Opportunity Summary:
This CDC funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA DD15-1505) supports the creation and operation of National Public Health Practice and Resource Centers focused on improving health and well-being for children with either Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) or Tourette syndrome (TS). The overall purpose is to fund organizations that can function as national-level centers of public health practice by developing and delivering health promotion programs, along with clear, practical health communication and educational resources, for both professionals and the general public. The centers are expected to serve as trusted hubs that help people better understand these conditions and make informed choices about assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and day-to-day health and well-being.
The program is built around three required strategy areas. First, recipients must provide Information, Consultation and Referral, meaning they should be able to respond to questions, guide families and professionals toward credible resources, and connect people to appropriate services and supports. Second, recipients must develop Health Communication Programs and Materials, such as plain-language informational products, toolkits, web-based content, and other materials designed to increase understanding and reduce confusion or misinformation about ADHD or TS. Third, recipients must offer Education and Training for relevant audiences, which can include structured trainings, webinars, continuing education-style sessions, or other learning opportunities that strengthen real-world practice in healthcare and educational settings and improve support for children and families.
Although the focus is on children with ADHD or children with TS, the target audiences extend beyond the child. The centers are expected to reach healthcare professionals, education professionals, caregivers, and the broader public, recognizing that a child s outcomes are strongly influenced by the adults and systems around them. The CDC emphasizes that effective health promotion in this area requires both condition-specific information (for example, content tailored to ADHD versus TS) and broader guidance on shared challenges that often come with neurodevelopmental or tic disorders, such as navigating school supports, coordinating care, managing stress in the family, and promoting healthy routines and functioning.
The opportunity defines several long-term outcomes that applicants should be positioned to influence. These include increased access to and awareness of support services and evidence-based treatments among communities and professionals; increased knowledge among people who receive information or materials produced by the centers; increased knowledge among people who participate in education programs; and increased intention to act on what is learned, such as adopting recommended health behaviors, treatment approaches, or educational strategies. In other words, the CDC is not only looking for information dissemination, but also for efforts that can reasonably drive practical use of the information in homes, clinics, and schools.
Applications are organized into two distinct categories, and each application must focus on only one target population. Category A is for a National Public Health Practice and Resource Center for Children with ADHD, and Category B is for a National Public Health Practice and Resource Center for Children with TS. An organization may submit no more than one application, and that application must clearly align to either ADHD or TS rather than attempting to cover both within the same proposal.
From an administrative and funding standpoint, this is a discretionary award mechanism using a cooperative agreement, which typically means the CDC expects substantial involvement in the project beyond simple pass-through funding (for example, collaboration on planning, implementation, or evaluation). The program anticipated two total awards. The estimated total funding was $1,700,000, with expected individual award amounts between $800,000 (floor) and $900,000 (ceiling). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 93.312 (Child Development and Surveillance, Research and Prevention). Eligibility is listed as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to any additional clarifications in the full announcement.
Key dates included a posted date of March 8, 2015 and an application deadline of May 11, 2015, with electronic submissions due by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the closing date. The opportunity was archived on June 10, 2015. For assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed CDC contact was Sara Critchley (sxc2@cdc.gov).
