Strengthening the Nation’s Public Health System through a National Voluntary Accreditation | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

This grant opportunity, titled "Strengthening the Nation's Public Health System through a National Voluntary Accreditation," is a continuation funding announcement from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (HHS-CDC). It is issued under Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA OT13 130104CONT16 and is designed to continue supporting work that advances a national, voluntary accreditation approach for public health systems. The central idea behind the opportunity is to improve the performance and consistency of public health agencies by encouraging adoption of nationally recognized standards and by supporting the infrastructure needed to make accreditation workable at scale. In practice, national voluntary accreditation efforts typically focus on strengthening quality improvement processes, boosting accountability, standardizing essential public health services, and helping agencies demonstrate capacity to protect and improve community health.

The mechanism for funding is a Cooperative Agreement, which generally means the CDC expects to have substantial involvement in the funded project rather than simply providing funds with minimal federal engagement. Cooperative agreements often involve ongoing collaboration, technical assistance, shared planning, and performance monitoring between the recipient and the agency. The activity category is Health, and the CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number listed is 93.097, indicating the programmatic classification under which the support is organized. The opportunity is categorized as a continuation, signaling it is intended to extend or maintain an existing program effort rather than launch an entirely new initiative, and it was created and posted on March 17, 2016.

Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with the note that applicants should consult the additional eligibility information referenced in the full announcement text. In many CDC continuation cooperative agreements tied to national systems work, eligible applicants may include national organizations, non-profits, academic institutions, or other entities with demonstrated experience building or administering accreditation or performance improvement frameworks across jurisdictions. The announcement does not provide those specifics in the summary fields, but it clearly points to additional eligibility guidance in the full notice.

Key timing details are straightforward: both the original and current closing dates are April 20, 2016, meaning the submission deadline did not change from the initial posting. The summary fields do not list an award ceiling, and the award ceiling is shown as 0, which usually indicates that a fixed maximum amount was not captured in this abbreviated data extract or is defined elsewhere in the full funding announcement or continuation documentation. Similarly, the number of expected awards is not provided in the extracted fields, suggesting those details either vary by continuation recipient status or are specified in the full application package. Overall, the opportunity reflects CDC's continued investment in a national accreditation system as a lever to strengthen public health practice, improve system performance, and support measurable, standards-based improvement across the public health enterprise.
