Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity is a CDC-funded cooperative agreement (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA EH10-1009E) created specifically to support the San Antonio Metropolitan Health District (SAMHD) in San Antonio, Texas, with a targeted focus on housing-related environmental health problems affecting the community surrounding the former Kelly Air Force Base (often referred to as the Kelly community). The program is framed around identifying and improving health behaviors and living conditions that contribute to preventable illness and exposure, with particular emphasis on lead poisoning risks, asthma triggers, and other indoor air pollutants. The overall intent is not only to reduce or eliminate these hazards where they exist, but also to move the broader community toward housing that is safe, healthy, accessible, and affordable.
The opportunity was posted on February 17, 2010, with an application closing date of April 16, 2010, and an archive date of May 16, 2010. The estimated total funding amount is listed as $500,000. The award ceiling and floor are shown as $0, which typically indicates that the public listing is not using standard per-award minimum/maximum fields and that the earmarked amount is addressed through the agreement terms rather than through an open competitive range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not expected to provide a required non-federal match as a condition of receiving the funds.
This announcement is categorized as an earmark and is not a broadly competed grant. Eligibility is restricted by design: the FY 2010 federal appropriation explicitly directs CDC to award funds to SAMHD. The eligibility language makes clear that no other applications are being solicited, and assistance is limited to the named organization and certain related entities (such as state/local governments or health agencies or their bona fide agents) as specified in the full eligibility section. In practical terms, this kind of announcement functions as a formal public notice for an award that Congress or the appropriations language has already directed to a particular recipient, rather than an open call where multiple applicants compete.
From a programmatic standpoint, the core public health issue is housing as a driver of exposure and illness. Lead poisoning prevention generally points to older housing stock with lead-based paint, contaminated dust or soil, or legacy industrial sources, and the grant is meant to help SAMHD reduce exposure pathways and associated health impacts. The asthma and indoor pollutant focus signals attention to common residential triggers like mold and moisture problems, pests, secondhand smoke, combustion byproducts, and ventilation or filtration deficiencies. By describing the goal as promoting safe, healthy, accessible, and affordable housing, the opportunity also suggests a broader community health approach that connects environmental hazard reduction with housing quality and the practical realities of living conditions in the neighborhood near the former base.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which is important because it usually means CDC anticipates substantial involvement in the project beyond simply issuing funds. Cooperative agreements often include collaboration on planning, performance monitoring, technical assistance, or evaluation expectations, aligning local implementation with federal environmental public health goals. The program is listed under CFDA 93.070 (Environmental Public Health and Emergency Response), placing it within CDC activities that strengthen environmental health capacity, assess exposure risks, and support interventions that prevent disease linked to environmental and housing conditions.
For questions or technical issues accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact is the CDC Procurement and Grants Office (TIMS) with a phone number of 770-488-2700 and the email PGOTIM@cdc.gov.
