Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, officially titled "PPHF 2012 - ELC Building and Strengthening Epidemiology, Laboratory and Health Information Systems Capacity in State and Local Health Departments" (Funding Opportunity Number CDC-RFA-CI10-101203PPHF12), is a CDC cooperative agreement funded in part through the 2012 Prevention and Public Health Funds under the Affordable Care Act. It sits in the health funding activity category and was designed specifically to support and sustain core public health infrastructure in epidemiology, laboratory capacity, and health information systems at state and local health departments. Rather than being a broadly open competition, it functions as a continuation and administrative restructuring of an existing ELC funding stream, ensuring ongoing support for jurisdictions already participating in the ELC ACA program.
The stated purpose of the announcement is primarily administrative and program-alignment focused. It amends the earlier CDC announcement (CI10-101202PPHF12) to extend both the budget period and the overall project period, and it creates a 24-month "year 02" for CI10-101203PPHF12. A major driver behind these changes is to align the funding periods for activities that are shared across related ELC work, which CDC notes is intended to reduce the administrative burden on grantees. In practice, this means jurisdictions would spend less time dealing with mismatched timelines, overlapping reporting cycles, and fragmented budget periods across similar work plans, and more time executing public health activities that strengthen readiness and response.
Another key element is that the announcement incorporates activities from the Epidemiology and Laboratory Capacity for Infectious Diseases Program Components funding opportunity (ELC PC, FOA CK12-1201) into this single announcement. Conceptually, this signals an effort to consolidate related infectious disease epidemiology and laboratory work under one coordinated umbrella, rather than having jurisdictions manage parallel program components through separate funding mechanisms. The intent is to make implementation and oversight more streamlined while keeping the core ELC focus on building and maintaining foundational capacity.
Eligibility is limited and clearly defined. Only the 58 current ELC ACA grantees (or their established bona fide agents) under FOA CI10-1012 are eligible to apply. The eligible group includes states, select large cities and counties, territories and freely associated states and jurisdictions such as Puerto Rico and the Republic of Palau, and specific local jurisdictions like Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles County, New York City, and Philadelphia, among others. If an entity applies as a bona fide agent on behalf of a state or local government, it must provide a legal, binding agreement documenting that status, meaning the state or local government must formally designate that organization to apply and act on its behalf.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was posted on April 23, 2012 (created April 25, 2012), with an application deadline of June 11, 2012, and an archive date of July 11, 2012. CDC anticipated 58 awards, matching the number of eligible jurisdictions. The CFDA listing associated with the program is 93.521, described as Affordable Care Act funding to build epidemiology, laboratory, and health information systems capacity. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The listing also shows award floor and ceiling values as zero, which typically indicates that award amounts vary by jurisdiction and are governed by programmatic formulas, allocation decisions, or detailed guidance in the full announcement rather than a single uniform cap disclosed in the summary.
Overall, the grant can be understood as a CDC effort to continue and strengthen the ELC capacity-building investments already in place, while simplifying administration and integrating previously separate infectious disease epidemiology and laboratory component activities into a unified structure. For questions or difficulties accessing the full announcement, CDC directed applicants to the Procurement and Grants Office, Technical Information and Management Section, with a general inquiries phone line at 770-488-2700.
