Opportunity Summary:
The CDC funding opportunity titled "State Approaches to Estimating Incidence and Prevalence of Lupus" (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA DP10-1011) is a discretionary cooperative agreement designed to strengthen public health knowledge about lupus by producing more credible, population-based estimates of how often lupus occurs (incidence) and how many people are living with it (prevalence). The central public health problem this program targets is that lupus is relatively uncommon but can be highly disabling and costly, and existing estimates are often uncertain, inconsistent across regions, or based on incomplete case finding. This announcement specifically emphasizes improving estimates among Hispanic and Asian populations, groups for whom data have historically been more limited and where patterns of disease burden may differ.
The work is positioned as a continuation of the National Arthritis Action Plan: A Public Health Strategy (NAAP). In practical terms, that means the program is meant to build the evidence base needed for better planning, awareness, and public health response to arthritis and related rheumatic diseases. The announcement calls for the implementation and completion of two additional population-based lupus studies, focusing on both systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and skin lupus (often referred to as cutaneous lupus). By specifying population-based studies, the CDC is signaling that the expectation is to capture cases across a defined population (not just within a single clinic or health system), which is key for producing credible incidence and prevalence measures.
The CDC planned to make two awards under this opportunity, with an estimated total funding amount of $3,000,000. The award ceiling is listed as $1,500,000, which aligns with the expectation that two awards could be funded at up to that amount each. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, lowering barriers for eligible public agencies to apply. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally implies substantial involvement by the CDC during the project period, such as technical assistance, guidance on methodology, and coordination to support consistency and comparability across study sites.
Eligibility is focused on governmental public health capacity at scale. Applicants may include state and local government health departments serving populations of 1 million or more, as well as their bona fide agents. The eligibility language explicitly includes U.S. territories and affiliated jurisdictions, including the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, Guam, the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Republic of Palau. If an entity applies as a bona fide agent rather than the government health department itself, it must provide a letter from the relevant state or local government documenting that status, which is an important administrative requirement.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on April 1, 2010, with an application deadline of May 10, 2010, and it was later archived on June 9, 2010. The CFDA number associated with the program is 93.283, under the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention category of investigations and technical assistance, reflecting the surveillance and epidemiologic research nature of the work rather than direct clinical service delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs): State Approaches to Estimating Incidence and Prevalence of Lupus (CDC RFA DP10-1011)
What is this CDC funding opportunity?
This opportunity is titled "State Approaches to Estimating Incidence and Prevalence of Lupus" (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA DP10-1011). It is a discretionary cooperative agreement intended to strengthen public health knowledge about lupus by producing more credible, population-based estimates of lupus incidence (how often new cases occur) and prevalence (how many people are living with lupus).
What public health problem is the program trying to address?
The program targets the problem that lupus is relatively uncommon but can be highly disabling and costly, and current estimates are often uncertain, inconsistent across regions, or based on incomplete case finding. The goal is to improve the credibility and comparability of population-based estimates.
What conditions are included in the studies?
The announcement calls for studies covering both systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and skin lupus (often referred to as cutaneous lupus).
