Opportunity Summary:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through its Procurement and Grants Office, announced a discretionary funding opportunity called "National Sudden Unexpected Infant Death Case Registry: A Pilot Study" (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA DP09-904). The program was structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning funded states would not only receive financial support but would also be expected to work closely with CDC on implementation, technical approaches, and building consistent methods that could be expanded nationally. The overall goal was to strengthen and standardize how states collect, manage, and share information related to sudden unexpected infant deaths (SUID), with the long-term intent of using these enhanced state systems as the foundation for a future national SUID Case Registry.
Funding for the pilot was estimated at about $840,000 total, with CDC anticipating roughly seven awards (the announcement also notes an expected range of four to seven awards). Individual award amounts could be up to $130,000 per award, and there was no stated minimum award amount (award floor listed as $0). Importantly, the opportunity did not require cost sharing or matching funds, which typically lowers the barrier for participation by allowing states to focus on building capacity and improving data systems without needing to secure additional non-federal funds to meet a match requirement.
Eligibility was limited to state governments, aligning with the program's emphasis on building state-based data collection infrastructure. The opportunity was categorized under health and linked to CFDA 93.946, "Cooperative Agreements to Support State-Based Safe Motherhood and Infant Health Initiative Programs," which signals the broader public health context: improving infant health outcomes by strengthening surveillance, investigation, and prevention-oriented information systems. While the short description emphasizes system enhancement, the underlying public health value is that better, more consistent SUID data can improve understanding of circumstances and risk factors and can support more targeted prevention strategies over time.
The timeline for the solicitation was clearly defined. The announcement was posted March 11, 2009, and applications were due by May 11, 2009, no later than 5:00 PM Eastern Time. The opportunity was scheduled for archiving on June 10, 2009, and CDC listed an estimated funding date of July 30, 2009, indicating a relatively fast turnaround from closing date to anticipated awards, consistent with pilot-style initiatives that aim to begin testing and refining approaches quickly.
For applicants needing access help, the notice directed them to contact PGO TIMS by phone at 770-488-2700, with a general email also referenced. Full program details were made available through the official posting on Grants.gov, which would typically include the complete scope of work, reporting expectations, required activities, evaluation measures, and cooperative agreement terms describing how CDC planned to provide guidance or oversight during the pilot period.
