Opportunity Summary:
The Public Health Conference Support Program is a CDC grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number CDC PA HM09-901) administered through the CDC Procurement and Grants Office to help cover part of the costs of specific, non-federal public health conferences. Its core aim is to strengthen the field by supporting conferences that advance health promotion and disease prevention, build or disseminate educational programming, and encourage applied research that can be translated into practice. In other words, the funding is meant to help conferences bring together practitioners, researchers, educators, and community or government partners to share evidence, improve methods, and spread useful tools that can make public health work more effective.
This opportunity is offered as a cooperative agreement, which generally means CDC expects an ongoing relationship with award recipients that can include programmatic involvement beyond simply issuing funds. The total estimated funding available for fiscal year 2009 is about $2.6 million, with CDC anticipating roughly 70 to 100 awards. Individual awards are capped at $75,000, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated for applicants, which can make the program more accessible to organizations that do not have large discretionary budgets.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of organizations that commonly organize or host public health meetings. Eligible applicants include state, county, city or township governments, special district governments, federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations, public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (including those with 501(c)(3) status and certain nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status), small businesses, and even for-profit organizations other than small businesses. The funding activity category is listed as Health, and the CFDA number associated with the program is 93.283 (CDC Investigations and Technical Assistance).
Key dates for this announcement were posted on December 16, 2008, with a letter of intent deadline of February 2, 2009, and an application closing date of March 2, 2009.
