About this opportunity

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is soliciting applications for cooperative agreements to establish Centers of Excellence in Healthcare Quality and Safety, a program forecasted to create collaborative networks of healthcare systems, facilities, and public health partners to detect, respond to, and prevent threats to patient and healthcare worker safety. This is a forecast announcement with no hard application deadline stated.

Eligible applicants include unrestricted categories: county and state governments, city and township governments, tribal governments (federally recognized and non-federally recognized), special district governments, public housing authorities, independent school districts, higher education institutions (public and private), 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) nonprofits, small businesses, and for-profit organizations.

The program will support healthcare systems encompassing multiple facilities across acute care hospitals (particularly community hospitals, critical access hospitals, and rural hospitals), long-term acute care hospitals, nursing homes, dialysis centers, emergency departments, urgent care centers, outpatient facilities, and home health providers. Individual applicants are not expected to possess all facility types. Healthcare systems must partner with public health departments and other entities with relevant expertise.

Applications requesting funding above the ceiling amount will be deemed non-responsive and excluded from review. No specific award ceiling, floor, number of awards, cost share requirement, period of performance, or evaluation criteria are specified in this forecast announcement.

The opportunity falls under CFDA 93.084 (Prevention of Disease, Disability, and Death by Infectious Diseases). CDC anticipates issuing detailed terms in a future Notice of Funding Opportunity, which will specify application deadlines, funding details, and review criteria.

The Program will include healthcare systems and facilities partnering with public health departments and other entities or groups with relevant expertise. However, each individual applicant is not expected to have all elements.
