About this program
The Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) administers the Improving Epilepsy Programs, Services, and Outcomes through National Partnerships program (CFDA 93.850), which funds professional education, health care access improvements, stigma reduction, and quality-of-life enhancements for people with epilepsy, with the most recent grant award disbursed on September 30, 2016.
Program activity has been minimal in recent years. The portfolio contains a single award, a cooperative agreement for $25.2 million obligated to an epilepsy education and awareness collaborative, completed in September 2021. No additional awards appear in the record since 2016, indicating the program has not maintained regular annual funding cycles in the recent portfolio window.
The program funds concrete activities including professional education for faster diagnosis and specialist referral, delivery of evidence-based epilepsy self-management programs and supports in health care settings (particularly neurology and epilepsy center clinics), technical assistance in health care system change and clinical quality improvement, public awareness campaigns to reduce stigma, and community resource development. All awards have been Cooperative Agreements with periods of performance of one to five years. The CDC is the sole funding agency under this Assistance Listing.
Eligible applicants include public and private nonprofit institutions, federally recognized Indian Tribal Governments, U.S. territories, for-profit organizations, and other eligible entities. Cooperative agreements require an initial 12-month budget period with non-competitive continuation possible for up to five years if recipients demonstrate satisfactory progress and continued funding serves federal interests.
Recent grant opportunities posted include CDC-RFA-DP23-0007 (posted July 6, 2022, due April 17, 2023), soliciting development of health care system capacity to deliver evidence-based epilepsy self-management supports and technical assistance in clinical quality improvement. An earlier opportunity, CDC-RFA-DP21-2101 (posted July 29, 2020, due April 12, 2021), sought improvements in health and quality of life through professional education, community service coordination, media engagement to reduce stigma, and expanded educational opportunities for people with epilepsy and families. No currently open solicitations are evident in the source material.
