Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "Study to Assess the Incidence of Type 1 Diabetes in Young Adults" (Funding Opportunity Number RFA DP 16 005) is a discretionary public health grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (HHS-CDC, HHSCDCERA). It uses a cooperative agreement funding instrument, which generally means the CDC expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds, such as collaborating on technical approaches, surveillance design, evaluation methods, and dissemination of findings. The overall goal is to support a study that will develop, implement, and evaluate a surveillance system capable of measuring the incidence of type 1 diabetes among young adults ages 20 to 45 in the United States, addressing a gap in population-level monitoring for this age group.
The core purpose of the project is surveillance system development and assessment. In practical terms, the funded recipient is expected to build a workable approach for identifying and counting new cases (incidence) of type 1 diabetes in adults aged 20 to 45, then run the system and evaluate how well it performs. That implies attention to issues like how cases will be detected and confirmed, what data sources will be used (for example, clinical records or other reporting streams), how duplicates and misclassification will be handled, and how completeness and accuracy will be evaluated. The emphasis on evaluating the surveillance system signals that the CDC is not only interested in estimates of incidence, but also in whether the method is reliable, scalable, and appropriate for ongoing use or broader replication.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of organizations that could feasibly run a large surveillance effort. Eligible applicants include state, county, city or township, and special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments and other tribal organizations; nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions for those nonprofit categories); for-profit organizations other than small businesses; and small businesses. This wide eligibility suggests the CDC anticipated that the strongest applicant could come from a public health department, a university-based research and surveillance team, a large health system partner, or a specialized organization with access to relevant data and the capacity to manage a multi-step surveillance and evaluation project.
Financially, the opportunity lists an award ceiling of $1,000,000 and anticipates making one award, indicating a single, relatively substantial project intended to serve as the key effort under this FOA rather than multiple smaller projects in different locations. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 93.068, and the funding activity category is Health. The opportunity was created and posted on December 18, 2015, with an original and current closing date of February 23, 2016, reflecting a defined application window typical of targeted CDC initiatives.
In short, this FOA funded one cooperative agreement to create and test a U.S. surveillance approach focused specifically on new-onset type 1 diabetes among adults ages 20 to 45. The central deliverable is not just a dataset or a one-time estimate, but an implemented and evaluated surveillance system that can credibly quantify incidence in this population and potentially inform future monitoring, research, and public health planning.
