About this program
The Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and Prevention funded healthcare-associated infection prevention through ARRA appropriations under CFDA 93.717, with the most recent grant award in July 2004. This program is inactive; no grant awards have been disbursed in the past 22 years, and no recent grant opportunities are posted. The single documented award in the portfolio—a Cooperative Agreement for $2.4 million to support epidemiology and laboratory capacity for infectious diseases, with performance through December 2011—represents the extent of measurable activity under this Assistance Listing.
The program was designed to reduce preventable healthcare-associated infections through state health department efforts, leveraging the National Health Care Safety Network to disseminate evidence-based practices within hospitals. The original $40 million appropriation was intended to support state HAI prevention collaboratives, enhance hospital participation in NHSN reporting, build public health workforce capacity in state health departments, and develop targeted surveillance infrastructure. Specific goals included progress toward 50–70 percent reductions in bloodstream infections, implementation of evidence-based prevention guidelines, and development of state HAI prevention plans.
All funding flowed from a single source: the CDC. The assistance type was exclusively Cooperative Agreement. Combined federal dollars obligated totaled $2.4 million.
This program shows no signs of active solicitation or recent grant-making activity. Prospective applicants should treat this Assistance Listing as closed to new competition unless and until a new NOFO is posted or ARRA-related authority is re-appropriated. The most recent opportunity and award history do not support a pursue strategy at this time.
