Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "To Strengthen Collaboration between CDC and the National TB Controllers and the National TB Nurse Coalition Project" is a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (HHS-CDC). It is issued under Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA PS12-1205SUPP16 and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which typically means the CDC expects to have substantial involvement in the funded activities rather than acting only as a pass-through funder. The program falls under the health funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 93.947, which aligns with CDC public health efforts focused on tuberculosis.
The basic purpose of the opportunity is to support work that strengthens coordination and collaboration between the CDC and two key national partners in tuberculosis control: the National TB Controllers and the National TB Nurse Coalition. In practical terms, this kind of project usually emphasizes improving communication channels, aligning priorities, sharing best practices, and supporting consistent implementation of TB prevention and control strategies across jurisdictions and professional groups. By focusing on both TB controllers (often state and local program leadership) and TB nursing stakeholders (frontline clinical and case management professionals), the project is positioned to reinforce both programmatic and clinical coordination, which is critical in TB control where contact investigations, treatment adherence, case management, and surveillance depend heavily on well-integrated teams.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofits that do not have a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education. That restriction is notable because it narrows the applicant pool to specific nonprofit entities that meet the stated classification, suggesting the CDC may be targeting a particular type of organization structure that already plays a convening or coalition role nationally. The announcement anticipates a single award, indicating that the CDC likely intends to fund one organization to serve as the central coordinating entity for the collaboration and related activities.
Funding is relatively modest, with an award ceiling of $50,000 and an expected number of awards listed as 1. The closing date for applications was March 28, 2016 (the original and current closing dates match), and the opportunity was created and posted on February 12, 2016. The short posting-to-deadline window and the single expected award often indicate a targeted supplement or narrowly scoped support action rather than a broad, open-ended competition. Overall, the opportunity is structured to provide focused resources to strengthen national-level TB program collaboration between CDC leadership and key professional and program networks, with the goal of improving coordination that can translate into more consistent and effective TB control practices.
