Opportunity Summary:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) offered this discretionary grant opportunity, titled National Programs to Improve the Health and Educational Outcomes of Young People (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA DP11 1101), to support national-level efforts that strengthen child and adolescent health through school and community environments. The program is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means funded recipients are expected to work closely with CDC through ongoing collaboration, technical input, and shared implementation responsibilities rather than operating entirely independently. The overall goal is to help schools and communities build a lasting culture of wellness where healthy behaviors are normalized and the healthier option is the easiest option for students to choose.
For fiscal year 2011, CDC anticipated making about 25 awards from an estimated total funding pool of approximately $6,000,000. Individual award amounts were expected to fall between $150,000 (floor) and $350,000 (ceiling), and the opportunity did not require cost sharing or matching funds. The funding is associated with CFDA number 93.938, which covers cooperative agreements that support comprehensive school health programs, including efforts aimed at preventing the spread of HIV and addressing other significant health issues affecting young people.
Eligibility was focused on nongovernmental organizations with nonprofit IRS status. The solicitation limited applicants to public and private nonprofit organizations that serve or work closely with education and youth-serving systems, including education organizations, state and local education and/or health agencies, institutions of higher education, juvenile justice and correctional centers, alternative schools, and shelters serving homeless and runaway youth. In addition, for certain specified components (noted as Priority Area 2, including 2A, 2B, and 2C), eligibility also extended to nonprofits serving youth at high risk for HIV, sexually transmitted diseases, and teen pregnancy. This eligibility framing signals an emphasis on organizations positioned to influence school policies, educational settings, and youth support services, especially for populations facing elevated health risks.
The timeline shows the opportunity was posted on January 18, 2011, with records indicating a creation date of February 9, 2011. The original closing date was March 21, 2011, but the closing date was updated to March 4, 2011, suggesting applicants needed to plan for the earlier deadline. The archive date was April 20, 2011, meaning the announcement was subsequently moved out of active status after the application window closed.
Applicants needing help accessing the full announcement were directed to contact the CDC Procurement and Grants Office, Technical Information and Management Section (TIMS), via phone at 770-488-2700. This points to the standard federal grants process where the synopsis summarizes the opportunity, while detailed requirements, priority areas, deliverables, evaluation expectations, and application instructions would be contained in the full announcement.
