grants.gov.
