Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA OT18 18020101SUPP18
The grant opportunity titled "Strengthening Public Health Systems and Services through National Partnerships to Improve and Protect the Nation's Health" is a CDC supplemental funding notice designed specifically for organizations that already received an award under the earlier funding announcement CDC-RFA-OT18-1802 (Preventive Health and Health Services). In other words, it is not a brand-new, open-to-everyone competition in the usual sense; it is an add-on funding chance for existing recipients to expand or refine their work by submitting new FY2018 project plans (referred to as CIO Project Plans) that align with the same target population category (A, B, or C) they were originally funded to serve in FY2018. The overall intent is to reinforce and modernize public health infrastructure nationwide by helping public health organizations and systems function more effectively, stay current, and remain connected across jurisdictions and sectors.
At the center of this opportunity is the concept of capacity building assistance (CBA). The CDC frames CBA broadly as practical support that strengthens and maintains the foundational infrastructure and resources needed to sustain or improve performance at multiple levels: systems, organizations, communities, and individuals. The notice emphasizes that CBA can be delivered through hands-on technical assistance, training and workforce development, information sharing and dissemination, technology transfer, development of tools and materials, and in some cases funding mechanisms that help organizations better serve their customers and operate in a comprehensive, responsive, and effective way. The larger point is to improve how essential public health services are delivered by ensuring that the underlying capabilities and competencies are strong, scalable, and sustainable.
The program is oriented toward national partnerships and is meant to support nongovernmental organizations that can demonstrate real capability and reach. The CDC is looking for organizations with established expertise, resources, and a documented history of delivering capacity building work that matches the program's strategies and expected outcomes. The idea is that these organizations act as multipliers: rather than only running direct services, they strengthen the broader public health ecosystem by helping many other entities (such as state, local, territorial, tribal, or community partners) improve their operations, adopt better practices, and build durable infrastructure.
The strategies described in the notice focus on strengthening core components of public health systems. These include leadership and workforce capacity (ensuring public health staff are competent and supported), data and information systems (improving data quality, collection, analysis, and use), communication and information technology (enhancing the ability to communicate with the public and partners and to use modern IT), partnerships (building cross-sector relationships that improve coordination and impact), laws, regulations, and policies (supporting policy and legal frameworks that enable effective public health action), and programs and services (improving the design and delivery of public health interventions). Collectively, these areas represent the building blocks of a strong public health infrastructure, and the CDC expects funded capacity building to produce measurable improvements that help optimize the system and ultimately improve health outcomes nationally.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement, meaning the CDC anticipates substantial involvement with awardees during implementation rather than simply providing funds with minimal engagement. The opportunity is administered by the Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, specifically within OSTLTS. The funding opportunity number is CDC RFA OT18 18020101SUPP18, and it is tied to CFDA numbers 93.421 and 93.430, reflecting its placement within CDC public health infrastructure and preventive health funding streams, including Prevention and Public Health Funds (PPHF) as part of the financing for the underlying program.
Eligibility, as listed in the source data, includes a wide range of applicant types (state and local governments, public and private higher education institutions, and nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status, among others). However, the practical eligibility constraint is that this supplemental NOFO is intended for organizations previously funded under CDC-RFA-OT18-1802, since it is supplemental to that earlier award and requires submission of updated project plans within the recipient's original target population category. The announcement was created July 19, 2018, with an application deadline of August 20, 2018 (electronic submissions due by 11:59 p.m. ET). The award ceiling is listed as $5,000,000, and the CDC anticipated roughly 40 awards, indicating a sizable national effort to bolster public health system capability through established national partners.Apply for CDC RFA OT18 18020101SUPP18
