About this opportunity
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is seeking applicants for a cooperative agreement to extend the World Trade Center (WTC) Health Registry, a comprehensive database tracking the health impacts of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. The primary objectives include continuing health surveillance, conducting research on physical and mental health effects, supporting community activities, and maintaining a treatment referral program for individuals exposed to the WTC disaster. Eligible applicants include state and local governments, public and private educational institutions, nonprofits, and other specified organizations. The grant will be evaluated through a two-level merit review process, assessing scientific merit, program priorities, and potential impact. The application deadline is February 20, 2026, with an optional letter of intent due on January 22, 2026.
The total estimated funding for this opportunity is $47.4 million, to be awarded over a five-year period. The current WTC Health Registry includes over 71,000 individuals and will continue to provide a central, unified database for assessing long-term health effects. The cooperative agreement will involve substantial CDC programmatic involvement, with recipients responsible for initiating collaborations, attending research meetings, and submitting manuscripts summarizing research findings. The project will be primarily performed in New York City, focusing on monitoring and researching the ongoing health consequences for 9/11 disaster responders and survivors.
Synopsis
In 2002, the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) and the New York City Health Department established the World Trade Center (WTC) Health Registry with the goal of monitoring the health of people directly exposed to the 9/11 WTC disaster. The purpose of this announcement is to solicit meritorious and scientifically rigorous research applications that address the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act mandate to extend the Registry developed and managed by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in a cooperative agreement with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This will ensure ongoing data collection for victims of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the WTC. The WTC Health Registry will continue to provide a central, unified database to assess long-term health and well-being effects among persons exposed to the 9/11 WTC disaster. The Registry identifies long-term physical and mental health effects of the 9/11 WTC disaster; disseminates findings and recommendations to enrollees and others exposed, the public, and the scientific community; shares information about 9/11 related resources and services; and informs healthcare policy and disaster response planning.
