Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "PPHF 2012 Breast and Cervical Cancer Screening Opportunities for States, Tribes and Territories Financed solely by 2012 Prevention and Public Health Funds" (Funding Opportunity Number: CDC RFA DP12 1218PPHF12) was a CDC discretionary grant offered as a cooperative agreement in the health category. Its central goal was to expand access to breast and cervical cancer screening for women who are low income and either uninsured or underinsured. Rather than creating a brand-new program, the award was designed to build directly on the established CDC National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP), using that program's existing organized screening infrastructure to increase the number of women reached.
Programmatically, the FOA focused on delivering high-quality screening services and ensuring that women do not fall through the cracks after an initial test. In addition to paying for screening, it emphasized follow-up services, tracking systems, and patient navigation supports. In practical terms, that means helping eligible women get scheduled and screened, making sure abnormal results receive timely diagnostic follow-up, maintaining systems that track clients across the screening and follow-up process, and providing navigation assistance that reduces barriers like transportation challenges, appointment scheduling issues, communication gaps, or difficulty understanding next steps. The CDC indicated that by leveraging NBCCEDP systems already operating in jurisdictions, the additional Prevention and Public Health Fund resources could be used efficiently to screen an estimated 50,000 more women.
Eligibility was restricted rather than open to all applicants. Only recipients that were already funded under CDC RFA DP12-1205 Component 3 (NBCCEDP grantees), or a designated bona fide agent of those grantees, could apply. This limitation reflects the underlying strategy of the FOA: expand capacity where the NBCCEDP framework, provider networks, data systems, and quality assurance processes already exist, instead of funding new entities that would need to build those systems from scratch.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was posted and created on June 18, 2012, and it closed on July 18, 2012, with an archive date of August 17, 2012. The estimated total funding amount was $10,000,000, with individual awards ranging from a floor of $15,000 to a ceiling of $700,000. The CDC anticipated making 67 awards, and the program was listed under CFDA number 93.744. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award. For access issues or general submission questions, applicants were directed to the CDC Procurement and Grants Office, Technical Information and Management Section (TIMS), via pgotim@cdc.gov or by phone at 770-488-2700.
