Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), Emerging Infections Programs (EIP), Enhancing Epidemiology and Laboratory Capacity" is a CDC cooperative agreement designed to strengthen public health surveillance infrastructure at the state and local level. Its central aim is to build on the existing Emerging Infections Program (EIP) network by improving both epidemiology and laboratory capacity, so participating health departments can detect, track, and respond to emerging infectious disease threats more effectively. This opportunity sits within the Affordable Care Act investments intended to expand the underlying systems that support public health monitoring, including data collection and health information systems, with a particular focus on making surveillance more timely, complete, and actionable for outbreak response and disease prevention.
This funding announcement is identified as CDC RFA CI10-00302PPHF11 and uses a cooperative agreement mechanism, meaning CDC is expected to have substantial involvement beyond simply issuing funds. In practice, this typically involves close collaboration with awardees on priorities, performance expectations, methods, and reporting, which fits the EIP model where states and CDC coordinate standardized surveillance and laboratory activities across multiple sites. The funding activity category is Health, and it is linked to CFDA 93.521, described as "The Affordable Care Act Building Epidemiology, Laboratory, and Health Information Systems Capacity in the Epidemiology." The CDC anticipated making about 10 awards under this continuation cycle.
A key feature of this particular announcement is that it is not an open competition for new applicants. It is specifically described as second budget period continuation funding for awards that were initiated in 2010 under FOA CI10-003. Because of that, eligibility is limited to existing grantees (or their bona fide agents) already funded under that earlier EIP ACA award. The eligible jurisdictions named in the announcement are the health departments of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Maryland, Minnesota, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, and Tennessee. In other words, the purpose here is to continue and reinforce ongoing work rather than bring new states into the program during this cycle.
From a funding standpoint, the announcement lists an award ceiling of $1,000,000 and an award floor of $0, with no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The ceiling provides a sense of the maximum funding CDC expected to provide per award, although actual award amounts in cooperative agreements can vary based on approved work plans, available appropriations, and programmatic needs. The posting and creation date were March 18, 2011, and the application closing deadline was May 2, 2011 at 5:00 PM Eastern Time. The archive date is June 1, 2011, indicating the opportunity is no longer active and is retained for historical reference.
The program description emphasizes enhancing surveillance infrastructure through improved epidemiology and laboratory capacity within the EIP network. In practical terms, that generally means supporting activities like expanding the ability to identify and characterize pathogens, improving specimen testing capacity and quality, increasing the speed and completeness of case reporting, strengthening analytic capabilities to interpret surveillance findings, and improving the integration of laboratory and epidemiologic data so public health officials can make faster, evidence-based decisions. Because EIP sites often serve as sentinel locations for in-depth, population-based surveillance, investing in these sites can improve national situational awareness and support CDC in refining prevention strategies, evaluating interventions, and monitoring trends in disease incidence and severity.
For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, the contact listed is the CDC Procurement and Grants Office (PGO), Technical Information and Management Section (TIMS), reachable by phone at 770-488-2700 for general submission inquiries.
