About this opportunity
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention within the Department of Health and Human Services is soliciting applications through cooperative agreement to fund innovative disease modeling approaches that inform global polio eradication efforts, with no stated hard deadline provided in this forecast announcement.
Eligible applicants include higher education institutions (public and private), tribal governments (federally recognized and non-federally recognized tribal organizations), for-profit organizations, nonprofits (501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3)), state and county governments, city and township governments, special district governments, independent school districts, public or Indian housing authorities, and small businesses.
The cooperative agreement will support modeling to inform strategies for circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus type 2 (cVDPV2) outbreak response, optimal surveillance following global wild-type poliovirus (WPV) eradication, and detection of containment breaches. Secondary objectives include assessing economic implications of outbreak response and surveillance strategies while building capacity in the public health workforce through training in statistical and mathematical modeling for polio and other vaccine-preventable diseases.
The program operates under CFDA 93.185 (Immunization Research, Demonstration, Public Information and Education Training and Clinical Skills Improvement Projects) administered by the CDC's Immunization Services Division and National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases. Performance periods run one to five years with initial 12-month budget periods. Non-competing continuation awards are available subject to satisfactory progress and fund availability. The program has historically distributed awards ranging from sub-million dollar research projects to multi-year, multi-million dollar infrastructure awards. Applications are evaluated on scientific and technical merit through objective or peer review, fund availability, and alignment with CDC priorities.
Forecast synopsis
This NOFO will provide critical disease modeling to inform decision making on the development of strategies for cVDPV2 outbreak response, optimal surveillance upon global WPV eradication, and surveillance to detect containment breaches. It will also build capacity for a diverse public health workforce of statistical and mathematical modelers. Additionally, models will assess economic implications of outbreak response and surveillance strategies, while developing workforce capacity for students in statistical and mathematical modeling for polio and other VPDs.
