Opportunity Summary:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) funding opportunity titled "Surveillance Program Announcement Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System" is a continuation cooperative agreement intended to support ongoing public health surveillance activities through the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS). The award sits within CDC's Office of Surveillance, Epidemiology, and Laboratory Services (OSELS), specifically the Public Health Surveillance Program Office (PHSPO), and the announcement notes that it is targeted to Pacific jurisdictions only. The overall focus is public health surveillance, meaning the funded work is meant to help jurisdictions collect, manage, and use population-based data that inform prevention programs and health policy decisions.
This is a continuation funding opportunity rather than a new, open competition. Eligibility is limited to grantees that were previously awarded funding under the earlier related announcement, "CDC RFA SO11-1102 Surveillance Program Announcement Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System." In practical terms, that means only existing BRFSS awardees under that specific predecessor funding opportunity can apply for or receive these continuation funds, and the announcement is not meant for new applicants seeking to start a BRFSS program for the first time. The eligible applicant category is listed as "Others," with clarification provided in the eligibility text that restricts eligibility to those prior grantees.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by CDC in the funded activities compared with a standard grant. While the announcement text provided does not spell out specific program requirements or work plan elements, cooperative agreements in surveillance settings commonly involve CDC technical assistance, reporting expectations, and alignment with national surveillance standards so that data are comparable across jurisdictions. The activity category is listed as "Health," consistent with BRFSS being a core public health monitoring system.
CDC anticipated making three awards under this continuation action. The opportunity lists two CFDA numbers: 93.283 (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Investigations and Technical Assistance) and 93.988 (Cooperative Agreements for State-Based Diabetes Control Programs and Evaluation of Surveillance Systems). No cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated, meaning applicants are not required to contribute non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award based on the information provided.
Key administrative dates show this was posted and created on January 18, 2012, with an original and current closing date of January 20, 2012, and an archive date of February 19, 2012. The very short application window is consistent with a continuation action aimed at existing grantees rather than a broad, competitive solicitation open for weeks or months.
