About this program

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) funds state and local blood disorder prevention, surveillance, and research programs through Assistance Listing 93.080, with the most recent award disbursed September 30, 2023.

The program supports planning, development, implementation, coordination, and evaluation of blood disorder activities by state health agencies and public, private, and nonprofit organizations. Funded activities include surveillance and epidemiological work to set priorities and direct health promotion interventions; establishment of national, state, or local prevention infrastructure; training fellowships for geneticists, epidemiologists, and clinicians in public health practice; and dissemination of prevention information across state and local agencies and private-sector partners. Recent awards exemplify this scope: a $26 million surveillance program (Community Counts Public Health Surveillance for Bleeding Disorders, 2015) that monitored hemophilia treatment centers nationwide; sickle cell disease data collection initiatives in California ($1.88 million, 2020) and multiple states beginning 2019 to build surveillance capacity; and transfusion-complications research for thalassemia and sickle cell disease ($1.77 million and $1.75 million, respectively, 2019).

All awards in the portfolio are Cooperative Agreements. The CDC accounts for 100 percent of funding across 22 awards totaling $43.9 million obligated since 2014. Award frequency is irregular—eight awards in 2014, 11 in 2019, and one each in 2015, 2020, and 2023—but the program remains active.

Project periods run 1 to 5 years with initial 12-month budget cycles; recipients may continue non-competitively subject to satisfactory progress. Typical award magnitudes range from $60 thousand (capacity-building activities) to multi-million-dollar surveillance platforms, though a $26 million award represents a significant outlier.

How to apply

Criteria for selecting proposals

Award procedure

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.Cooperative agreement awards and grants, competitive and single eligibility, are determined by an internal objective committee review process at CDC, including peer reviews for research activities. Awards will be based on evaluation criteria set forth in the respective Notice of Funding Opportunity, the availability of funds, and such other significant factors as deemed necessary and appropriate by CDC.

Renewals

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.
