Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA DP 19 006
The Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Research Centers: 2019 Special Interest Project Competitive Supplements (SIPS) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number RFA DP 19 006) is a CDC funding announcement designed to provide additional, targeted support to existing CDC Prevention Research Centers (PRCs). It is structured as a discretionary cooperative agreement, meaning awardees are expected to work in close collaboration with CDC during the project period rather than operating as fully independent grantees. The main purpose is to strengthen applied public health prevention research by supporting Special Interest Projects (SIPs) that move beyond theory and into practical, real-world implementation.
At the core of this opportunity is the expectation that PRCs will design, test, evaluate, disseminate, and translate prevention strategies that can measurably reduce major drivers of illness, disability, and premature death in the United States. The announcement emphasizes applied public health interventions and tools that are developed and assessed in real-world settings, not just controlled research environments. In practice, that can include programs, clinical or community practices, policies, or broader public health strategies, along with the tools needed to implement and scale them effectively. The goal is not only to prove an intervention can work, but also to generate evidence and practical guidance that helps others adopt, adapt, and sustain what works.
The research focus areas are aligned with widely recognized public health priorities, explicitly tied to Healthy People 2020 topic areas. The examples listed include aging, dementias and Alzheimer’s disease, epilepsy, cancer, nutrition and physical activity, and substance abuse with a specific mention of alcohol. This alignment signals that CDC is looking for projects that fit within national prevention priorities and can produce usable knowledge for public health systems, community partners, and decision-makers. The intent is to encourage projects that can demonstrate population health relevance and that have clear pathways to translation and dissemination, so lessons learned can extend beyond the original study sites.
Eligibility is aimed at higher education institutions, including public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education, with additional eligible applicants potentially included under “Others” as clarified in the full announcement. In practical terms, because these are competitive supplements for PRCs, the applicants are essentially entities already operating as CDC Prevention Research Centers that can propose Special Interest Projects consistent with CDC’s goals for prevention research and its expectations for collaborative work under a cooperative agreement model.
Key administrative details include that the opportunity was issued by the Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), with a creation date of December 14, 2018. The original application closing date was February 21, 2019, with electronic submissions due by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The total maximum amount shown as an award ceiling is $7,095,000, and CDC anticipated making about 24 awards. The funding is associated with CFDA number 93.135, which is commonly used for CDC PRC-related activities and helps categorize the program within federal assistance systems.
Overall, this funding opportunity is best understood as CDC’s mechanism for quickly accelerating high-priority prevention research through established Prevention Research Centers, with an emphasis on practical interventions, rigorous evaluation, and active dissemination and translation. The expected end products are not only research findings, but also implementable strategies and tools that public health and community systems can use to address leading health burdens across the country.Apply for RFA DP 19 006
