Opportunity Summary:
The CDC grant opportunity "Provider Input on Critical Immunization Issues" (Funding Opportunity Number RFA IP 14 003) was a discretionary cooperative agreement designed to build a reliable, repeatable way to gather timely feedback from a nationally representative sample of healthcare providers about urgent and emerging immunization topics. The core idea is to give CDC and partners a structured method for quickly checking in with frontline vaccinators and other providers, then turning those insights into usable, broadly shared findings that can support vaccine policy, program planning, and rapid response when problems arise.
The project focuses on developing and implementing a methodology that can be used multiple times per year over a three-year period. Two main objectives drive the work. First, recipients are expected to establish an ongoing strategy and process for conducting several provider inquiries each year, using scientifically sound sampling and data collection approaches that produce adequate response rates and results that can be generalized nationally. In practice, this means the work is not a one-off survey; it is an infrastructure and operating plan for repeated, rapid-turnaround data collection that remains statistically credible over time. Second, recipients must disseminate results broadly so that the information can help inform recommendations for new vaccines, shape strategies to improve immunization coverage, and support contingency planning for urgent challenges such as vaccine supply shortages.
CDC anticipated making two awards under this announcement. Total estimated funding was about $2.7 million, with individual awards expected to range from $300,000 to $450,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which typically lowers barriers for public and nonprofit applicants and allows the budget to be focused on the actual data collection, analysis, and dissemination activities.
Eligibility was broad across U.S.-based public and nonprofit entities. Eligible applicants included states and political subdivisions, public and nonprofit private entities, and higher education institutions, including those specifically encouraged to apply for CDC support such as Hispanic-serving institutions, HBCUs, tribally controlled colleges and universities, and Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian-serving institutions. A range of government entities could apply, including state, county, city or township, special district, tribal governments (federally recognized and otherwise), U.S. territories or possessions, and eligible federal agencies. Other eligible applicants included independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, regional organizations, and faith-based or community-based organizations. The opportunity also allowed bona fide agents to apply on behalf of a state or local government if accompanied by a legal, binding agreement documenting that status. Foreign organizations were not eligible, and foreign components of U.S. organizations were not allowed; applicants could not include collaborators or consultants from foreign institutions.
Key dates placed the opportunity in early 2014. It was posted February 28, 2014, with a letter of intent due March 14, 2014, and the application due March 31, 2014 by 5:00 PM Eastern Time. CDC also offered a potential applicant phone call on March 12, 2014, providing a dial-in number and passcode to support prospective applicants. The opportunity was archived April 30, 2014. The administering agency was the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the CFDA listing referenced was 93.185, associated with immunization research, demonstration, public information and education, and training/clinical skills improvement projects.
Overall, the grant was aimed at strengthening the nation’s ability to quickly and credibly capture provider perspectives on immunization issues that can change fast, then translate that input into actionable information for vaccine recommendations, coverage improvement efforts, and rapid planning for disruptions like supply shortages.
