The funding opportunity titled RFA-IP-18-000 is issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention - ERA, which is part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The CDC is a national public health institute and the lead federal agency for protecting the health and safety of people in the United States. This opportunity reflects the CDC's ongoing commitment to public health through discretionary cooperative agreements that fund injury prevention and control research and community-based programs.
The primary purpose of this grant is related to the health sector, focusing on injury prevention and control research, as indicated by its Assistance Listing (93.136). The CDC expects up to 100 awards under this opportunity, although no specific funding ceiling, floor, or total program funding amount has been announced, suggesting a flexible and potentially variable budget dependent on the nature and scale of applications received. This may also indicate that the grant is intended more for administrative or incremental support through Type 6 Applications, which typically denote continuation or supplemental funding.
Eligible applicants for this funding opportunity include a diverse array of institutions: state governments, universities, county governments, small businesses, and nonprofit organizations. These categories are collectively referred to under “Others,” and eligibility may include a broader interpretation pending further context in the full funding announcement.
Applications for this opportunity are accepted until October 13, 2025, with the notice originally posted on October 20, 2023. There is no indication of a rolling deadline, nor is there a pre-application or LOI deadline mentioned. The award does not require cost sharing or matching funds, allowing more flexibility for prospective grantees, particularly smaller institutions or community-based organizations with limited budgets.
Application and grant management inquiries can be directed to Linton C. Browning, the listed Grants Management Specialist. He is reachable via phone at 770-488-2756 or by email at lbrowning@cdc.gov.
