Opportunity Summary:
This CDC funding opportunity (CDC-RFA-GH11-1101) is a discretionary cooperative agreement aimed at strengthening continuing education for Field Epidemiology (Laboratory) Training Programs, commonly referred to as FE(L)TPs, by creating training materials that can be delivered through web-based options. The central goal is to support and expand the professional development of the public health workforce across South and Central America and the Caribbean. In practice, the project is about designing and packaging continuing education content that regional and national FE(L)TPs can use to train epidemiologists and laboratory-focused public health professionals, with an emphasis on materials that work well in online or web-enabled formats.
Funding is set up as a single-award competition. CDC anticipated making one award with a total estimated amount of $250,000 in fiscal year 2011, and the funding level is fixed in the announcement with an award floor and ceiling both listed at $250,000. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the awardee should expect substantial involvement from CDC in carrying out the work, such as collaboration on technical direction, review of deliverables, alignment with CDC priorities, and coordination with regional partners or existing FE(L)TP structures.
The announcement was posted on March 19, 2010, with an application closing date of May 19, 2010, and an archive date of June 18, 2010. The activity category is Health, and the CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 93.283 (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Investigations and Technical Assistance). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of organizations that could realistically develop and deploy training content at scale. Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations (both with and without 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education when specifically noted), for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profits), universities and colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based and faith-based organizations, and U.S. state and local governmental entities. The eligibility list also explicitly includes tribal governments and tribal health and epidemiology organizations (such as tribal epidemiology centers), as well as urban Indian health organizations and Alaska Native health corporations. Importantly, non-U.S. (non-domestic) entities are also eligible, reflecting the regional focus outside the continental United States. The announcement also allows applications from bona fide agents of state or local governments, but those applicants must provide a formal letter documenting their bona fide agent status, submitted as part of the application package.
From a deliverables standpoint, the opportunity is centered on the development of continuing education and training materials tailored to FE(L)TP audiences and settings, with a clear preference for web-based delivery options. That implies outputs such as structured curricula, modular training units, instructor and participant guides, practical exercises and case studies, and digital-ready materials that can be hosted or delivered online. The regional emphasis suggests that materials would need to be appropriate for different national program contexts and potentially adaptable for multiple countries, languages, and public health system realities within South and Central America and the Caribbean.
For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, the CDC Procurement and Grants Office Technical Information Management Section (TIMS) is listed as the point of contact, with phone number 770-488-2700.
