Opportunity Summary:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through its Procurement and Grants Office, issued a discretionary funding opportunity announcement (FOA) titled "The Incidence and Etiology of Influenza Associated Pneumonia in Hospitalized Persons (U18)" under Funding Opportunity Number RFA-IP-09-001. The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement (U18), which generally means CDC expects to have substantial involvement with awardees during the project period, such as collaborating on study design elements, data standards, and public health coordination rather than operating as a purely hands-off funder.
The core aim of the opportunity is to support research institutions in determining both the incidence (how often it occurs) and the etiology (the causes and contributing pathogens) of pneumonia among hospitalized patients, with an emphasis on pneumonia associated with influenza. In practical terms, this kind of work typically involves identifying hospitalized pneumonia cases, testing for influenza and other respiratory pathogens, and carefully characterizing which infections are driving severe disease. The public health value is that better measurement of influenza-associated pneumonia helps refine disease burden estimates, improve clinical and surveillance definitions, and inform prevention strategies such as vaccination policy, antiviral use, and hospital preparedness planning during influenza seasons.
CDC anticipated making between two and five awards, with an expected awards figure listed as five. The FOA materials indicate an estimated total funding amount of about $2,000,000 in the source data fields, while the narrative description states approximately $4,000,000 would be available in fiscal year 2009 to fund two to five awards. The maximum funding per award (award ceiling) is listed as $1,000,000, with no specified minimum (award floor of $0). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning it is broadly open to many types of applicant organizations, subject to any clarifications that would have appeared in the full FOA text. The activity category is Health, and the program is associated with CFDA number 93.185, "Immunization Research, Demonstration, Public Information and Education; Training and Clinical Skills Improvement Projects," reflecting CDCs broader immunization and infectious disease research mission that connects influenza prevention efforts with serious outcomes like pneumonia hospitalization.
Key dates for the competition were posted and managed over the winter of 2008-2009. The posted date was December 19, 2008, and the application due date (original and current closing date) was February 17, 2009, with applications due by 5:00 PM Eastern Time. The archive date is listed as March 19, 2009. CDC indicated an estimated funding date prior to July 1, 2009, which signals the agency intended to make selections and start projects before the middle of that year to align with fiscal-year planning and upcoming respiratory disease seasons.
Applicants were directed to consult the full announcement on the CDC funding opportunity website for complete program details, requirements, and application instructions. For access issues, the contact listed was PGO TIMS at 770-488-2700, with a PGO TIM contact email referenced in the notice.
