About this program

The Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and Prevention funds research, prevention, and education programs on Lyme disease in the United States under Assistance Listing 93.942, with the most recent grant award dated September 1, 2016. The program is inactive; no new solicitations have been posted since February 2017, and no awards have been disbursed for a decade.

The program historically funded tick vector control and reservoir management research, diagnostic assay development, field trials of natural tick control products, and community-based prevention education. A representative recent cooperative agreement (U01CK000492, $1.48 million obligated, September 2016) investigated integrated tick management combining chemical sprays to reduce host-seeking ticks with rodent-targeted bait boxes to reduce tick prevalence of Lyme-causing Borrelia burgdorferi, evaluated at residential properties in Connecticut and Rhode Island. Earlier awards funded reservoir-targeted vaccines (U01CK000107, $3.1 million, 2008), diagnostic biomarker development (U01CK000153, $749 thousand, 2010), and gene expression assays for Lyme disease diagnosis (U01CK000150, $704 thousand, 2010).

From 2002 through 2016, the CDC awarded 78 grants totaling $35.5 million in federal obligations. Project Grants comprised 76 percent of awards (59 grants), with smaller shares of Block Grants (13 percent, 10 awards) and Cooperative Agreements (12 percent, 9 awards). Award activity declined significantly; the program issued four awards in 2008 and three in 2010, but only one award in 2011, one in 2012, and one in 2016. Award magnitudes ranged widely—from under $50 thousand to $3.1 million—with typical coopera­tive agreements in the $700 thousand to $1.5 million range.

The most recently posted opportunity (RFA-CK-16-002, due February 2, 2016) solicited Cooperative Agreements from state and local governments, academic institutions, nonprofits, and tribal organizations for continuation of integrated tick management research. A continuation solicitation (RFA-CK-16-00202CONT17) was posted February 1, 2017 with an April 20, 2017 due date, restricted to previously funded grantees.
