Opportunity Summary:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through its Procurement and Grants Office, released a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Virologic evaluation of the modes of influenza virus transmission among humans (U01)" under Funding Opportunity Number RFA IP 09 003. The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement (U01), which generally means the CDC anticipates having substantial involvement with the recipient during the project period rather than operating at arm's length like a standard grant. The core aim of the announcement is to support human-subject research that can more clearly determine how influenza viruses spread from person to person, using virologic approaches. In practical terms, the FOA is looking for studies in humans that can help distinguish and quantify the relative contribution of different transmission routes, such as contact transmission, droplet spread, and airborne/aerosol pathways, based on direct virologic evidence.
Funding is large and highly concentrated: the CDC planned to make a single award, with approximately $7,000,000 available in fiscal year 2009. The stated ceiling is also $7,000,000, with no formal floor listed, underscoring that this was structured as one major, flagship project rather than multiple smaller awards. The opportunity falls under the Health activity category and is associated with CFDA number 93.283 (CDC Investigations and Technical Assistance), signaling a focus on applied public health investigation and evidence generation that can inform guidance and interventions.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning the competition is open to a broad range of applicant organizations, subject to any further constraints that may have been specified in the full announcement. Notably, a cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated as "Yes," so applicants were expected to contribute resources beyond the federal funds, either in cash or allowable in-kind contributions, consistent with the detailed terms in the FOA.
The timeline reflects a fairly standard federal application window for that period. The FOA was posted on December 22, 2008, with an application due date of February 19, 2009, by 5:00 PM Eastern Time. The estimated award/funding decision timeframe was "prior to September 1, 2009." The opportunity was later archived on March 21, 2009, which typically means the submission window had closed and the listing was no longer active for new applications.
For applicants, the announcement directed readers to the CDC funding opportunities page for the full programmatic and administrative requirements, including the scientific scope, expected study design elements, reporting expectations, and the cooperative agreement terms that define CDC involvement. For technical issues accessing the announcement, the contact listed was PGO TIMS (telephone 770-488-2700), with an email contact referenced in the listing.
