Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "To Strengthen Collaboration between CDC and the National TB Controllers and the National TB Nurse Coalition" (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA PS12-1205) was a CDC discretionary funding announcement designed to reinforce and organize nationwide coordination among the United States tuberculosis control leadership and TB nursing professionals. The central idea behind the award was to strengthen the working connection between CDC and the core groups responsible for day-to-day TB prevention and control activities across jurisdictions, so that the TB field could respond quickly to emerging needs and keep national elimination efforts aligned with realities on the ground.
A major focus of the opportunity was sustaining an ongoing national capacity to rapidly and comprehensively assess problems and opportunities in TB prevention and control. In practical terms, this means supporting a structure that can quickly gather information from TB programs and TB nursing professionals, identify what is changing in the field, and translate that into a coherent picture of needs, barriers, and potential improvements. That rapid assessment function is especially important in TB work, where program conditions can shift due to outbreaks, changing patterns of drug resistance, diagnostic advances, evolving treatment guidance, or operational challenges such as staffing shortages and funding constraints.
The announcement also emphasized maintaining the ability to coordinate consultations and collaborations that produce a "front line perspective" on fast-moving issues affecting TB elimination. This is essentially a commitment to keeping decision-making informed by people doing the work in clinics, health departments, hospitals, and community settings. The consultations and collaborations described in the announcement are meant to help CDC and partners stay current on programmatic issues (how TB services are organized and delivered), scientific issues (evidence, guidelines, and research findings), and technological issues (diagnostics, reporting systems, and other tools) that influence progress toward TB elimination. By building a reliable mechanism for two-way communication and coordinated discussion, the effort aims to shorten the gap between national strategy and local implementation.
Another key purpose was to assist in identifying TB training needs. TB prevention and control depends on a specialized workforce that includes clinicians, nurses, public health staff, outreach workers, and program managers. Training needs can change as recommendations evolve, new tools become available, or workforce experience levels shift. This grant sought to support the ability to detect where training gaps exist, prioritize them, and help guide development or coordination of relevant training approaches, with particular attention to the needs identified by TB controllers and TB nurses who are directly involved in patient care, case management, contact investigations, and program operations.
Finally, the opportunity called for continuing the capacity to catalog and track the public and private assets that support the nation’s TB elimination effort. This refers to maintaining an organized picture of the resources available across the TB landscape, including programs, partners, and capabilities in both government and non-government settings. Having an updated inventory of assets can help avoid duplication, reveal gaps, support faster mobilization during urgent events, and strengthen collaboration between public health agencies, healthcare systems, academic partners, and community organizations involved in TB work.
Administratively, the award mechanism was a cooperative agreement, meaning CDC expected to have substantial involvement in the work rather than acting only as a funder. The program fell under the health activity category and was associated with CFDA 93.947, "Tuberculosis Demonstration, Research, Public and Professional Education." CDC anticipated making one award. The estimated total funding amount was $1,150,000, with an award ceiling of $230,000 and no cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was posted on March 30, 2012, with an original and current closing date of May 30, 2012, and it was archived on June 29, 2012.
Eligibility was broad and included public and private nonprofit organizations, for-profit organizations, small/minority/women-owned businesses, universities, colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based and faith-based organizations, federally recognized tribal governments and tribal organizations, and U.S. state and local governments (including U.S. territories and affiliated jurisdictions). Political subdivisions of U.S. states could apply in consultation with states. The announcement also allowed applications from bona fide agents of state or local governments, provided documentation (a letter confirming that status) was included with the application.
The sponsoring agency was the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. For applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement, the listed contact was the CDC Procurement and Grants Office (PGO) at 770-488-2700 and pgotim@cdc.gov.
