Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Surveillance, Natural History, Quality of Care and Outcomes of Diabetes Mellitus with Onset in Childhood and Adolescence (U 18)" (Funding Opportunity Number RFA DP10-001) is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cooperative agreement focused on understanding diabetes that begins in childhood and adolescence, meaning diagnosis before age 20. The overall purpose is to strengthen population-based knowledge about how often youth diabetes occurs, how it changes over time, and what happens to people who develop diabetes early in life as they move through adolescence into young adulthood. The work is framed around producing reliable, actionable public health evidence, while emphasizing approaches that are efficient and relatively low-cost, especially for surveillance activities.
A core component of the opportunity is surveillance: applicants are expected to estimate temporal trends in diabetes incidence among U.S. youth, breaking results down by diabetes type and by race/ethnicity. In practical terms, this means building or using population-based case-finding and data systems that can track new diagnoses over time, not just single snapshots, and doing so in a way that can support ongoing monitoring. The program explicitly highlights the need for methods that are both effective and economical, signaling interest in surveillance strategies that can be sustained, replicated, and scaled without relying on extremely expensive data collection models.
A second major focus is the natural history and long-term impact of diabetes that starts early in life. The CDC is looking for studies that follow or assess individuals diagnosed in childhood or adolescence to understand outcomes over the longer term. This includes measuring health-related perceived quality of life, which brings patient-centered outcomes into the program rather than limiting it to clinical endpoints alone. The grant also calls for assessing the incidence of acute and chronic complications, along with identifying risk factors for those complications, again stratified by diabetes type and race/ethnicity. The emphasis on both complications and risk factors suggests that projects should not only document what problems occur, but also analyze why they occur and which groups are most affected, with the goal of informing prevention strategies and improving long-term management.
A third focus area targets the transition period when adolescents with diabetes become young adults and move from pediatric to adult healthcare settings. For young adults who developed diabetes earlier in life, the program aims to assess access to care and the quality of care during this transition. This is a well-known vulnerable period when continuity can break down, adherence can shift, and complications can emerge or accelerate. The opportunity indicates interest in understanding whether young adults are able to obtain appropriate adult specialty or primary care, how smoothly care is transferred, and what the quality of ongoing diabetes management looks like during and after the transition, potentially including gaps, disparities, and system-level barriers.
Administratively, this is a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement mechanism, which typically means CDC expects substantial involvement in the funded work beyond what occurs in a standard grant. The program anticipated about six awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $16,000,000. No cost sharing or matching is required. While award floor and ceiling are listed as $0 in the notice, that usually reflects how the announcement was posted rather than indicating that awards are unfunded; the total and expected number of awards provide the more meaningful scale.
Eligibility is broad and includes public and private nonprofit organizations, for-profit organizations (including small, minority-, and women-owned businesses), universities and colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based and faith-based organizations, tribal governments and tribal health entities, tribal epidemiology centers, urban Indian health organizations, Alaska Native health corporations, and state/local governments and their bona fide agents. The notice specifies that bona fide agents applying on behalf of a state or local government must provide documentation (a letter) confirming that status as part of the application. This wide eligibility signals that CDC is open to partnerships across academic, clinical, public health, and community/tribal systems, as long as applicants can credibly carry out population-based surveillance and outcomes research with appropriate expertise and infrastructure.
Key dates included a posted date of February 10, 2010, with an original closing date of March 17, 2010, later extended to April 30, 2010, and an archive date of May 30, 2010. The administering agency is CDC, and the CFDA number listed is 93.945 (Assistance Programs for Chronic Disease Prevention and Control). For help accessing the full announcement, the contact point was CDC PGOTIM, Technical Information Management Section (TIMS), at 770-488-2700.
Taken together, the opportunity is essentially seeking coordinated, population-based work that can answer three big public health questions: how youth diabetes incidence is changing over time and across demographic groups; what the long-term health and quality-of-life outcomes look like for people diagnosed early; and how well the healthcare system supports these individuals as they transition into adult care, including whether access and quality differ by diabetes type and race/ethnicity. The consistent thread across all aims is producing evidence that can guide prevention, clinical care planning, and equity-focused public health action for diabetes beginning in childhood and adolescence.

What age group does "U 18" refer to in the title?
Based on the description, the program focuses on diabetes with onset in childhood and adolescence and defines onset as diagnosis before age 20.
What are the main topic areas or components of the work?
The work is framed around three major areas: (1) surveillance of youth diabetes incidence over time, (2) natural history and long-term outcomes (including quality of life and complications), and (3) access to care and quality of care during the transition from pediatric to adult health care.
What does the program mean by "surveillance" in this context?
Surveillance refers to estimating temporal trends in diabetes incidence among U.S. youth using population-based case-finding and data systems that can track new diagnoses over time (not just one-time snapshots) and support ongoing monitoring.
What specific surveillance results are expected?
Applicants are expected to estimate temporal trends in diabetes incidence among U.S. youth, with results broken down by diabetes type and by race/ethnicity.
Does the opportunity emphasize any particular approach to surveillance?
Yes. The program emphasizes methods that are efficient and relatively low-cost, signaling interest in surveillance strategies that are sustainable, replicable, and scalable without relying on extremely expensive data collection models.
What does "natural history" mean for this opportunity?
Natural history refers to understanding the longer-term course and impact of diabetes that starts early in life, including outcomes as individuals age from adolescence into young adulthood.
