Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "PPHF 2015 Immunization - Strengthening Surveillance for Diseases Among Newly Arrived Immigrants and Refugees" was issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement mechanism. It was financed solely by the 2015 Prevention and Public Health Funds (PPHF) and was designed as a targeted supplement to an existing CDC program rather than an open competition for new organizations. The core intent was to strengthen how immunization information is captured, shared, and used for newly arrived refugees and similar populations who may be at risk for vaccine-preventable diseases, with a particular emphasis on improving connections to state Immunization Information Systems (IIS).
This funding announcement was specifically limited to jurisdictions already funded under CDC RFA CK12-1205, "Strengthening Surveillance for Diseases Among Newly Arrived Immigrants and Refugees." In practical terms, that eligibility restriction meant only current CDC refugee health grantees under CK12-1205 could apply. The CDC justified this limitation by pointing to the need for applicants to already have the infrastructure and program experience required to carry out the work quickly and successfully. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduced financial barriers for eligible grantees and kept the focus on implementation and performance.
The purpose of the supplement was to help those existing grantees improve the efficiency, effectiveness, and quality of their refugee immunization data practices by establishing or strengthening the capability to both submit immunization data to state IIS and retrieve immunization data from those systems. IIS are state or jurisdictional databases used to consolidate vaccination records across providers and settings. For refugee health programs, better IIS connectivity can reduce gaps in documentation, prevent duplicate vaccinations, support timely follow-up, and help public health teams see a clearer picture of which vaccines were given overseas, during domestic medical screening, or later through routine healthcare. The CDC framed this as a way to better characterize vaccination histories and to improve follow-up for refugees who might otherwise fall through the cracks, particularly in the context of preventing and controlling vaccine-preventable diseases.
Funding details indicate a relatively small, focused program designed to support a limited number of awards. The estimated total funding was $500,000, with an expected five awards. Individual award amounts were anticipated to fall between an award floor of $105,000 and an award ceiling of $140,000. The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number associated with the opportunity was 93.755, described as "Surveillance for Diseases Among Immigrants and Refugees financed in part by Prevention and Public Health Funds (PPHF)." Although the description emphasizes immunization data, the broader program context is disease surveillance among newly arrived immigrant and refugee populations, and the IIS work is positioned as a key data and surveillance improvement strategy within that broader public health mission.
Key administrative dates show the opportunity was posted on June 8, 2015, with an original application closing date of July 23, 2015, later extended to a current closing date of August 19, 2015. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity was archived on October 14, 2015. The funding instrument type was a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates the CDC anticipated substantial involvement with awardees during the project period, such as technical guidance, coordination expectations, or ongoing collaboration to ensure the IIS connectivity and data practice improvements aligned with federal standards and program goals.
Overall, the announcement can be understood as a time-limited, supplemental investment aimed at improving the practical mechanics of immunization data exchange for refugee health programs already funded under CK12-1205. By strengthening bidirectional interaction with state IIS, the CDC sought to improve the quality and usability of immunization records for refugees, support more reliable follow-up, and ultimately reduce the risk and impact of vaccine-preventable diseases in populations that may have complex vaccination histories and higher vulnerability due to mobility, transitions in care, or incomplete documentation. For access issues related to the full announcement, the CDC listed Heather Burke (hdb9@cdc.gov) as the contact.
FAQs: PPHF 2015 Immunization - Strengthening Surveillance for Diseases Among Newly Arrived Immigrants and Refugees
What is the title of this grant opportunity?
The opportunity is titled "PPHF 2015 Immunization - Strengthening Surveillance for Diseases Among Newly Arrived Immigrants and Refugees."
Which federal agency issued this funding opportunity?
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued this discretionary funding opportunity.
What type of funding mechanism was used?
The funding instrument was a cooperative agreement, meaning CDC anticipated substantial involvement with awardees during the project period (for example, technical guidance, coordination expectations, or ongoing collaboration to support IIS connectivity and data practice improvements).
What was the overall purpose of this supplemental funding?
The purpose was to help existing refugee health grantees improve the efficiency, effectiveness, and quality of refugee immunization data practices, especially by strengthening the ability to submit immunization data to state Immunization Information Systems (IIS) and retrieve immunization data from IIS (bidirectional interaction).
What populations did the work focus on?
The work focused on newly arrived refugees and similar newly arrived immigrant populations who may be at risk for vaccine-preventable diseases and who may have complex vaccination histories or incomplete documentation.
How does this opportunity relate to broader disease surveillance?
While the description emphasizes immunization data, the opportunity sits within the broader program context of strengthening surveillance for diseases among newly arrived immigrant and refugee populations. IIS connectivity was positioned as a key strategy to improve data and surveillance practices within that broader public health mission.

What kinds of practical improvements was this supplement trying to achieve?
Based on the announcement description, the supplement aimed to improve the practical mechanics of immunization data exchange by strengthening the capability to submit and retrieve immunization records through IIS, thereby improving record quality and usability, supporting follow-up, and helping reduce the risk and impact of vaccine-preventable diseases.
What problem does bidirectional IIS interaction help address for refugees?
It can help address mobility and transitions in care, incomplete or scattered documentation, and the potential for missed follow-up or duplicate vaccinations by consolidating vaccination histories across overseas records, domestic screening, and ongoing healthcare.
