Opportunity Summary:
The State Vital Statistics Improvement Program is a CDC-funded cooperative agreement designed to strengthen how vital records data are collected, managed, and used across the United States. Its central goal is to improve the nation s overall vital statistics system so it can deliver timely, accurate, and high-quality birth and death information to the National Vital Statistics System. In practical terms, this opportunity focuses on boosting the speed and reliability of the data that states submit, helping more states fully transition to effective electronic birth and death registration systems, and expanding how vital statistics data are used for public health surveillance and decision-making.
This funding opportunity (CDC RFA SH12 12010203SUPP13) was offered as continuation funding under a cooperative agreement, meaning the awardee would work closely with CDC rather than operating entirely independently. The activity category is health, and the program is listed under CFDA 93.066. The estimated total funding amount was 110,000, with an award ceiling of 110,000 and an expectation of one award. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces the financial burden on the recipient and keeps the focus on implementation and technical progress.
Eligibility for this award was highly restricted. Only the National Association of Public Health Statistics and Information Systems (NAPHSIS) was permitted to apply, and no other applications were accepted. CDC justified this limitation by pointing to NAPHSIS s unique role and expertise in supporting state vital statistics and vital records programs nationwide. The rationale emphasized that effective improvement in vital registration and vital statistics requires specialized knowledge of the legal, operational, and technical realities of state systems, along with the ability to provide credible technical assistance and influence changes in business processes and technology adoption across states. According to the announcement, CDC determined that this combination of expertise, relationships, and practical influence resides specifically with NAPHSIS, making it the only eligible applicant for this continuation award.
