PPHF 2016: Immunization Grants - Enhanced Standards Support for the Immunization Information Systems (IIS) Community – Financed solely by 2016 Prevention and Public Health Funds | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

PPHF 2016: Immunization Grants - Enhanced Standards Support for the Immunization Information Systems (IIS) Community is a CDC funding opportunity from HHS/CDC within the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases (NCIRD). It was financed solely using the 2016 Prevention and Public Health Fund (PPHF) dollars and was designed as a continuation award mechanism rather than a brand-new, open competition. The focus of the opportunity is the Immunization Information Systems (IIS) community, meaning the network of immunization registries and related partners that support the collection, exchange, and use of vaccination data for public health and clinical purposes. The central theme, based on the title and program framing, is enhanced support for standards, which typically points to improving how IIS systems implement and align with immunization data exchange standards so vaccination information can move more reliably between healthcare providers, pharmacies, health systems, and public health agencies.

From an administrative and funding-structure standpoint, this opportunity was issued as a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that CDC anticipated substantial involvement in the funded work (for example, providing technical guidance, aligning activities with national standards initiatives, coordinating across jurisdictions, and ensuring consistency of approach). The activity category is health, and the CFDA listing is 93.733, which corresponds to immunization-related CDC assistance. The opportunity category is listed as continuation, reinforcing that the intended recipients were likely already participating in the broader immunization grants program and were being continued or supplemented under this PPHF-funded cycle.

The opportunity number is CDC-RFA-IP14-140903CONTPPHF16. The posting date and creation date were both March 7, 2016, and the application closing date was May 30, 2016 (with the original and current closing dates matching, suggesting there was no extension). CDC anticipated making approximately 50 awards, which is consistent with a program that supports a broad national footprint across states, territories, major cities, or similarly structured public health jurisdictions and partners involved in IIS operations and standards implementation.

Eligibility is summarized as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," which signals that the eligible applicant pool was defined more specifically in the full announcement (often limiting eligibility to current awardees, specific public health entities, or designated organizations that serve the IIS community). Because the excerpted source data does not include that additional eligibility text, the safest summary is that eligibility was not simply open to all applicants and required reference to the detailed eligibility language in the full funding announcement.

A notable detail in the source fields is that the award ceiling is listed as 0. In many federal listings, a zero ceiling can mean the ceiling was not specified in the public synopsis, varies by recipient, is determined by formula, or depends on continuation amounts rather than a single competitive cap. In practice for continuation cooperative agreements, the amount is often based on prior-year funding levels, performance, and available appropriations, rather than a uniform maximum for all applicants.

Overall, this grant opportunity can be understood as CDC support, using 2016 PPHF resources, to help the IIS community strengthen and standardize immunization data practices and exchange. The intended outcome is improved interoperability and data quality across immunization information systems, which supports more accurate vaccination records, better clinical decision-making, stronger public health surveillance, and more effective immunization program management.
