Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA OT13 13020401SUPP17
This CDC opportunity is a supplemental cooperative agreement funding announcement designed specifically for a closed set of applicants: the 26 national, nonprofit professional public health organizations that were originally funded under CDC-RFA-OT13-1302 in FY2013. The goal of the supplement is to let those existing awardees submit new project plans (referred to as CIO Project Plans) that build on their earlier work, but only within the same target population category they were funded for previously. In practice, that means an organization funded under Category A, B, or C in 2013 must apply under that same category for this supplement.
At the center of the announcement is the idea of capacity building assistance (CBA) for the broader public health system. CDC uses a wide definition of the public health system that includes not only government public health agencies, but also the connected work of private and voluntary organizations and individuals. The intent is to strengthen the infrastructure that supports population health by improving how public health organizations function day to day and how they perform during urgent events. The supplement highlights needs tied to emergency preparedness and response, including improving systems for responding to Zika-related public health emergencies, strengthening evidence-based decision-making for health promotion and disease prevention, improving risk communication and evaluation, increasing epidemiology surge capacity for case identification and vector surveillance, building leaders capacity to respond strategically during emergencies, and improving quality systems in laboratories and information systems.
The announcement frames capacity building as more than training alone. It includes developing and strengthening people, organizations, and systems so public health entities can perform essential services more effectively. Examples of allowable or expected capacity-building approaches include technical assistance, training and continuing education, information sharing, technology transfer, developing tools and materials, and providing support that enables an organization to operate in a more comprehensive and responsive way. The overall program purpose is to optimize the quality and performance of public health systems, the public health workforce, data and information systems, public health practice and services, partnerships, and public health resources.
Funding is organized around three target population categories. Category A focuses on governmental public health departments themselves. Category B focuses on workforce segments that cut across governmental public health departments, emphasizing competency development and skills across the workforce rather than a single agency. Category C focuses on other governmental and nongovernmental components of the public health system, recognizing that many essential public health functions sit outside a traditional health department structure and still need coordination and strengthening.
Applicants are expected to show measurable progress on at least two outcomes that reflect stronger performance and modernization across the public health system. These outcomes include: adopting business process improvements that lead to administrative efficiencies or cost savings; expanding access to continuing education and training in public health competencies (including experiential learning such as internships and fellowships); incorporating core public health competencies into job descriptions and performance evaluations; integrating up-to-date technology into data collection and information systems; increasing implementation of evidence-based programs, policies, and services; improving capacity to meet nationally recognized standards such as health department accreditation; establishing and sustaining diverse partnerships that support evidence-based strategies (including work aligned with CDC Winnable Battles); and improving the quality, availability, and accessibility of public health education materials, training resources, and evaluation tools.
Program activities are grouped under six broad strategy areas that applicants may choose from based on the needs of their target populations: (1) public health systems and organizational improvement, (2) public health workforce, (3) public health data and information systems, (4) public health practice and services, (5) public health partnerships, and (6) public health resources, communication, and evaluation. CDC notes these strategies are grounded in national priorities and guidance, drawing from OSTLTS priorities and recommendations reflected in efforts like Healthy People 2020, Institute of Medicine work, and the National Prevention Strategy.
Eligibility is limited and specific. Only the previously funded 26 national nonprofit organizations may apply, and they must have IRS nonprofit status under 501(c)(3) or 501(c)(6) (excluding institutions of higher education). The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, indicating CDC expects substantial involvement and partnership during implementation rather than a hands-off grant.
