Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA CE 23 0003
Overdose Data to Action: Limiting Overdose through Collaborative Actions in Localities (OD2A: LOCAL) is a CDC cooperative agreement funding opportunity designed to help local jurisdictions strengthen overdose prevention and overdose surveillance through coordinated, on-the-ground action. The program sits within CDCs public health authority under Section 311 of the Public Health Service Act, which allows CDC to enter into cooperative agreements with local health departments. It is also supported by the SUPPORT Act, which explicitly authorizes CDC to provide funding to states, localities, and Indian tribes to carry out overdose prevention and surveillance work. In practical terms, the opportunity is meant to help local public health agencies and their partners use better data, faster reporting, and collaborative prevention strategies to reduce overdose harms in their communities.
The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement (not a simple grant), which typically means CDC expects an active partnership with recipients. Under cooperative agreements, awardees generally receive technical assistance, guidance, and collaboration from CDC staff, and CDC may have substantial involvement in shaping or supporting program implementation. This structure fits the OD2A model, which emphasizes connecting surveillance information to timely prevention action rather than treating data collection and intervention as separate efforts.
Eligibility is targeted primarily to local governmental public health entities. Eligible applicants include county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, and other entities as clarified in the full Notice of Funding Opportunity. The description highlights that health departments and special district governments serving localities and territories, as well as their bona fide agents, are eligible. A key feature is flexibility for local health departments to direct resources downstream: local jurisdictional health departments may decide to subcontract portions of the funding to reach local communities and local partners. That is important because effective overdose prevention often depends on collaborations with community organizations, healthcare systems, harm reduction providers, public safety partners, and other local stakeholders that can implement services and interventions where risk is highest.
OD2A: LOCAL is framed as the locality-focused companion to a separate, parallel CDC opportunity aimed at state-level agencies, called Overdose Data to Action in States. The CDC notes that strategies in the states NOFO are tailored to state agency roles and capacities, while OD2A: LOCAL is structured for local jurisdictions that can act directly within communities. The description also clarifies that CDC supports tribal public health infrastructure through other cooperative agreement programs rather than positioning this NOFO as the primary vehicle for those investments. Specifically mentioned are Tribal Epidemiology Centers funded through CDC-RFA-DP17-1704 (Building Public Health Infrastructure in Tribal Communities to Accelerate Disease Prevention and Health Promotion in Indian Country) and tribes or tribal-serving organizations funded through CDC-RFA-OT18-1803 (Tribal Public Health Capacity-Building and Quality Improvement Umbrella Cooperative Agreement). This helps applicants understand how CDC has organized overdose and related public health capacity funding across local, state, and tribal contexts.
Administratively, the opportunity is offered by the Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC). It is a discretionary funding opportunity under CFDA 93.136. The funding opportunity number is CDC-RFA-CE-23-0003. The posting information indicates an expected 40 awards. The listing shows an award ceiling of 0, which usually signals that the specific maximum award amount is not stated in that summary field and would need to be confirmed in the full NOFO or associated guidance. The original application closing date listed is May 8, 2023, with applications required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 pm Eastern Time on the due date.
Overall, OD2A: LOCAL is best understood as CDCs locality-centered effort to reduce overdose deaths and harms by improving the way communities collect, share, and use overdose-related data and by supporting collaborative prevention activities that can be implemented quickly and tailored to local conditions. It emphasizes that local public health agencies can and should work through local partners, using subcontracting where needed, so that surveillance and prevention are tightly linked and responsive to changing drug use patterns and overdose risks in real time.Apply for CDC RFA CE 23 0003
