Opportunity Summary:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through its Procurement and Grants Office, released a discretionary funding opportunity titled "National Infrastructure Development Initiatives Related to Oral Disease Prevention and Oral Health Promotion" (Funding Opportunity Number: CDC-RFA-DP09-908). This award is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the CDC expects to have substantial involvement with the recipient during the project period, not just provide funds and step away. The overall goal of the opportunity is to strengthen and sustain the ability of state oral health programs to prevent oral disease and promote oral health by building practical infrastructure supports that can be used across states.
In terms of what the funding is meant to accomplish, the program focuses on developing tools, resources, and training that directly support state oral health programs already funded under cooperative agreement DP08-802. The emphasis is on capacity-building and long-term sustainability, so the work is aimed at creating products and support systems that make state programs more effective and durable over time. Rather than funding direct clinical services, the opportunity is geared toward the "backbone" work that helps state programs operate well, such as standardized materials, guidance, training approaches, and other scalable resources that states can use to strengthen their oral health prevention and promotion efforts.
Funding for the announcement is approximately $750,000 total, with an expectation of one to two awards. The listed award ceiling is $150,000, and the award floor is $0, which signals flexibility in award size depending on the final applications and the CDC's funding decisions. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to provide non-federal funds to receive an award. The program is listed under CFDA 93.283 (CDC Investigations and Technical Assistance), aligning it with CDC technical assistance and public health infrastructure support activities.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), with the caveat that applicants should still review the full announcement for any additional eligibility clarifications in the text. Even though eligibility is broadly open, the purpose statement makes it clear that the funded work must be designed to serve and strengthen state oral health programs funded through DP08-802, so strong applications would typically show a clear understanding of state oral health program operations and demonstrate a credible plan to develop and deliver resources and training that those programs can realistically adopt.
Key administrative dates include a posted date of May 13, 2009, with applications due by June 29, 2009, at 5:00 PM Eastern Time. The estimated funding date is August 30, 2009. The announcement archive date is July 29, 2009, indicating when it would be moved into an archived status on the federal listing. Applicants were directed to retrieve the complete requirements and instructions through Grants.gov, using the full announcement link referenced in the listing.
For access issues or questions related to obtaining the full announcement, the CDC listed a point of contact through PGO TIMS, with a phone number (770-488-2700) and a general email referenced in the notice.
