Opportunity Summary:
The World Trade Center Health Program Outreach and Education Plan grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA OH12-1201) was a CDC discretionary funding announcement using a cooperative agreement mechanism to support outreach and education for people affected by the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in New York City. Its central goal was to help ensure that eligible responders and survivors in NYC were reached with clear, practical information and assistance related to the World Trade Center (WTC) Health Program, including how to engage with program services and supports. The intended audiences were defined broadly: responders included emergency responders as well as recovery and cleanup workers who took part in the response effort, while survivors included residents, building occupants, and area workers whose health and well-being were adversely affected by the attacks. The announcement explicitly noted that responders connected to the Shanksville, Pennsylvania and Arlington, Virginia (Pentagon) sites were not the focus of this particular solicitation and would be addressed in a future outreach and education announcement or otherwise handled by NIOSH.
From a funding and scale perspective, CDC anticipated making about 10 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $3,000,000. Individual awards could be as high as $350,000, and there was no stated minimum award amount (award floor listed as $0). The opportunity fell under CFDA 93.262 (Occupational Safety and Health Program) and did not require cost sharing or matching, which typically lowers barriers for organizations that can deliver strong community-facing outreach but may not have resources to provide matching funds.
The eligibility criteria were intentionally wide to encourage proposals from many types of entities positioned to reach affected communities. Eligible applicants included nonprofits (with or without 501(c)(3) status), for-profit organizations (including small, minority-, and women-owned businesses), universities and colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based and faith-based organizations, and multiple forms of tribal organizations and governments (including federally or state recognized tribes, tribal epidemiology centers, Alaska Native health corporations, and Urban Indian health organizations). State and local governments and their bona fide agents were also eligible, including U.S. territories and freely associated states listed in the notice. For applicants seeking to apply as a bona fide agent on behalf of a state or local government, the announcement required formal documentation: a legal, binding agreement from the relevant government entity had to be submitted with the application as proof of that status.
In terms of timing, the notice was posted on May 23, 2012. A letter of intent was due June 7, 2012, and the application deadline was July 6, 2012, with the opportunity later archived on August 5, 2012. For administrative and technical help accessing the full announcement, CDC directed applicants to the CDC Procurement and Grants Office TIMS (770-488-2700, PGOTIM@cdc.gov).
Overall, the opportunity was designed to fund organizations that could actively connect NYC responders and survivors to the WTC Health Program through targeted outreach and education, using a cooperative agreement approach that typically involves close collaboration with CDC during planning and implementation to ensure activities align with federal program goals and community needs.
