Opportunity Summary:

The State Falls Prevention Program Supplement is a CDC discretionary funding opportunity offered as a cooperative agreement to help one eligible state health department take a closer, data-driven look at how the STEADI fall prevention toolkit is being put into practice inside a large healthcare organization. The core aim is evaluation rather than starting a brand-new program: the supplement is meant to measure how STEADI implementation works in a real clinical environment, what it produces in terms of older adult health outcomes, and what it costs (or potentially saves) when used at scale in primary care settings.

This supplement sits on top of ongoing state work under the Core Violence and Injury Prevention Program (Core VIPP) State Falls Prevention component. States funded under that core component are already running a mix of community and clinical fall prevention strategies. On the community side, the work includes evidence-based programs such as Tai Chi: Moving for Better Balance, Stepping On, and Otago. On the clinical side, states are also supporting use of STEADI (Stopping Elderly Accidents, Deaths and Injuries), which is a set of tools designed to help primary care teams consistently screen older adults for fall risk, assess contributing factors, and manage or treat risk through appropriate interventions and follow-up. Because states have been building partnerships with large health systems to help integrate STEADI into routine care, CDC is using this supplement to capitalize on those partnerships by funding a rigorous local evaluation within one or more large healthcare organizations.

The activities supported by the supplement focus on collecting and analyzing three broad types of information: process data, health outcomes data, and cost data. In practical terms, that means documenting how STEADI is implemented (for example, how screening and assessment are integrated into workflows, how providers and staff use the tools, how referrals and follow-up are handled, and what level of reach or uptake is achieved), and then pairing that implementation information with measurable outcomes and cost-related evidence. The intent is to understand both whether STEADI improves outcomes for older adults in that health system and what the financial implications look like for the organization, patients, or the broader healthcare system. The opportunity description emphasizes learning about the potential health outcomes and costs associated with STEADI implementation, which signals an interest in real-world effectiveness and economic impact, not just whether the toolkit can be adopted.

Eligibility is limited: only state governments are eligible, and more specifically, only state health departments that are already funded for the State Falls Prevention Component of Core VIPP (funding number CE11-1101) can apply. The announcement lists one expected award, highlighting that this is a targeted supplement rather than a broad competition. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The total estimated funding for the supplement is $120,000, with an award range from $75,000 (floor) to $120,000 (ceiling). The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 93.136 (Injury Prevention and Control Research and State and Community Based Programs), reinforcing that this work is positioned within CDC injury prevention efforts, with falls among older adults treated as a major preventable injury issue.

Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number (CE11 11010501SUPP15) and the fact that it was posted May 4, 2015, with an application deadline of June 1, 2015 (applications due electronically by 11:59 p.m. ET). While those dates indicate the specific posting is archived (archive date July 1, 2015), the structure of the opportunity is clear: CDC sought to use supplemental funding to strengthen evaluation capacity in a state already implementing fall prevention programming, specifically by studying STEADI implementation in a large healthcare setting and generating usable evidence on implementation performance, health outcomes, and costs. For access or administrative questions, the listed CDC contact was Karen Ledford (KPL6@cdc.gov).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the State Falls Prevention Program Supplement?

The State Falls Prevention Program Supplement is a CDC discretionary funding opportunity offered as a cooperative agreement. It is designed to support one eligible state health department in conducting a focused, data-driven evaluation of how the STEADI fall prevention toolkit is being implemented within a large healthcare organization.

What is the main purpose of this supplement?

The central purpose is evaluation, not launching a new program. The supplement is intended to measure how STEADI implementation functions in a real clinical environment, what outcomes it produces for older adults, and what it costs (or may save) when implemented at scale in primary care settings.

Is this funding meant to start a brand-new falls prevention program?

No. The opportunity is framed as an evaluation supplement that builds on existing state falls prevention work, specifically examining STEADI implementation within a large healthcare organization.

How does this supplement relate to Core VIPP?

This supplement sits on top of ongoing state work under the Core Violence and Injury Prevention Program (Core VIPP), State Falls Prevention component. Only states already funded under that Core VIPP falls prevention component are eligible to apply for the supplement.

What is STEADI?

STEADI stands for Stopping Elderly Accidents, Deaths and Injuries. It is a set of tools intended to help primary care teams consistently screen older adults for fall risk, assess contributing factors, and manage or treat risk through appropriate interventions and follow-up.

Why is CDC funding an evaluation of STEADI in large healthcare organizations?

The opportunity is intended to capitalize on partnerships states have built with large health systems to integrate STEADI into routine care. CDC’s goal is to fund a rigorous local evaluation within one or more large healthcare organizations to generate practical evidence about implementation, outcomes, and costs.

What kinds of activities are supported by this supplement?

The supplement supports collecting and analyzing three broad categories of information: process data, health outcomes data, and cost data. This includes documenting how STEADI is implemented in clinical workflows and pairing that with measurable outcomes and cost-related evidence.

What is meant by “process data” in this opportunity?

Process data refers to information documenting how STEADI is implemented in practice. Examples described include how screening and assessment are integrated into workflows, how providers and staff use the tools, how referrals and follow-up are handled, and what level of reach or uptake is achieved.

What is meant by “health outcomes data” in this opportunity?

Health outcomes data refers to measurable outcomes for older adults associated with STEADI implementation in the healthcare organization being evaluated. The supplement emphasizes learning about potential health outcomes linked to real-world STEADI use.

What is meant by “cost data” in this opportunity?

Cost data refers to evidence about the financial implications of implementing STEADI at scale. The description highlights interest in understanding costs (or potential savings) for the organization, patients, or the broader healthcare system.

What is the evaluation trying to learn about STEADI implementation?

The evaluation is intended to generate usable evidence about: (1) how STEADI is implemented within routine clinical workflows, (2) whether STEADI improves outcomes for older adults in that health system, and (3) what the economic impact looks like when implemented at scale in primary care.

Who is eligible to apply?

Eligibility is limited to state governments. More specifically, only state health departments already funded for the State Falls Prevention Component of Core VIPP (funding number CE11-1101) are eligible to apply.

How many awards does CDC expect to make?
