About this opportunity
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is seeking applications for the State Biomonitoring Programs: Assessing Disproportionate Exposure to Environmental Chemicals among Communities cooperative agreement. Eligible applicants include state governments, local governments, tribes, and non-profit organizations. The program aims to leverage existing state public health laboratory capabilities to conduct biomonitoring studies that assess human exposure to environmental chemicals, with a focus on populations disproportionately affected. Applicants may propose targeted community-based investigations or statewide population surveillance activities. Key application requirements include a 10-page narrative, work plan, and letters of support. The application deadline is April 15, 2024, and award announcements are anticipated in August 2024.
This is a three-year cooperative agreement program with a total award ceiling of $1.1 million per year. Proposed activities may include biomonitoring, enhancement of laboratory expertise, coordination with partners, and reporting of findings. The funding opportunity is assigned to the CDC's Environmental Public Health and Emergency Response program under Assistance Listing Number 93.070.
Synopsis
The purpose of this notice of funding opportunity is to leverage existing capability and capacity of state public health laboratories to conduct high-quality biomonitoring science and assess human exposure to environmental chemicals within their jurisdictions, specifically focusing on investigations for populations disproportionately affected by exposure to harmful chemicals. Improved exposure assessment will enable states to reduce or eliminate exposure to certain environmental chemicals in at-risk population groups and assess the effectiveness of interventions to reduce harmful exposures. Applicants may propose biomonitoring activities based on one or both of the following strategies to complete during a 3-year funding cycle. 1. Community biomonitoring investigations which can be a new investigation in an affected community or surveillance activities in a previously exposed community, 2. State-wide population surveillance with oversampling of a minority group disproportionately affected by harmful chemical exposure. Recipient activities will include biomonitoring to assess exposures of concern, enhancement of laboratory capability/expertise, coordination/collaboration with partners to improve exposure investigations, and reporting of findings to key audiences.
