Opportunity Summary:

This funding opportunity is a CDC supplemental cooperative agreement (CDC RFA MN11 11010301SUPP13) designed to expand an existing undergraduate public health pipeline program originally funded under FOA MN11-1101. The main goal is to strengthen pathways for underrepresented undergraduate students to enter graduate schools of public health, while also building early, practical exposure to public health science and research. A central emphasis is giving students hands-on familiarity with multiple research methodologies across key public health disciplines where these students have historically been underrepresented in the workforce, including biostatistics, epidemiology, environmental health, minority health and health disparities, and occupational safety and health.

The program is structured around three core objectives. First, it aims to better prepare underrepresented students for graduate-level public health education by offering a comprehensive educational training program that covers public health science fundamentals as well as focused content on minority health and health disparities. Second, it seeks to enhance students research skills through mentored public health research experiences, pairing students with guidance and supervision intended to build real competency in research thinking and practice. Third, it aims to increase interest and motivation among underrepresented students to pursue careers in public health science, essentially treating early exposure, mentorship, and skill-building as levers to improve both recruitment into graduate programs and long-term participation in public health research careers.

Administratively, this is a continuation/supplemental opportunity (not a new standalone competition) and uses a cooperative agreement mechanism, meaning CDC would likely have substantial involvement consistent with that instrument type. The total estimated funding is listed as $218,000, with an award floor of $55,000 and an award ceiling of $500,000, and CDC anticipated making about four awards. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The CFDA listing associated with this opportunity is 93.283 (CDC Investigations and Technical Assistance).

Eligibility is limited to specific current recipients already funded under CDC RFA MN11-1101: Morehouse College, Columbia University, Kennedy Krieger Institute, and the University of Michigan. In addition to being current awardees, applicants are expected to have established collaborations with other academic institutions that educate underrepresented students, and they must demonstrate an established track record of increasing representation of undergraduate students in public health. In practical terms, the supplement is meant to build on proven infrastructure and partnerships that are already in place, rather than creating new programs from scratch.

Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on August 2, 2013, with an original and current closing date of September 3, 2013, and an archive date of October 3, 2013. For assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed contact is CDC/PGO at 770-488-2700 or pgotim@cdc.gov.
