Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA OT18 18020402SUPP21
This grant opportunity is a CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) supplemental funding announcement designed specifically for organizations that already received awards under Funding Strategy 1 of the earlier CDC-RFA-OT18-1802 program, titled "Strengthening Public Health Systems and Services through National Partnerships to Improve and Protect the Nation's Health." In practical terms, it is not a brand-new open competition for first-time applicants; it is a continuation-style supplement meant to extend or deepen work that was originally funded in FY18. The overall intent is to reinforce national public health infrastructure by supporting capacity-building assistance (CBA) that helps public health agencies and partners deliver essential services more effectively, and to make the public health system more skilled, up to date, and better connected.
The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the CDC expects to have substantial involvement with recipients during implementation (for example, collaboration on program direction, technical input, or coordination requirements) rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal engagement. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding in the health area and is administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the CDC's Office of State, Tribal, Local and Territorial Support (OSTLTS). The CFDA program numbers listed for this opportunity are 93.421 and 93.430, which are identifiers used to track federal assistance programs.
Eligibility is primarily tied to prior participation: only organizations previously awarded under the referenced Funding Strategy 1 are positioned to apply for this supplemental round, and they must submit FY21 project plans that align with the same target population category and description for which they originally received funding in FY18. While the listing includes a broad set of eligible applicant types (state, county, and city or township governments; public and private institutions of higher education; nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status; and other eligible entities as clarified in the full notice), the key limiting factor in this supplement is being an existing recipient under the earlier award.
From a programmatic standpoint, the work supported by this supplement is aimed at strengthening the foundational capabilities of public health systems nationwide. The emphasis is on improving infrastructure and ensuring that the public health workforce and partner network are competent (skilled and prepared), current (using up-to-date practices and approaches), and connected (able to coordinate across agencies, jurisdictions, and sectors). The mechanism for achieving this is capacity-building assistance, which commonly includes activities like training and workforce development, technical assistance, development and dissemination of tools and guidance, peer learning opportunities, and other supports that help public health organizations improve performance and service delivery.
Administratively, the opportunity was created on April 21, 2021, with an application deadline of May 20, 2021. Applications needed to be successfully submitted through Grants.gov by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the deadline date. The posting indicates an expectation of about 40 awards. The award ceiling is listed as 0, which generally signals that the specific maximum funding level may not be stated in the summary field and would need to be confirmed in the full NOFO or related budget guidance for the supplement.
In short, this supplemental cooperative agreement funding is meant to help previously funded national partners continue and expand CDC-aligned capacity-building work that strengthens public health systems, improves the delivery of essential public health services, and supports a more coordinated and resilient public health infrastructure across the country.Apply for CDC RFA OT18 18020402SUPP21
