Applied public health research provides the critical new knowledge to address the CDC priority research needs. Research is focused on improving public health practices to maximize positive health outcomes and impacts.

Financial assistance is provided for a 12-month budget period with project periods of up to 3 years subject to the availability of funds and satisfactory progress of the grantee.

Applications will be evaluated on the review criteria described in the Notice Of Funding Opportunity (NOFOs). In general, the review and selection process of complete and responsive applications to the NOFO consists of determination of the scientific and technical merit by objective or peer review, availability of funds, and relevance of program priorities and the priorities of CDC.

After review and approval, a Notice of Award (NoA) will be prepared and processed, along with appropriate notification to the public. Initial awards provide funds for the first budget period (usually 12 months) and the NoA will indicate support recommended for the remainder of the project period, allocation of Federal funds by budget categories, award requirements, and special conditions, if any.

Check Grants.gov for any relevant NOFO information regarding processes for applying for assistance.

Project period of performance is 1 to 5 years. After initial awards, and subject to availability of funds, projects may be continued non-competitively contingent upon satisfactory progress by the recipient (as documented in required reports) and the determination that continued funding is in the best interest of the Federal government.
