Opportunity Summary:
The Population-based Diabetes in Youth Registry funding opportunity (RFA DP 15-002) is a CDC cooperative agreement designed to continue and strengthen national surveillance of diabetes among U.S. youth. The core purpose is to maintain a population-based registry network that can reliably track how often diabetes occurs (incidence), how common it is (prevalence), and how these measures change over time (temporal trends) in young people up to age 20. A central emphasis is ensuring the surveillance reflects racial and ethnic diversity, a range of socioeconomic circumstances, and different geographic settings, so that differences in diabetes burden and trends across communities can be measured and reported with credibility. The registry data are expected to be stratified and analyzed by age, sex, race/ethnicity, and diabetes type, supporting a clearer national picture of youth diabetes patterns rather than isolated, single-site snapshots.
The FOA is structured in two connected components. Component A supports a five-year surveillance network made up of multiple diabetes registries operating in diverse populations. Applicants under Component A are expected to generate population-based estimates and trend data, meaning they must use methods that allow findings to represent the underlying youth population in their defined catchment areas rather than only clinic-based or convenience samples. The practical output from this component is a continuous stream of standardized, comparable registry information that can be used to detect changes in youth diabetes rates over time and to examine disparities by demographic and diabetes-type categories.
Component B funds a Coordinating Center (CC) that serves as the operational and scientific backbone for the entire registry network. The CC is expected to provide expertise and hands-on capacity in population-based surveillance methods, training and technical support to registry sites, data management infrastructure, quality control procedures, and analytic support. In practice, this role exists to keep the network aligned on common definitions, measurement approaches, and reporting standards so that data from different regions and populations can be combined or compared without introducing avoidable inconsistencies. The CC function also reinforces rigor in areas such as data cleaning, validation, and standardized analyses, which is essential for credible trend reporting.
Administratively, this is a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement mechanism, signaling that CDC anticipates substantial involvement in the work beyond a typical grant. The program falls under CFDA 93.945 (Assistance Programs for Chronic Disease Prevention and Control). CDC anticipated making about six awards under this FOA, with an estimated total funding level of $12.5 million. Individual awards were expected to fall between $280,000 (floor) and $380,000 (ceiling). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement.
Eligibility was highly restricted. Only a specific set of organizations could apply: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill; Children’s Hospital Medical Center in Cincinnati; University of Colorado Denver/Colorado School of Public Health; Kaiser Permanente Southern California; University of Washington School of Medicine/Children’s Hospital Regional Medical Center in Seattle; and Wake Forest University School of Medicine. The rationale given is that eligibility was limited to entities that had developed and maintained the SEARCH Registry for roughly 15 years and therefore held institutional knowledge about steering committee decisions and the measurement and analytic methods considered essential for consistent registry operations and trend reporting. Applications that were incomplete or did not meet these special eligibility requirements would not proceed to review, and only the named eligible applicants could apply.
Key dates in the announcement included a posted date of January 16, 2015, a letter of intent due February 27, 2015, and an application deadline of March 31, 2015 by 5:00 pm Eastern, with the archive date of April 30, 2015. The funding opportunity was administered by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. For access issues with the full announcement, the contact point listed was the Technical Information Management Section within the HHS CDC Procurement and Grants Office (pgotim@cdc.gov).

What is the main purpose of this funding opportunity?
The core purpose is to support a population-based diabetes registry network that produces reliable, standardized surveillance data on youth diabetes incidence, prevalence, and trends over time. The registry is meant to provide credible information across diverse communities, not just isolated findings from a single clinic or one location.
Who is the sponsoring agency for this opportunity?
The funding opportunity is administered by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
What type of funding mechanism is used?
This opportunity uses a cooperative agreement mechanism. That indicates CDC anticipates substantial involvement in the work beyond what is typical for a standard grant.
Is this a discretionary funding opportunity?

What CFDA number is associated with this program?
The program is listed under CFDA 93.945 (Assistance Programs for Chronic Disease Prevention and Control).
What population is covered by the surveillance work?
The surveillance is focused on U.S. youth up to age 20.
What measures are expected to be tracked by the registry network?
The registry network is expected to track incidence, prevalence, and temporal trends in diabetes among youth.
Why is a population-based approach emphasized?
The FOA emphasizes population-based methods so that estimates and trend data represent the underlying youth population in defined catchment areas. This contrasts with clinic-based or convenience samples, which may not represent the broader community.
How does the FOA address differences across communities?
A central emphasis is ensuring surveillance reflects racial and ethnic diversity, a range of socioeconomic circumstances, and different geographic settings. This is intended to support credible measurement and reporting of differences in diabetes burden and trends across communities.
What types of subgroup analyses are expected from the registry data?
The registry data are expected to be stratified and analyzed by age, sex, race/ethnicity, and diabetes type.
How is the FOA structured?
The FOA is structured into two connected components: Component A (the multi-site surveillance network of registries) and Component B (a Coordinating Center that supports and aligns the network).
What is Component A?
Component A supports a five-year surveillance network made up of multiple diabetes registries operating in diverse populations. The expectation is that these registries will generate population-based estimates and trend data.
What are the expected outputs from Component A?
The practical output is a continuous stream of standardized, comparable registry information that can be used to detect changes in youth diabetes rates over time and examine disparities by demographic and diabetes-type categories.
What is Component B?
