STD Surveillance Network (SSuN) | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The STD Surveillance Network (SSuN) funding opportunity is a continuation cooperative agreement administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). It is listed under the title "STD Surveillance Network (SSuN)" with Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA PS13 130604CONT16 and falls within the health funding activity category. The program is associated with CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number 93.977, which aligns with CDC activities focused on sexually transmitted disease prevention and surveillance. The opportunity was posted on January 28, 2016, created the same day, and carried an application closing date of April 15, 2016.

SSuN, by name and program category, is centered on strengthening and expanding public health surveillance for sexually transmitted diseases. In practical terms, this kind of network typically supports coordinated data collection and analysis across participating jurisdictions to improve the quality, timeliness, and usefulness of STD surveillance information. Surveillance networks like SSuN are commonly used to generate more detailed and actionable insights than routine reporting alone, such as enhanced case investigations, monitoring of trends in STD burden, characterization of affected populations, and identification of outbreaks or emerging issues. The cooperative agreement mechanism signals that CDC generally expects to remain substantially involved in the work, often through collaborative planning, technical assistance, standardization of methods, and shared analytic priorities across awardees, rather than simply issuing funds and receiving periodic reports.

This particular listing is explicitly categorized as "Continuation," which generally means it is intended to continue supporting an existing set of recipients or an established program rather than launching an entirely new competition. That continuation posture is consistent with the network model: maintaining stable participation over time can be essential for trend analyses, comparable measurement across sites, and sustained infrastructure for data systems and epidemiologic capacity. The "Eligible Applicants" field is summarized as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," which implies that eligibility is not limited to one standard applicant type in the abbreviated record, and that the full announcement would specify exactly which organizations may apply (for example, certain governmental health departments, territories, local jurisdictions, or other designated entities that are part of the network).

The funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, and the opportunity anticipates up to 50 awards. The record lists an award ceiling of 0, which in many government listings indicates that a specific maximum per award is either not provided in the abbreviated summary, varies by applicant/site, is determined by available funds, or is otherwise defined in the full program announcement rather than in the quick fields shown here. Taken together, the key operational takeaway is that CDC intended to support a relatively large set of participating entities under a structured, CDC-involved surveillance program, focused on STD surveillance enhancements, with an application deadline in mid-April 2016.

In short, this grant opportunity describes CDC support for the STD Surveillance Network (SSuN) through a continuation cooperative agreement (CFDA 93.977), posted January 28, 2016 and closing April 15, 2016, expecting about 50 awards, aimed at sustaining and coordinating STD surveillance efforts across participating awardees with CDC collaboration and oversight typical of a cooperative agreement.
