Injury Prevention and Control Research and State and Community Based Programs - RFA-DD-18-000

The funding opportunity RFA-DD-18-000 is administered by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The CDC, as a leading public health institution, manages numerous cooperative agreements aimed at advancing public health outcomes through research, education, and community-based initiatives. This specific funding opportunity is classified under discretionary funding and utilizes the cooperative agreement instrument type, which indicates a substantial level of involvement from the CDC in project oversight and implementation. The primary focus of this opportunity lies within the Health category, and it is associated with the Assistance Listing number 93.136, which supports Injury Prevention and Control Research and State and Community-Based Programs. Although the detailed purpose and programmatic objectives are not outlined in the summary, the inclusion of this Assistance Listing suggests a focus on supporting projects that address injury prevention, particularly as it pertains to vulnerable populations or systemic public health challenges. Applications are expected to be submitted according to standard procedures, although no specific submission platform, components, or evaluation criteria are listed in the synopsis. This funding notice anticipates issuing up to 10 awards, although the estimated total program funding, award floor, and award ceiling are all currently listed as zero. These fields likely indicate placeholders or unfinalized details rather than literal funding values, thus requiring verification or reference to a full NOFO or PDF for final confirmation. No cost-sharing or matching requirement is imposed, simplifying access for many applicant types. The opportunity is open to a broad array of eligible entities, including states, universities, counties, small businesses, and nonprofit organizations. This inclusive eligibility list suggests that both public and private institutions are encouraged to apply. However, exact eligibility parameters, such as nonprofit designation types (e.g., 501(c)(3)), are not specified. Interested applicants are advised to contact the designated grant specialist for further clarification or to access the full funding announcement. The listed contact is Linton C. Browning, Grants Management Specialist at the CDC, who can be reached at 770-488-2756 or via email at lbrowning@cdc.gov. The opportunity was originally posted on October 13, 2023, and while the original application closing date was listed as October 13, 2025, the current closing date has been extended to September 30, 2030. This indicates a long application window, perhaps for a program that accepts applications in multiple cycles or on a rolling basis. The archive date is set for October 30, 2030, further confirming its extended timeline. There is no indication of pre-application requirements or specific performance periods, nor is there explicit mention of recurrence cadence. Applicants should consult the full announcement for more precise guidance on timelines, requirements, and program goals.
