- Eligible applicants include: Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification).
- Eligible Applicants The following recipients may submit an application An application may be submitted by the National Association of Public Health Statistics and Information Systems (NAPHSIS). No other applications will be accepted. The eligible applicant is limited to NAPHSIS because its primary mission is the support of the State vital statistics and vital records programs and provides the basis for appropriate technical assistance to the civil registration and vital statistics systems of developing countries. Other organizations lack the background and understanding of the unique requirements of a civil registration and vital statistics system, skills essential to providing the advice, training, and support called for as part of a civil registration and vital statistics improvement activity. An internet search was conducted to identify organizations capable of providing technical assistance on both civil registration and vital statistics. References were found to the United Nations Statistics Division (UNSD) and the Health Metrics Network (HMN). Neither organization is domestic. In addition, the Health Metrics Network was recently disbanded and neither the UNSD nor the HMN has the skills required to provide technical assistance on civil registration activities, as their expertise is/was focused on vital statistics. In sum, the single eligibility decision is based on the acknowledgement that the foremost knowledge and expertise on the combination of civil registration and vital statistics is available to the National Association for Public Health Statistics and Information Systems.

Opportunity Summary:
The State Vital Statistics Improvement Program is a CDC-funded continuation cooperative agreement designed to strengthen the U.S. public health workforce and, in turn, improve the quality and timeliness of data flowing into the National Vital Statistics System (NVSS). The central idea is that U.S. vital statistics professionals build and sharpen practical skills by providing hands-on technical assistance to civil registration and vital statistics (CRVS) systems in low-resource countries. That experience is intended to translate back into more efficient operations and better data practices at home, ultimately supporting stronger national vital statistics reporting and public health decision-making in the United States.
This opportunity was issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention under Funding Opportunity Number CDC-RFA-SH12-12010202SUPP13, titled "State Vital Statistics Improvement Program." It falls under the health activity category and uses a cooperative agreement mechanism, which typically means the CDC expects to have substantial involvement in the project’s direction, coordination, or oversight rather than issuing a no-strings-attached grant. The opportunity was posted on August 2, 2013, with an application closing date of September 3, 2013, and an archive date of October 3, 2013. The program is listed under CFDA 93.066.
Funding for this continuation award was limited in both scale and scope: the CDC anticipated making one award with an estimated total funding amount of $60,000, and an award ceiling of $60,000. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient was not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility was narrowly restricted to a single applicant: the National Association of Public Health Statistics and Information Systems (NAPHSIS). The CDC explicitly stated that no other applications would be accepted. The justification for this restriction was based on NAPHSIS’s primary mission and established expertise supporting state vital statistics and vital records programs, along with its capacity to deliver appropriate technical assistance that spans both civil registration and vital statistics functions. The announcement explains that other organizations generally do not share the same depth of operational understanding of CRVS systems, particularly the combined, end-to-end requirements that include legal/administrative civil registration processes and the production of reliable vital statistics. The CDC notes it reviewed potential alternatives (including international entities such as the United Nations Statistics Division and the former Health Metrics Network), but found that they were not domestic and/or did not offer the needed practical capabilities across the full CRVS spectrum, especially for civil registration activities. On that basis, the CDC concluded that the most relevant U.S.-based expertise covering both civil registration and vital statistics resided with NAPHSIS.
