Opportunity Summary:
The Tourette Syndrome National Education and Outreach Program (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA DD10-1004) is a CDC discretionary funding opportunity offered through a cooperative agreement to support a single nationwide effort focused on improving education, training, and outreach related to Tourette Syndrome (TS). The central goal is to build and deliver evidence-based educational programs at both national and local levels so that TS is recognized earlier, diagnosed more accurately, treated using best practices, and understood more broadly by professionals and the public. By strengthening knowledge and practical skills across multiple settings, the program is intended to reduce stigma, improve access to quality services, and support better long-term outcomes for children and adults living with TS.
The funded work is expected to provide training and educational opportunities for several distinct audiences. A major focus is on medical and allied health professionals who are responsible for identifying TS, distinguishing it from similar conditions, and managing care over time. Educators are another core audience, reflecting the reality that many TS-related challenges show up in school settings where misunderstandings can lead to unnecessary discipline, academic disruption, or social isolation. The general public, including individuals and families affected by TS, is also explicitly included so that information reaches beyond clinical and professional environments and supports day-to-day life management. Across all audiences, the content should address appropriate diagnosis, common co-occurring conditions, best practices for treatment, and practical life management skills for both youth and adults.
The opportunity places real emphasis on how the education and outreach are delivered. Proposed activities should combine live components (such as in-person trainings, workshops, or presentations) with multimedia approaches (such as online modules, webinars, downloadable resources, videos, or other digital formats). This mix is meant to expand reach, reinforce learning, and make scientifically valid information accessible in ways that fit different communities and learning preferences. Another required element is dedicated attention to minority and underserved populations, meaning applicants should build outreach strategies that do not assume equal access to specialty care, technology, or TS-informed services, and should actively address gaps in awareness and support.
A significant requirement of the program is evaluation. Applicants are expected to include a plan to measure the impact of all proposed activities, not just in terms of whether information was distributed, but whether it changed knowledge and led to real changes in practice. That includes assessing improvements in clinical and educational decision-making after trainings, and documenting how effectively scientifically valid information was disseminated and adopted. The underlying expectation is that strong evaluation will show measurable progress toward better recognition and diagnosis of TS, reduced stigma, and improved quality and availability of healthcare and related supports for TS patients.
In terms of funding and structure, CDC anticipated one award with an estimated total funding amount of $2.4 million. The award ceiling was $800,000, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The program falls under CFDA 93.184 (Disabilities Prevention). The announcement was posted June 7, 2010, with an original and final closing date of July 7, 2010, and it was archived August 6, 2010.
Eligibility for this opportunity was broad and included many organization types: nonprofit organizations (with or without 501(c)(3) status, other than institutions of higher education), for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), universities and colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based and faith-based organizations, tribal governments and tribally designated organizations (including urban Indian health organizations and tribal epidemiology centers), and state and local governments. Non-U.S. entities were also listed as eligible. The notice also allowed applications from bona fide agents of state or local governments, but required formal documentation, specifically a letter from the relevant government entity confirming the applicant's status as a bona fide agent.
The sponsoring agency was the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. For assistance accessing the full announcement, the CDC Procurement and Grants Office was listed as the point of contact (770-488-2700, pgotim@cdc.gov).
