Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA DP20 2007
The Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS): Impact in Population Health grant opportunity (CDC-RFA-DP20-2007) is a CDC-funded cooperative agreement designed to support health-related behavioral surveillance in the United States and to strengthen how BRFSS data are used to guide real public health decisions. BRFSS is a long-running, nationwide system that began in 1984 with 15 states collecting data monthly and has since grown into the only continuous, state-based health surveillance system operating across the country. Through this funding, CDC aims to help recipients both maintain and carry out high-quality BRFSS survey operations and expand the practical use of the resulting data so communities can take better-informed actions to improve population health outcomes.
The core purpose of the award is twofold: first, to provide financial and technical assistance so recipients can conduct ongoing surveillance of health-related behaviors through BRFSS; and second, to increase the application of BRFSS findings in public health practice. In other words, the work is not limited to collecting and reporting survey results. The program is also focused on translating BRFSS data into actionable insights that can inform planning, prioritization, program design, and other decisions intended to improve health. This emphasis on impact reflects the idea that surveillance has its greatest value when it directly supports prevention efforts, policy choices, and program improvements at the state and local levels.
This opportunity is offered by the Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), specifically within NCCDPHP, and it is categorized as a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement mechanism. The cooperative agreement structure generally indicates substantial involvement from CDC beyond simply providing funds, such as ongoing technical guidance, collaboration on approach, and expectations around performance and deliverables aligned with CDC standards for surveillance quality and data use.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of entities that may participate in public health surveillance and related work. Eligible applicants include state, county, city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments and other tribal organizations; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; nonprofit organizations (both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3), excluding higher education institutions in those nonprofit categories); private institutions of higher education; for-profit organizations (including those other than small businesses); small businesses; and other applicants as clarified in the opportunitys additional eligibility information. The listing is described as unrestricted across the eligible entity types, subject to any clarifications noted in the full NOFO.
The funding timeline and structure are clearly defined. The period of performance is three years, organized into 12-month budget periods. The opportunity was created on March 27, 2020, with an original application closing date of May 29, 2020, and electronic submissions due by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The anticipated award date was August 1, 2020. The award ceiling is listed as $450,000, and CDC expected to make 57 awards, suggesting a large, nationwide cohort of recipients consistent with the state-based scope of BRFSS.
In practical terms, applicants were being asked to support the continuing operation and impact of BRFSS as a foundational surveillance tool for monitoring health behaviors and related risk factors, while also strengthening the downstream use of those data in public health action. The overall goal is improved health at the population level by ensuring that high-quality, continuous surveillance information is not only collected, but is actively used to drive prevention strategies, resource allocation, and measurable improvements in public health.Apply for CDC RFA DP20 2007
