Opportunity Summary:
This CDC funding opportunity (CDC RFA EH11-1110) was a discretionary cooperative agreement designed to strengthen the United States' environmental public health capacity by helping national, nonprofit, and professional public health organizations advance a "Health in All Policies" approach. In practical terms, the program aimed to make sure health considerations are more routinely built into decisions that are often made outside of traditional public health settings, such as transportation planning, education policy, housing and community development, environmental regulation, and related fields. The central idea is that many of the strongest drivers of health and exposure risk are shaped by policies and systems that are not labeled as "public health," so the program invested in organizations that could bridge that gap and bring credible public health knowledge into those conversations.
The work funded under this opportunity focused heavily on education, outreach, and capacity building. Recipients were expected to educate decision makers, influential stakeholders, and community audiences about environmental public health issues and the prevention of harmful exposures. Alongside education, awardees were expected to provide technical assistance, tools, resources, and training opportunities to stakeholders at the federal, state, and local levels. A key emphasis was on engaging "nontraditional partners," meaning organizations whose primary mission is not public health but whose work intersects with it. Examples listed include education organizations, transportation organizations, environmental organizations, health care organizations, faith-based and community organizations, and other federal or tribal agencies. By supporting these cross-sector partnerships, the program sought to expand the reach of environmental public health beyond health departments alone and improve how communities identify, prevent, and respond to environmental hazards.
Administratively, the award mechanism was a cooperative agreement, which typically means CDC expected substantial involvement beyond simply issuing funds, often through collaboration, guidance, or shared planning with awardees. The opportunity was listed under CFDA 93.070 (Environmental Public Health and Emergency Response). CDC anticipated making up to four awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $2,000,000. The published award ceiling was $200,000, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement, lowering the barrier for organizations that might not have access to non-federal matching funds.
Eligibility was broad and included a wide range of organizational types that could contribute to national capacity-building and cross-sector engagement. Eligible applicants included nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education under that specific nonprofit category), small/minority/women-owned businesses, universities and colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based and faith-based organizations, and numerous tribal entities (federally or state recognized tribal governments, tribally designated organizations, Alaska Native health corporations, urban Indian health organizations, tribal epidemiology centers). State and local governments were also eligible, including U.S. territories and freely associated states listed in the announcement. Political subdivisions of states could apply in consultation with states. The notice also allowed applications from "bona fide agents" applying on behalf of a state or local government, but required a legal, binding agreement documenting that status to be submitted with the application.
The timeline reflects that this was a 2011 funding cycle that has since been archived. The opportunity was posted May 2, 2011, with an optional letter of intent due May 17, 2011, and full applications due June 16, 2011 by 5:00 pm Eastern. The archive date was July 16, 2011. For applicant support at the time, the CDC Procurement and Grants Office TIMS contact information was provided (phone 770-488-2700; email PGOTIM@cdc.gov) for assistance accessing the full announcement.
Overall, the grant can be summarized as a CDC investment in national-level organizations that can translate environmental public health science into practical guidance, training, and partnership-building, with the explicit goal of embedding health considerations into everyday policy and operational decisions across many sectors. The intended outcome was a stronger national ability to promote healthier, safer environments and to prevent or reduce harmful environmental exposures by improving coordination, awareness, and action among both traditional public health stakeholders and partners who shape the conditions that influence exposure and health.
