Opportunity Summary:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through its Procurement and Grants Office, released a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Public Health Research on Children and Adults Living with Spina Bifida (U01)" under Funding Opportunity Number RFA DD 10 003. This announcement supports a single cooperative agreement award (U01 mechanism), meaning the recipient would typically work in active collaboration with CDC staff rather than operating with complete independence as in some other grant types. The overall focus is public health research intended to strengthen what is known about the real-world health and life outcomes of people living with spina bifida across the lifespan, from childhood into adulthood.
The purpose of the opportunity is to advance knowledge in several specific areas that are central to understanding spina bifida as a lifelong condition. The CDC is looking for research that improves understanding of healthcare utilization (how and where individuals receive care and how often they use health services), co-morbidities (other health conditions that commonly occur alongside spina bifida), levels of independence (day-to-day functioning and self-management), employment (participation in the workforce and related factors), and mortality (death rates and contributing causes) among children and adults living with spina bifida. In practical terms, this kind of work is meant to fill gaps in evidence that can inform clinical care, public health programs, and longer-term planning for services and supports.
Funding for this competition was estimated at about $300,000 total for fiscal year 2010, with an award ceiling of $300,000, reflecting that CDC expected to fund one project at roughly that amount. The estimated project start or funding period was indicated as August 2010. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Key timeline dates included a posted date of December 10, 2009, with a letter of intent due January 27, 2010, and an application closing date of February 26, 2010. The opportunity was archived March 28, 2010. The CFDA listing associated with the program was 93.283 (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Investigations and Technical Assistance), placing it within CDCs broader portfolio of public health investigation and technical assistance activities.
Eligibility for this announcement was broad and included many U.S.-based organization types across the public, private, academic, and nonprofit sectors. Eligible applicants included state, county, city or township governments; special district governments; federally recognized Native American tribal governments and other tribal organizations; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education as well as private institutions of higher education; nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education); for-profit organizations other than small businesses; and small businesses. The listing also referenced "Others" with clarification to be found in the full announcement. The opportunity additionally referenced foreign institutions under eligibility information, indicating that foreign entities may have been allowed to apply or participate depending on the detailed eligibility rules in the full FOA.
Applicants were directed to consult the full announcement on Grants.gov for complete program details, including any required project components, application content, review criteria, and reporting expectations specific to this cooperative agreement.
