Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity "Reducing Risks for Alcohol Exposed Pregnancy (AEP) in Women Attending Federally Funded Community Health Centers and Title X Programs" (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA DD 10 1006) is a CDC discretionary funding program offered as a cooperative agreement. Its central goal is to reduce the likelihood of alcohol-exposed pregnancy by expanding the reach of Project CHOICES, an evidence-based intervention designed to help women who are at risk for an AEP because they drink alcohol and are also at risk of becoming pregnant (for example, due to ineffective or inconsistent contraception). The emphasis is not on creating a brand-new intervention from scratch, but on adapting Project CHOICES so it fits a wide range of real-world public health environments, then implementing it broadly in settings that serve large numbers of women who may be at elevated risk.
The targeted implementation sites are federally supported safety-net providers, specifically HRSA-funded community health centers and Title X family planning programs. These settings are highlighted because they routinely serve medically underserved communities and vulnerable populations and commonly provide services closely tied to AEP risk reduction, such as gynecology and obstetrics care, family planning, and sexually transmitted disease services. The announcement also situates this work within the broader maternal and child health landscape, noting HRSA's administration of the Title V Maternal and Child Health Block Grant, which supports prenatal and postpartum services for low-income women; as a point of context, Title V programs reportedly provided prenatal and obstetrical services to more than 2.5 million women in 2008. Taken together, the FOA is trying to capitalize on these high-volume clinical and public health touchpoints to deliver a proven prevention approach where it can have the most population-level impact.
Funding is structured for up to five awards, with an estimated total funding level of $4,000,000. The stated award ceiling is $275,000, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which can lower the barrier for resource-constrained public health and clinic partners. The CFDA listing is 93.283 (CDC Investigations and Technical Assistance). Key dates show the opportunity was posted June 24, 2010, with an application closing date of July 8, 2010, and an archive date of August 7, 2010, indicating it was a time-limited competition.
Eligibility is focused on local public health departments (city and/or county public health entities) that are connected to both HRSA health center funding and Title X family planning funding. Specifically, the FOA describes eligible applicants as local health departments that receive HRSA support under the Health Center Program statute (Section 330(e) of the Public Health Service Act and related federal regulations) for comprehensive community health centers, and that also receive funding from Title X grantees authorized under Section 1001 of the Public Health Service Act. Title X is described in the announcement as supporting voluntary family planning projects that provide a broad range of acceptable and effective family planning methods along with related preventive health services. The FOA also allows applications from bona fide agents, meaning an agency or organization designated by a state as eligible to apply on the state's behalf; applicants using this route must provide a letter from the relevant state or local government documenting that status.
Because the mechanism is a cooperative agreement, applicants should generally expect an active partnership model with CDC rather than a hands-off grant. In practical terms, that often means CDC is likely to be involved in elements such as technical assistance, fidelity to the intervention model, evaluation expectations, reporting, and cross-site learning. The overall intent is to take Project CHOICES beyond limited demonstration efforts and embed it into the routine operations of community health centers and Title X-associated service environments so that women at risk can be identified and offered structured support to reduce drinking, improve contraception use, or both, thereby lowering the chance of alcohol exposure during a potential pregnancy.
