Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "PPHF 2015 Immunization Capacity Building Assistance for Infrastructure Enhancements to Meet Interoperability Requirements," financed in part by the 2015 Prevention and Public Health Fund (PPHF), was a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) funding announcement focused on strengthening the technical and operational capacity of public health immunization infrastructure, especially where system interoperability requirements were a key driver. It was released as a continuation opportunity and used a cooperative agreement mechanism, which typically means the CDC expected to have substantial involvement with recipients during implementation, such as providing technical guidance, coordination support, or ongoing program oversight rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back.
This opportunity was listed under Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA IP14-1404PPHF15 and fell within the "Health" activity category. The program aligned with CFDA 93.733, described as "Capacity Building Assistance to Strengthen Public Health Immunization Infrastructure and Performance," and it did not require cost sharing or matching. The total estimated funding associated with the announcement was approximately $19,666,176, and the CDC anticipated making about 15 awards. The posting and creation date for the announcement were July 17, 2015, with an original and current closing date of August 18, 2015, and an archive date of September 17, 2015. The award ceiling and floor were both listed as $0, which commonly indicates that individual award amounts were determined through internal allocation decisions, continuation budgets, or negotiated amounts rather than through a typical open competition with published per-award ranges.
A defining feature of this FOA was that it functioned primarily as a notice of intent to award funds to a specific pool of prior applicants. Eligibility was not framed as an open call to all entities; instead, the announcement stated that it was intended for applicants who had previously applied under the related "PPHF 2014 Immunization Capacity Building Assistance for Infrastructure Enhancements to Meet Interoperability Requirements" opportunity. In other words, this 2015 funding round was positioned as a continuation pathway for earlier participants rather than a brand-new competition. The "Eligible Applicants" field was broadly labeled as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," but the eligibility clarification narrows the practical applicant group to those already involved in the prior-year effort.
Programmatically, the emphasis on "infrastructure enhancements to meet interoperability requirements" points to improving the ability of immunization information systems and supporting public health data systems to exchange information reliably and according to required standards. In the immunization context, interoperability often involves ensuring immunization data can move efficiently between clinical providers, health systems, pharmacies, laboratories where relevant, and state or local immunization registries, using consistent formats and secure transport methods. Capacity-building activities under an initiative like this typically include modernizing data infrastructure, improving system interfaces, upgrading software and hardware where needed, strengthening data quality and deduplication processes, and supporting the policy and operational workflows that make electronic reporting usable in practice. While the short source record provided does not enumerate specific required activities, the title and CFDA linkage make clear that the intent was to bolster immunization program performance by investing in the foundational systems that enable timely, accurate, and standards-based data exchange.
The announcement was administered by the CDC. For applicants or stakeholders who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, the contact provided was the CDC Procurement Grants Office (PGO) via phone at 770-488-2700 or email at pgotim@cdc.gov.
