Opportunity Summary:
The CDC funding opportunity titled "National Public Health Surveillance for Chemical and Radiologic Exposures" (Funding Opportunity Number: CDC RFA EH15-1506) is a discretionary cooperative agreement under CFDA 93.070, Environmental Public Health and Emergency Response. It is designed to strengthen national public health surveillance by leveraging near-real-time poison exposure information. The CDC states it intends to make a sole source award to the American Association of Poison Control Centers (AAPCC) in Washington, DC, meaning the competition is limited to that single organization based on the program design and eligibility restrictions described in the notice.
The core purpose of the award is to ensure CDC can regularly receive, review, and use national chemical and poison exposure data to improve surveillance and response capabilities. The opportunity focuses on three practical public health outcomes: first, improving ongoing surveillance for chemical and poison exposures and related illnesses; second, identifying early indicators or "early markers" that could signal emerging chemical events so public health agencies can respond quickly and appropriately; and third, supporting case-finding and situational awareness during a known or unfolding incident, helping CDC and partners understand what is happening, where, and how severe it may be. The work aligns with the CDC National Center for Environmental Health (NCEH), specifically the Environmental Health and Exposure/Health Studies and the Health Studies Branch (NCEH/EHHE/HSB), which conducts regional (multi-state) and national surveillance for chemical exposures and provides situational awareness to inform response actions.
Structurally, this opportunity uses a cooperative agreement mechanism, which typically indicates substantial federal involvement beyond a standard grant. In practice, that usually means CDC expects active collaboration, technical engagement, and coordination with the awardee to ensure the surveillance data are integrated into broader CDC surveillance and emergency response workflows, and that findings can be communicated and acted upon quickly during potential chemical or radiologic incidents.
This particular notice also functions as an amendment to an earlier announcement. CDC indicates the purpose is to provide additional information and revise selected sections of the original FOA. The changes include adjustments to the total project period funding (Part 1 G.d.), revisions to the average annual amount (Part G.e.), an update to the estimated award date (Part 1 G.g.), and clarification of collaboration language (A.2.111.1.). CDC notes that a detailed list of the revisions is summarized on page 31 of the amended document, which is important for interpreting the final budget expectations, timing, and partnership requirements.
Key administrative details include an expected single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $1,500,000. The stated award ceiling is $1,500,000 and the floor is $1,000,000, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The posting date was March 25, 2015, with a creation date of April 8, 2015. The application due date (original and current closing date) is May 29, 2015, with electronic submissions due by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time. The archive date is June 28, 2015, indicating when the opportunity was formally archived in the system. For access issues or questions related to the announcement, the contact listed is Adrianne Holmes at aoh8@cdc.gov.
Overall, the opportunity is aimed at supporting a national-level capability to detect, interpret, and respond to chemical and poison exposure trends using poison control center data. By formalizing CDC access to and use of these data, the program is intended to help identify unusual patterns early, support rapid public health decision-making during incidents, and improve national situational awareness for chemical and radiologic exposure threats.
