Opportunity Summary:
The Public Health Conference Support Program (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA EH10-1002) is a CDC discretionary grant designed to strengthen how public health knowledge is shared and put into practice by helping fund specific, non-federal conferences. The basic idea behind the program is dissemination and implementation: CDC is using conference support as a practical tool to spread new, cost-effective intervention strategies and encourage their adoption by professionals, organizations, and communities. Funding is intended as partial support rather than full underwriting, and it targets conferences that advance health promotion and disease prevention, support education and training efforts, and highlight applied research that can be translated into real-world public health action.
This opportunity is closely aligned with the National Center for Environmental Health (NCEH) and the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR). The program reflects their vision of "safer, healthier people in a safer, healthier environment" and their mission to protect the public through responsive actions that promote healthy and safe environments while preventing harmful exposures. In practice, that means CDC is interested in conferences that can meaningfully move the field forward, especially where environmental health, exposure prevention, and evidence-based public health approaches intersect with broader disease prevention and health promotion goals.
The grant uses the standard grant funding instrument type and falls under the Health activity category, with CFDA number 93.161 (Health Program for the Toxic Substances and Disease Registry). CDC anticipated making about 8 awards under this announcement. The estimated total funding available was $100,000, with an award ceiling of $100,000 and an award floor of $0, indicating that award sizes could vary widely depending on the scope and needs of the proposed conference and the availability of funds. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces barriers for organizations that may not have large discretionary budgets but can still deliver high-value convenings.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of organizations that commonly organize public health conferences or convenings. Eligible applicants include public and private nonprofit organizations, universities and colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based and faith-based organizations, small businesses including minority- and women-owned businesses, federally recognized Indian tribal governments and tribal organizations, and state and local governments. The eligibility also extends to U.S. territories and freely associated states named in the announcement, such as Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and others including the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Republic of Palau. Political subdivisions of states may apply in consultation with states. The announcement also allows for applications through a "bona fide agent" arrangement, where a state or local government designates another agency or organization to apply on its behalf; in those cases, a letter documenting bona fide agent status is required and must be placed behind the first page of the application form.
Key dates for this specific cycle were in early 2010. The announcement was posted December 16, 2009. A letter of intent was due January 5, 2010, and the full application deadline was January 29, 2010, which was also the closing date. The opportunity was archived February 28, 2010. For applicants or organizations that had trouble accessing the full announcement, CDC provided a point of contact through the CDC Procurement and Grants Office Technical Information Management team (phone 770-488-2700).
Overall, the program is best understood as targeted support for convenings that can accelerate the spread of effective public health practices. Rather than funding long-term service delivery directly, it invests in the infrastructure of knowledge exchange: bringing practitioners, researchers, educators, and decision-makers together to share evidence, strengthen professional practice, and promote interventions that prevent disease and reduce harmful environmental exposures.
