Opportunity Summary:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) offered a discretionary funding opportunity called Programs for Pool and Spa Safety (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA CE10 1002) to support state-level efforts to prevent injuries and deaths linked to pools and spas. The overall goal is straightforward: reduce drowning and other pool- and spa-related incidents by strengthening safety systems and implementing proven prevention measures. The program is tied to the Healthy People 2010 priority area of Injury and Violence Prevention, and it is designed to help carry out key provisions of the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act (VGB Act), Public Law 110-140, Title XIV, specifically Sections 1405 and 1406. In practice, that means the grant is meant to back states that are putting enforceable safety requirements into place, particularly requirements aligned with federal expectations around pool and spa safety.
This opportunity was structured as a Cooperative Agreement, which typically means the CDC expected to have substantial involvement with awardees during the project period rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The funding activity category is health, and the CFDA program number associated with it is 93.136 (Injury Prevention and Control Research and State and Community Based Programs). The CDC anticipated making two awards under this announcement. The maximum award amount listed was up to $2,000,000 (award ceiling), with no stated minimum (award floor of $0), and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which can be important for state and territorial agencies working within fixed budgets.
Eligibility was limited and highly specific. Only states (and certain comparable government entities) that could demonstrate they had already enacted, or amended, a qualifying state statute consistent with the VGB Act requirements could apply. Eligible applicants included state governments or their bona fide agents, U.S. territories (explicitly including the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, Guam, and several freely associated states and other U.S.-administered areas listed in the announcement), and federally recognized or state recognized American Indian/Alaska Native tribal governments. A bona fide agent, as defined in the notice, is an agency or organization designated by the state to submit an application on the state’s behalf, but it had to provide a letter from the state documenting that status and include it directly behind the first page of the application form.
A key gating requirement was legal and technical verification. Applicants had to show that their statute met the requirements laid out in Title XIV of the Pool and Spa Safety Bill (15 U.S.C. 8001) and VGB Act Sections 1405 and 1406. Beyond simply passing a statute, the state also had to have received a letter of advice from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) Office of the General Counsel confirming the statute met the CPSC’s technical guidance. To document eligibility, applicants were expected to include both a copy of the relevant state statute and the CPSC letter of advice as an appendix to their application. The program therefore targeted jurisdictions that were already positioned to implement compliant safety frameworks, rather than jurisdictions still in the early stages of drafting legislation.
Timing details show this was a time-limited 2010 cycle. The opportunity was posted and created on March 29, 2010, with an original and current closing date of May 28, 2010. It was later archived on June 27, 2010. For applicants or interested parties who could not access the full announcement electronically, the CDC provided a grants office contact: the CDC Procurement and Grants Office (TIMS) at 770-488-2700 or via email at PGOTIM@cdc.gov.
In summary, this grant opportunity was a CDC-led effort to push measurable improvements in pool and spa safety by funding a small number of eligible jurisdictions that had already adopted VGB Act-compliant statutes and secured CPSC confirmation. The emphasis on statutory compliance, cooperative agreement oversight, and injury and violence prevention goals reflects a public health approach aimed at preventing fatal and nonfatal incidents through stronger safety requirements and coordinated state implementation.
