Opportunity Summary:

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) funding opportunity titled "SLEEP AND SLEEP DISORDER" (Funding Opportunity Number: CDC RFA DP13-1306) was a discretionary health cooperative agreement designed to reduce the public health burden caused by insufficient sleep and to help prevent sleep disorders. The CDC’s main aim was to support a professional sleep health organization that could operate at a national or broad-reaching level to expand sleep promotion efforts, raise public awareness about the importance of healthy sleep, and strengthen prevention-oriented approaches that reduce risk factors for sleep disorders. Rather than focusing on clinical treatment alone, the opportunity emphasized prevention, education, and systems-level improvements that can influence both the public and the healthcare workforce.

A central theme of the announcement was expanding sleep health promotion and sleep disorder prevention awareness. This includes improving how sleep hygiene and healthy sleep behaviors are communicated to the public, increasing the reach and consistency of messaging, and ensuring that sleep is treated as a key component of chronic disease prevention and overall wellness. The CDC also called for the funded organization to build partnerships and collaborations, suggesting an expectation that the awardee would convene or coordinate with stakeholders such as healthcare groups, community organizations, public health agencies, and other relevant partners to broaden impact and align sleep health efforts across sectors.

The opportunity also placed a strong focus on improving provider knowledge and skills related to sleep health promotion. In practical terms, this implies developing and disseminating educational resources, training materials, or other supports that help healthcare and public health professionals better understand sleep health, counsel patients more effectively about sleep hygiene, recognize sleep-related risk factors, and promote prevention strategies. The intent was to strengthen front-line capacity so that sleep health becomes a routine part of health promotion, not an afterthought addressed only after problems become severe.

Another major component involved data and policy. The funded organization was expected to recommend a model for sleep health data collection, which signals CDC interest in standardizing or improving how sleep-related measures are gathered, tracked, and used for public health decision-making. Alongside data recommendations, the awardee was expected to help identify and disseminate sleep health-related policies. That could include compiling examples of effective policies, sharing guidance or best practices, and translating policy-relevant information to audiences who can act on it, with the broader goal of supporting environments and systems that make healthy sleep more attainable and prioritized.

From a funding and administrative standpoint, this was a cooperative agreement, meaning the CDC anticipated substantial involvement with the recipient during the period of performance, often through collaboration, technical guidance, and shared planning rather than a hands-off grant structure. The estimated total funding available was $1,250,000, with an award ceiling of $250,000, and the CDC expected to make 1 award. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was posted on May 9, 2013, and closed on June 20, 2013, with an archive date of July 20, 2013. The CFDA number associated with this program was 93.283 (CDC Investigations and Technical Assistance).

Eligibility was broad and included many types of entities, reflecting CDC’s openness to a wide range of capable organizations so long as the proposed work fit the non-research, public health practice intent described. Eligible applicants included state and local governments and their bona fide agents (including U.S. territories and freely associated states), tribal governments and tribal organizations, tribal epidemiology centers, Alaska Native health corporations, universities and colleges, hospitals, community-based and faith-based organizations, research institutions conducting activities deemed non-research, and both nonprofit and for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), including small, minority-, and women-owned businesses. The listing indicates that applicants needed to review the announcement’s eligibility clarifications to confirm fit.
