Opportunity Summary:
Revitalizing Core Environmental Health Programs through the Environmental Health Specialists Network (EHS Net) Research (U01) is a CDC cooperative agreement designed to strengthen day-to-day environmental health services by building and supporting a coordinated network of environmental health specialists. The main purpose is practical and prevention-focused: bring environmental health specialists together with epidemiologists and laboratorians to conduct applied research that pinpoints environmental risk factors linked to foodborne and/or waterborne illness, then use those findings to improve environmental health practice and reduce illness.
The opportunity sits within the Environmental Public Health and Emergency Response program area (CFDA 93.070) and is offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement (U01). The cooperative agreement structure signals that CDC expects substantial involvement and collaboration rather than a fully independent research grant model. In effect, awardees are meant to function as part of a broader EHS Net effort, coordinating methods and sharing results so the network can produce comparable, useful findings that translate into real-world improvements in inspection, investigation, and prevention activities related to food and water safety.
Funding for the announcement was estimated at $4,050,000 total, with an expected 23 awards. The stated award ceiling was $175,000, with no stated award floor, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The announcement was posted January 14, 2010, with a letter of intent due February 12, 2010, and full applications due March 15, 2010. The opportunity later moved to archive status on April 14, 2010, reflecting that it was a time-limited competition rather than an open, ongoing solicitation.
Eligible applicants were public and tribal governmental entities and their formally designated agents. This included federally recognized American Indian/Alaska Native tribal governments; American Indian/Alaska Native tribally designated organizations; Alaska Native villages, groups, and regional or village corporations; and state and local governments (including jurisdictions and territories such as the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, Guam, and several freely associated states and republics listed in the announcement). The notice also allowed applications from a state or local government’s bona fide agent, but required documentation from the relevant government confirming that status, submitted as part of the application package.
In practical terms, the program is aimed at improving environmental health capacity and performance by organizing environmental health specialists into a research-ready network that can study how environmental conditions and practices contribute to outbreaks and sporadic cases of foodborne and waterborne disease. By combining environmental health field expertise with epidemiology and laboratory science, EHS Net projects are intended to produce evidence that can guide prevention strategies, refine program operations, and strengthen the core functions of environmental health agencies. For additional context on the network and its activities, CDC directed applicants to the EHS Net website referenced in the announcement.
The sponsoring agency was the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. For administrative or access issues related to the full announcement, the contact point listed was the CDC Procurement and Grants Office Technical Information Management office (phone 770-488-2700).
