Opportunity Summary:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through its Procurement and Grants Office, released a discretionary funding opportunity (RFA DD 11 007) titled "Pilot Longitudinal Data Collection to inform Public Health - Fragile X Syndrome." The announcement is focused on building stronger public health knowledge about fragile X syndrome by supporting a coordinated, consortium-style effort rather than isolated, single-site work. The overall idea is to collect information over time from people receiving care at fragile X clinical centers and to organize that information in a way that can be analyzed for meaningful public health insights.
The program is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means CDC expects to have substantial involvement in the work beyond simply issuing funds. While the provided summary does not list detailed program requirements, the main objectives are clearly stated: (1) conduct longitudinal data collection at fragile X clinical centers, and (2) maintain a centralized data management and analysis center. In practical terms, this points to creating or strengthening a network of participating clinical sites that gather standardized data from patients at multiple points in time, paired with a central hub responsible for receiving, cleaning, storing, managing, and analyzing those data. This kind of structure is commonly used when the goal is to create comparable datasets across sites and ensure that the resulting information can inform surveillance-like public health understanding, clinical patterns, service needs, and longer-term outcomes.
Funding was planned at approximately $550,000 for fiscal year 2011, with CDC expecting to make one award. The award ceiling is listed as $550,000 and the award floor is $0, indicating the maximum anticipated amount for the single project while leaving flexibility depending on the final award decision. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 93.283 (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention - Investigations and Technical Assistance). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement noted, which reduces the financial burden on the recipient and can broaden the pool of feasible applicants.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that may appear in the full announcement. Applications were required to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov and validated through eRA Commons, with an emphasis on error-free submission by the deadline. The original closing date was January 18, 2011, and the updated closing date was February 18, 2011, both with a firm 5:00 PM Eastern Time cutoff and no extra error-correction window after submission. The opportunity was posted November 18, 2010, with an estimated funding date of August 31, 2011, and an archive date of March 17, 2011.
Applicants needing help accessing the full announcement were directed to contact the CDC Procurement and Grants Office Technical Information and Management Section (TIMS) at 770-488-2700. For full program details, required application components, and any specific consortium, data standards, human subjects, or reporting expectations, CDC directed applicants to the complete posting on Grants.gov.
