Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, RFA DD 09 003, is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) discretionary grant program focused on preventing or reducing health risk behaviors among children and adolescents with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The CDC is seeking research proposals that go beyond simply describing risk and instead move toward practical, testable solutions. Projects funded under this announcement are expected to identify promising interventions, implement them in real-world or research-informed settings, and evaluate whether they reduce health risk behaviors in youth with ADHD. The interventions should be grounded in evidence-based theory or thoughtfully adapted from prior research, meaning applicants should be able to justify why their approach should work for this population and how it builds on existing evidence.
The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally means the CDC expects to have substantial involvement during the project period compared with a more hands-off grant. While the announcement summary does not list the specific collaboration details, cooperative agreements typically involve CDC program staff providing scientific or programmatic input, helping align evaluation methods with public health priorities, and supporting dissemination of findings. The overall research emphasis is on prevention and risk reduction, with the core deliverables being implementation experience and credible evaluation results that can inform future public health practice for youth with ADHD.
The program was expected to make two awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $400,000. The award ceiling is listed as $400,000, with no award floor specified, suggesting budgets could vary depending on the scope and design of the proposed work as long as they remain justified. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces barriers for organizations that may not have additional funds to contribute. The activity category is health, and the CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 93.184, Disabilities Prevention, reflecting the public health framing around disability-related prevention and improved outcomes.
Eligibility is broad and includes public and private nonprofit organizations, for-profit organizations (including small, minority-owned, and women-owned businesses), universities and colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based organizations, and faith-based organizations. It also includes federally or state recognized American Indian/Alaska Native tribal governments and tribally connected entities such as tribal epidemiology centers, Alaska Native health corporations, urban Indian health organizations, and tribally designated organizations. State and local governments, U.S. territories and freely associated states listed in the announcement, and political subdivisions of states may also apply, including through bona fide agents acting on behalf of a state or local government. Organizations applying as a bona fide agent are required to provide documentation from the relevant government entity confirming that status.
Key dates for the competition were set in early 2009. The opportunity was posted on February 9, 2009, with a letter of intent deadline of March 9, 2009, and an application deadline of April 9, 2009. The archive date is May 9, 2009, indicating the window for submitting applications has long since closed, but the summary still serves as a useful reference point for the kind of ADHD-related public health prevention research the CDC has supported.
For applicants needing access assistance or administrative guidance, the announcement directs inquiries to the CDC Procurement and Grants Office (PGO), Technical Information Management Section (TIMS), with a listed phone number of 770-488-2700.
