About this program

The Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR) funds preparedness and response research under CFDA 93.081, with the most recent grant award issued September 30, 2014—over 12 years ago.

This program supports research informing emergency response and recovery operations across multiple focal areas. Funded research has addressed standing committees on medical and public health research during large-scale emergency events, recovery best practices following disasters, environmental exposure risks such as health effects from mold and toxic exposure, resilience factors, decision-making surveys during response and recovery phases, and social media use in preparedness and response activities. Project periods extend from six months to five years, with budget periods of six months to twelve months.

The portfolio is small and inactive. Only two federal grant awards have been recorded in the source data: one Project Grant and one Cooperative Agreement, split evenly at 50 percent each. Combined federal dollars obligated total $1.3 million across both awards. The Department of Health and Human Services accounts for 100 percent of awards and federal dollars. Representative awards include a $903,700 Cooperative Agreement for establishing a standing committee on medical and public health research during large-scale emergency events (2014–2018) and a $400,000 Project Grant for recovery best practices research (2013–2015).

The most recent grant opportunity in the source data was posted August 18, 2014, with a due date of September 15, 2014. That solicitation was limited to the Institute of Medicine as the sole eligible applicant and sought to establish a rapid convening process for subject matter experts to prioritize scientific research needs in the immediate aftermath of disasters.

Eligible applicants include domestic and foreign nonprofit entities, state and local governments, Indian tribal governments, faith-based organizations, community-based organizations, hospitals, institutions of higher education, and for-profit organizations. No recent grant opportunities are currently documented in the source material.
