Opportunity Summary:
The Pediatric Environmental Health Specialty Unit (PEHSU) Program grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number CDC-RFA-TS09-901) is a discretionary CDC funding announcement issued through the CDC Procurement and Grants Office. It is offered as a cooperative agreement, which means the selected recipient would be expected to work closely with CDC and related federal partners during the period of performance rather than operating entirely independently. The program falls under a health activity category and is associated with CFDA 93.161, the Health Program for the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), reflecting its emphasis on public health responses to toxic substances and environmental exposures, especially as they affect children.
For fiscal year 2009, CDC planned to make a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of about $1,800,000. The award ceiling is also listed as $1,800,000, indicating the one recipient could potentially receive the full amount available. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated, so applicants would not be required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award. The projected funding date noted in the announcement is August 31, 2009, which provides a general expectation for when the award decision and funding might be finalized.
The central purpose of the PEHSU program in this announcement is to support a unit that provides pediatric-focused environmental health expertise and assistance, with a particular emphasis on helping communities facing environmental contamination issues. A key feature of this opportunity is its special focus on assisting communities where ATSDR and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are already engaged in addressing contamination concerns. In practice, this framing signals that the funded PEHSU would likely be expected to coordinate with or support ongoing federal and community efforts related to contaminated sites, exposure investigations, risk communication, and other response activities where children and other vulnerable populations may be at heightened risk.
Eligibility is limited to specific types of organizations. Eligible applicants include public nonprofits and private nonprofits that hold 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), federally recognized or state-recognized American Indian/Alaska Native tribal governments, American Indian/Alaska Native tribally designated organizations, and Alaska Native health corporations. The announcement also notes that additional eligibility clarification may be provided in the full funding announcement text, suggesting applicants should review the CDC posting carefully to confirm organizational fit and any additional constraints or requirements that might not be fully captured in the summary fields.
Key dates included in the listing show the opportunity was posted on June 1, 2009, with an application closing date of July 16, 2009 (no change between the original and current closing dates shown). The archive date is listed as August 15, 2009, indicating when the opportunity would be removed from active postings after the submission window. For applicants or interested parties who could not access the full announcement online, the notice provides a CDC contact point through the Technical Information Management Section (PGOTIM) at 770-488-2700 for assistance with obtaining the full solicitation materials and related details.
