Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "PPHF 2014 Immunization: Improving Immunization Rates and Enhancing Disease Prevention through Partnerships with Providers and National Organizations that focus on Public Health" (Funding Opportunity Number CDC-RFA-IP14-1405PPHF14) is a CDC discretionary cooperative agreement funded entirely by the 2014 Prevention and Public Health Fund (PPHF). It was designed to strengthen immunization delivery and public health prevention efforts by working through partnerships with health care providers and national or provider-facing organizations, with an emphasis on activities that can produce measurable, trackable improvements within the project period.
At its core, the program goal is to increase immunization rates by changing what happens in everyday clinical settings: more providers routinely assessing patients vaccination needs and more providers consistently recommending needed vaccines. The funding announcement makes measurement central to the work, directing applicants to focus on short-term and mid-term outcomes that are realistically achievable in the time allowed and that can be documented with data. In practice, that means interventions that can quickly improve clinical behaviors such as vaccine status assessment, strong recommendations, and follow-through on vaccine delivery, rather than long-horizon efforts that are difficult to evaluate within the award window.
A major priority highlighted for the first two budget periods is increasing HPV vaccination coverage among adolescents. The CDC frames this as a provider-communication and practice-improvement challenge as much as an access issue. Funded activities are expected to use professional education, outreach, and training, along with clinician-focused tools, to help providers deliver strong, consistent HPV vaccine recommendations and respond effectively to parental questions. The announcement also explicitly links this communication work to cancer prevention by emphasizing conversations about HPV-related cancers and the value of vaccination as prevention, positioning clinicians to address hesitancy and misinformation in a practical, patient-centered way.
Administratively, this opportunity was offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning recipients would typically work in close collaboration with CDC on program implementation and performance expectations, rather than operating as fully independent grantees. The program falls under CFDA 93.733, described as capacity-building assistance to strengthen public health immunization infrastructure and performance. The estimated total funding level was $40,000,000, with an expected 10 awards. Individual awards were anticipated to range from $500,000 (floor) to $1,500,000 (ceiling). No cost sharing or matching was required, lowering barriers for organizations that might not have flexible funds available for match requirements.
The timeline reflected a standard competitive federal grant cycle for that year. The opportunity was posted July 8, 2014 (created July 9, 2014), and applications were due August 21, 2014 by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time through Grants.gov. A letter of intent was not required, and there was no informational conference call listed. The archive date was September 20, 2014, indicating the announcement was later closed and filed as a past opportunity.
Eligibility was broad and intentionally inclusive to enable a wide range of partnerships and delivery models. Eligible government applicants included states (and bona fide agents), local governments, U.S. territories and freely associated states listed in the announcement, state-controlled institutions of higher education, federally or state recognized American Indian or Alaska Native tribal governments, and public housing authorities or Indian housing authorities. Eligible non-government applicants included tribally designated organizations, nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in that category), private colleges and universities, community-based and faith-based organizations, for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), and small businesses. No special eligibility requirements beyond these categories were noted, suggesting the CDC intended to attract applicants with diverse capabilities, including organizations positioned to influence provider practices at scale.
In summary, this FOA sought to fund practical, measurable interventions that improve how providers evaluate and recommend vaccines, with an early and explicit focus on raising adolescent HPV vaccination coverage. The approach relies on provider education and tools that strengthen clinical recommendations and improve responses to parental concerns, all supported through a cooperative agreement structure and financed solely through 2014 PPHF dollars. For applicants, the key to alignment with the opportunity is demonstrating credible partnerships with provider networks or national organizations, presenting interventions that can be implemented quickly, and laying out clear performance measures tied to provider behavior change and vaccination uptake.
