Rfa-Tp-18-000

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, is offering funding through Cooperative Agreement RFA-TP-18-000 to support public health programs and initiatives that align with injury prevention and control research. This opportunity falls under the Assistance Listings number 93.136, which focuses on Injury Prevention and Control Research and State and Community Based Programs. The program emphasizes a discretionary funding model designed to provide flexibility to eligible recipients for implementation of relevant health-focused projects. The funding opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement, which means there will be substantial involvement from CDC staff in the planning and implementation of funded activities. The program is aimed at supporting a broad range of entities including state governments, universities, counties, small businesses, and nonprofit organizations. The goal is to leverage collaborative public health strategies to address injury prevention through data-driven initiatives, research, and applied practice models. Though the estimated total program funding and per-award ceilings are not currently specified, the program expects to issue up to 100 awards. The notice explicitly states that there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, reducing the financial burden on applicants. This makes the opportunity particularly accessible for smaller or resource-constrained applicants who may otherwise be disqualified by match funding requirements. Applications are accepted through Grants.gov, and the submission process follows standard federal grant application procedures. Interested parties must ensure their applications are complete and submitted by the final closing date of September 30, 2030. The original application window began on October 13, 2025. While no pre-application steps such as a letter of intent or concept paper are required, applicants are encouraged to review any associated documents and reach out to the listed program contact for clarification on submission specifics. Evaluation of submitted proposals will likely consider alignment with public health priorities, scientific merit, and the capacity of the applicant to execute the project effectively in partnership with the CDC. While no detailed review criteria are explicitly stated in the synopsis, typical federal grants under this agency often consider factors like feasibility, impact, and public health relevance. For additional assistance, applicants can contact Linton C. Browning, the designated Grants Management Specialist, via email at lbrowning@cdc.gov or by phone at 770-488-2756.
