Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Strengthening a network of immunization programs to support the NCIRD mission to prevent disease through immunization" (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA IP14-1402), is a CDC discretionary cooperative agreement designed to build and operate a strong, coordinated national network for immunization program leadership. The central aim is to develop, enhance, and manage an organizational network that links federally funded immunization programs and supports federal, state, and local efforts to improve the performance and consistency of immunization systems across the country. The network is intended to help immunization program managers learn from one another, share technical expertise, and respond more effectively to ongoing challenges, including frequent program and policy changes, while improving their ability to meet measurable outcomes tied to the Immunization and Vaccines for Children (VFC) Program Cooperative Agreement (referenced as CDC RFA IP13-1301).
The project is structured around three core strategies. First, it emphasizes direct support to immunization program managers to strengthen day-to-day program practice, meaning the practical skills, tools, and approaches managers use to run effective immunization programs. Second, it calls for identifying, packaging, and broadly sharing promising, useful, and successful practices so that effective solutions developed in one place can be adopted and adapted elsewhere, rather than leaving programs to solve common problems in isolation. Third, it prioritizes mentoring and leadership development, recognizing that sustaining strong immunization systems depends on building the next generation of leaders and supporting current managers through coaching, peer mentorship, and professional development opportunities. Together, these strategies are meant to create a feedback-rich community of practice that improves program quality, accelerates learning, and strengthens leadership capacity nationwide.
From an administrative and funding standpoint, the award is offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the CDC expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond standard grant oversight. The opportunity falls under the health activity category and is associated with CFDA number 93.185 (Immunization Research, Demonstration, Public Information and Education; Training and Clinical Skills Improvement Projects). The CDC anticipated making one award under this announcement. Estimated total funding was $900,000, with an award ceiling of $700,000 and an award floor of $100,000, and there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement.
Eligibility is narrowly targeted to ensure the recipient can truly function as a national convening organization for immunization program leadership. Applicants had to be a national nonprofit organization with 501(c)(3) IRS status, maintain active membership with at least one member in each of the 50 states, and have a primary constituency of state immunization program managers. In practice, that eligibility profile points to organizations that already serve as a national home for state immunization program leaders and can rapidly mobilize communications, peer learning, and leadership development at scale.
Key dates and logistics show this was a time-limited, competitive federal funding opportunity posted on May 2, 2014, with applications due July 2, 2014 by 11:59 p.m. U.S. Eastern Time via Grants.gov. No letter of intent deadline was required. The CDC offered an informational conference call for potential applicants on June 6, 2014 (2 p.m. to 3 p.m. Eastern), with dial-in details provided in the announcement. The opportunity later archived on August 1, 2014, indicating it is no longer active.
Overall, the opportunity is best understood as an investment in national infrastructure for immunization program management: not funding vaccine purchase or direct service delivery, but strengthening the management network, knowledge exchange, practice improvement, and leadership pipeline that help state and local immunization programs function more effectively and consistently, and better achieve federally defined objectives under the broader Immunization and VFC cooperative agreement framework.
