Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "PPHF 2015 - Immunization - Utilization of Immunization Information Systems (IIS) for Assessment, Feedback, Incentives, and eXchange (AFIX)" is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cooperative agreement focused on modernizing how immunization coverage assessments are performed and reported. Its central goal is to help existing immunization program awardees move AFIX assessment functionality into their Immunization Information Systems (IIS), so that IIS becomes the single, authoritative reference source for assessment results. In practice, this is meant to improve consistency and comparability of immunization coverage assessment reporting across different states, territories, and jurisdictions, reducing variation that can occur when assessments are conducted using separate tools, methods, or data sources.
This funding opportunity is categorized as discretionary and uses a cooperative agreement funding instrument, meaning recipients should expect substantial CDC involvement beyond simple pass-through funding. The activity sits in the health category and aligns with public health immunization infrastructure and performance improvement. The program is tied to CFDA 93.733, described as capacity building assistance to strengthen public health immunization infrastructure and performance, and it is financed in part through the Prevention and Public Health Fund (PPHF). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers financial barriers for eligible public entities to participate.
In terms of scale, the CDC anticipated making up to 50 awards under this announcement. The estimated total funding amount was 10,000,000. Individual awards were expected to fall between an award floor of 100,000 and an award ceiling of 450,000. The ceiling is a strict limit: applications requesting more than 450,000 were deemed non-responsive and would not proceed to further review. This cap signals that the work is intended to be targeted and implementation-oriented, focused on transitioning and integrating AFIX capabilities within existing IIS environments rather than building entirely new statewide systems from scratch.
Eligibility is geared toward governmental public health entities and their authorized agents. Eligible applicants include state governments (including the District of Columbia), local governments or their bona fide agents, territorial governments or their bona fide agents, and other governmental organizations such as city or township governments and special district governments. The eligible territories and affiliated jurisdictions explicitly include the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, Guam, the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Republic of Palau. The emphasis on "current, eligible immunization awardees" indicates this funding was primarily designed as an enhancement or transition support mechanism for jurisdictions already operating immunization programs with established CDC relationships and baseline infrastructure.
Timing for the opportunity was very tight. The funding opportunity was posted and created on Aug 18, 2015, with an original and current closing date of Aug 19, 2015, and it was archived on Sep 18, 2015. That kind of one-day application window typically suggests a limited competition or a rapid administrative action intended for a defined set of existing awardees, rather than an open-ended solicitation for entirely new applicants.
Operationally, the work being supported revolves around integrating AFIX assessment processes into IIS. AFIX (Assessment, Feedback, Incentives, and eXchange) is traditionally a quality improvement approach used to evaluate immunization coverage levels among provider sites and to support follow-up actions to raise coverage. By migrating AFIX assessment functionality into IIS, jurisdictions can rely on a centralized immunization record system to generate assessments, standardize metrics and outputs, and reduce duplicate data entry and reconciliation. The stated intent is to ensure consistent reporting of coverage assessment results across jurisdictions, which matters for national comparability, benchmarking, performance management, and identifying coverage gaps that may require targeted intervention.
The sponsoring agency is the CDC. For access issues or administrative questions, the contact listed is the CDC Procurement and Grants Office (PGO), with phone number 770-488-2700 and email pgotim@cdc.gov. The opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number CDC-RFA-IP15-1505PPHF15, which is the key reference for tracking the announcement and its associated materials.
