Opportunity Summary:

The National Public Health Practice and Resource Centers for Children with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder or Tourette Syndrome is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) grant opportunity under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The opportunity is presented as a continuation funding announcement, meaning it is intended to support ongoing work rather than launch an entirely new, open competition. The focus is on strengthening national-level public health practice and resource capacity related to two childhood neurodevelopmental conditions: Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Tourette Syndrome (TS). In practical terms, the opportunity is aimed at maintaining or enhancing centers that can translate evidence into real-world tools, guidance, and support that improve identification, management, and community or systems-level responses for children affected by ADHD or TS.

The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which signals that CDC expects to have substantial involvement in the funded activities beyond simply issuing funds and receiving reports. Cooperative agreements typically involve close collaboration with CDC staff on planning, implementation, technical assistance, and performance monitoring. The funding activity category is health, and the CFDA number associated with this opportunity is 93.312, which ties it to CDC program authorities and budgeting lines used for federal assistance tracking and oversight. Because it is a continuation opportunity, it is often structured to extend previously supported centers or initiatives that have demonstrated the ability to deliver specific products, services, or infrastructure aligned with CDC priorities.

Eligibility is not broadly defined in the summary text provided. Instead, it lists eligible applicants as "Others" with a note to consult an additional eligibility section for clarification. In federal funding announcements, "Others" can include a range of entities such as nonprofit organizations, institutions of higher education, professional associations, and similar organizations that can operate at a national scope. The lack of detail in the provided excerpt suggests that the full announcement would specify exactly who can apply, and in a continuation context it may effectively be limited to current awardees or a narrow set of eligible organizations.

Several administrative details are clear from the listing. The funding opportunity title and number are National Public Health Practice and Resource Centers for Children with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder or Tourette Syndrome and CDC RFA DD15 150502CONT16, respectively. The announcement was created and posted on February 26, 2016, and the closing date is May 2, 2016 (with the original and current closing dates matching, indicating no deadline extension in the listing). The expected number of awards is not stated in the provided data, and the award ceiling is listed as 0, which commonly means the ceiling amount was not specified in the summary record or depends on appropriations, continuation funding levels, or negotiated budgets in the full announcement. As a result, the specific scale of funding per awardee cannot be inferred from this excerpt alone.

Programmatically, the opportunity centers on national public health practice and resource development rather than direct clinical care. The phrasing "Practice and Resource Centers" typically implies functions like developing and disseminating evidence-based educational materials, training modules, toolkits for providers and families, public health guidance, and potentially technical assistance for states, school systems, or community organizations. It also often implies convening stakeholders, supporting awareness and best practices, and improving the consistency and reach of public health approaches to ADHD and TS. Since the award is housed at CDC, the expected emphasis would be on population health impact, dissemination, and implementation support that can be used broadly across jurisdictions rather than only within a single local service area.

In short, this CDC continuation cooperative agreement opportunity supports national resource centers focused on improving public health practice related to children with ADHD or Tourette Syndrome, using a CDC-collaborative funding model, with eligibility and funding specifics requiring reference to the full announcement text beyond the excerpt provided.
