- 1. Eligible Applicants State governments of Texas and California 2. Special Eligibility Requirements This project is dependent on the applicant actually having a at least one TB genotype cluster of 3 cases that meet the criteria for being at high risk of becoming an outbreak during the time frame of the project. Therefore, applicants must have had at least one cluster meeting these criteria per year during 2010 2012. CDC analysis of national data has identified two states that meet these eligibility criteria California and Texas.

Opportunity Summary:
The Tuberculosis Outbreak Prevention Feasibility Project (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA PS13 1314) was a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) discretionary funding opportunity offered as a cooperative agreement within the health category. The core aim was practical and prevention-focused: to design and test a repeatable process for intervening early in small tuberculosis (TB) genotype clusters that show signs they could grow into full outbreaks. In other words, instead of responding after an outbreak is already underway, the project was meant to build and refine an approach for stepping in sooner, when a cluster is still small but has a high likelihood of expanding, and then to judge whether that approach could realistically be scaled into a future national program.
Funding was limited and targeted. CDC anticipated making one award with an estimated total of $100,000, with an award ceiling of $100,000 and no required cost sharing or matching. The opportunity was tied to CFDA 93.116 (Project Grants and Cooperative Agreements for Tuberculosis Control Programs), reflecting its placement within CDCs broader TB control and prevention work, especially activities that rely on surveillance and genotyping to understand transmission patterns.
Eligibility was highly restricted based on epidemiologic evidence rather than broad organizational capacity. Only the state governments of California and Texas were eligible to apply. This restriction was driven by CDC analysis of national TB genotype data showing that these two states met the specific risk-based criteria during the relevant period. A key special eligibility requirement was that the applicant must actually have TB genotype cluster activity consistent with the projects purpose: at least one cluster of three TB cases meeting CDC criteria for being at high risk of becoming an outbreak during the project timeframe. To demonstrate that this was not a rare or one-off circumstance, applicants also needed to have had at least one such qualifying cluster per year during 2010 through 2012. The logic behind this requirement was straightforward: the project depended on having real, ongoing cluster situations where early intervention methods could be developed, applied, and assessed under real-world conditions.
From an administrative standpoint, the announcement was posted on March 13, 2013, and applications were due May 15, 2013, by 11:59 p.m. U.S. Eastern Time through Grants.gov. A letter of intent was explicitly not applicable. The opportunity later moved into archived status, with an archive date of June 14, 2013. For assistance accessing the full announcement, CDC directed applicants to the Procurement and Grants Office, Technical Information Management Section (TIMS), via the provided phone number.
Taken together, this grant opportunity can be understood as a focused pilot effort: one state-level award, limited funds, and a narrow eligibility pool chosen because of demonstrated patterns of small but potentially explosive TB transmission clusters. The larger public health goal was to learn, in a structured way, whether proactive interventions at the cluster stage can reliably prevent outbreaks and whether the resulting process could serve as the backbone of a broader national outbreak-prevention strategy.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What type of funding mechanism was used?
This opportunity was offered as a cooperative agreement.
What category does this opportunity fall under?
The opportunity is within the health category.
What was the main goal of the project?
The main goal was prevention-focused: to build and refine an approach for stepping in sooner, while a TB genotype cluster is still small but at high risk of expanding, rather than responding after an outbreak is already underway.
What does "feasibility" mean in the context of this project?
Feasibility refers to assessing whether the early-intervention approach could realistically be implemented and whether it could be scaled into a future national program.
How was this project intended to prevent TB outbreaks?
It aimed to prevent outbreaks by designing and testing a repeatable process to intervene early in small TB genotype clusters that meet CDC criteria for being at high risk of becoming an outbreak.
How many awards did CDC anticipate making?
CDC anticipated making one award.
What was the estimated total funding amount?
The estimated total funding amount was $100,000.
What was the award ceiling?
The award ceiling was $100,000.
Was cost sharing or matching required?
No. There was no required cost sharing or matching.
What CFDA number was this opportunity associated with?
This opportunity was tied to CFDA 93.116 (Project Grants and Cooperative Agreements for Tuberculosis Control Programs).
How does this opportunity relate to CDC's broader TB control work?
It reflects CDC's broader TB control and prevention activities, particularly efforts that rely on surveillance and genotyping to understand transmission patterns and identify clusters.
Who was eligible to apply?
Eligibility was restricted to the state governments of California and Texas.
Why were only California and Texas eligible?
CDC restricted eligibility because its analysis of national TB genotype data showed that California and Texas met the specific risk-based criteria during the relevant period.
Was eligibility based on organizational capacity or epidemiologic evidence?
Eligibility was highly restricted based on epidemiologic evidence rather than broad organizational capacity.
What special eligibility condition related to TB genotype clusters applied?
The applicant needed to have TB genotype cluster activity consistent with the project's purpose, including at least one cluster of three TB cases meeting CDC criteria for being at high risk of becoming an outbreak during the project timeframe.
Were applicants required to show prior qualifying cluster activity?
Yes. Applicants needed to have had at least one qualifying high-risk cluster per year during 2010 through 2012.
Why did applicants need to demonstrate qualifying clusters from 2010 through 2012?
The project depended on having real, ongoing cluster situations where early intervention methods could be developed, applied, and assessed under real-world conditions, rather than relying on rare or one-off events.
What is meant by intervening in "small TB genotype clusters"?
In this opportunity, it refers to focusing on clusters that are still small (including clusters of three TB cases) but meet CDC criteria indicating a high risk of expanding into an outbreak.
What was the intended outcome beyond the pilot project?
The larger goal was to learn whether proactive interventions at the cluster stage can reliably prevent outbreaks and whether the resulting process could serve as the backbone of a broader national outbreak-prevention strategy.
When was the funding announcement posted?
The announcement was posted on March 13, 2013.
What was the application due date and time?
Applications were due May 15, 2013, by 11:59 p.m. U.S. Eastern Time.

Is this opportunity still open?
No. The opportunity moved into archived status, with an archive date of June 14, 2013.
Where could applicants get help accessing the full announcement?
CDC directed applicants to the Procurement and Grants Office, Technical Information Management Section (TIMS), via the provided phone number.
