Opportunity Summary:

Pilot Interventions to Promote the Health of People with Blood Disorders (Funding Opportunity Number RFA DD 14 003) was a discretionary grant opportunity from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) under the Blood Disorder Program Prevention, Surveillance, and Research CFDA 93.080. The goal of the funding was to reduce complications tied to blood disorders by supporting the development and early testing of new, promising, and potentially evidence-based interventions. In practical terms, this announcement focused on pilot-level work: building, refining, and demonstrating the feasibility of interventions that could improve health outcomes for people living with blood disorders, with an emphasis on approaches that could later be strengthened with more rigorous evidence.

The opportunity was structured as a grant (Funding Instrument Type: Grant) within the broad health activity category. CDC anticipated making two awards in total, with an estimated total program funding level of $600,000. Individual awards were expected to fall between $75,000 (award floor) and $150,000 (award ceiling). There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award.

The timeline shows the announcement was posted on December 20, 2013 (creation date February 26, 2014) with an original application deadline of February 20, 2014, and a letter of intent due January 21, 2014. The due dates were later extended: the updated letter of intent deadline was February 6, 2014, and the updated application deadline was March 11, 2014. Applications were required to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov and then validated through eRA Commons, with a strong emphasis on on-time, error-free submission. Specifically, applications had to be submitted and successfully validated no later than 5:00 PM U.S. Eastern Time, and they also needed to be available to CDC for processing in eRA Commons by 11:59 PM U.S. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity was archived on March 22, 2014.

Eligibility was broad across U.S.-based organizations, reflecting CDCs intent to attract a range of applicants capable of developing and piloting interventions. Eligible applicants included public and private institutions of higher education (and CDC explicitly encouraged applications from Hispanic-serving institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities, and Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions). Eligibility also extended to nonprofits other than institutions of higher education, for-profit organizations (including small businesses), and multiple levels of government such as state, county, city or township, special district, and tribal governments (both federally recognized and other than federally recognized). Additional eligible entities included U.S. territories or possessions, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, Native American tribal organizations that are not federally recognized tribal governments, faith-based or community-based organizations, and regional organizations. The announcement also allowed applications from bona fide agents applying on behalf of a state or local government, but required a legal, binding agreement documenting that status to be attached in the application package.

At the same time, the FOA placed clear limits on foreign involvement. Foreign organizations were not eligible to apply, foreign components of U.S. organizations were not eligible, and applicants were not permitted to include collaborators or consultants from foreign institutions for this announcement. The FOA noted that all applicable federal laws and policies would apply.
