Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA DD21 2102
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through the Division of Human Development and Disability (DHDD) within the National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities (NCBDDD), released a discretionary Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for a non-research Cooperative Agreement titled "Improving Health of Americans with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Through Evidence-Based Health Promotion Programs" (Funding Opportunity Number: CDC RFA DD21 2102). The purpose is to partner with a nationally scoped organization to strengthen and expand evidence-based health promotion efforts that improve both physical and mental health outcomes for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) across the lifespan. Rather than funding a traditional research study, this award is designed to support practical, on-the-ground implementation and national-level collaboration that builds on decades of prior work with established partners.
This opportunity is geared toward a single awardee (Expected Awards: 1) that can operate at a national scale and coordinate strategies, activities, and partnerships to improve health for people with IDD. Eligible applicants are limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, which typically means CDC expects to have substantial involvement in the work, such as collaborating on planning, implementation approaches, performance monitoring, and dissemination of effective practices. The assistance listing/CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 93.184, and the sponsoring agency is the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), CDC.
The core emphasis is the use of evidence-based health promotion programs that are inclusive and accessible to people with IDD. Applicants are expected to propose strategies and activities that measurably improve health outcomes in this population, with an eye toward sustainability. The NOFO highlights that people with IDD experience notable health disparities and often face barriers to preventive care and health promotion; therefore, the funded work is intended to reduce avoidable illness and improve overall wellness through programs and systems that can be maintained and scaled over time.
The long-term outcomes CDC is aiming for are broad and concrete. On the physical health side, the program seeks a reduced prevalence of chronic conditions that disproportionately affect or severely impact people with IDD, including diabetes, obesity, heart disease, and hypertension. On the mental health side, the program targets a reduced prevalence of mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety disorders, alongside improved physical, mental, and emotional wellness more generally. The NOFO also calls out reducing acute secondary conditions that often arise from unmet health needs or inadequate supports, including pain, pressure sores, dental problems, sleep disorders, and adjustment disorders.
In addition to improving health status, CDC is explicitly focused on reducing high-cost, high-acuity care that can signal gaps in prevention and routine services. Desired outcomes include reduced utilization of emergency medical care and emergency dental procedures among people with IDD. Preventive public health goals are also included, with an objective to reduce the prevalence of vaccine-preventable illness in the IDD population. Finally, the NOFO emphasizes long-term systems impact: improving the sustainability of inclusive health promotion programs, policies, systems, and environments so that gains persist beyond the project period and are embedded in routine practice.
Key administrative details include an NOFO creation date of April 1, 2021, and an original application closing date of May 31, 2021, with electronic submissions due by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the listed due date. The stated award ceiling is $13,682,425, reflecting the scale of the intended national effort and the expectation that the funded organization can coordinate broad implementation and support. Overall, this grant opportunity is best understood as a large, nationally oriented cooperative initiative to expand and sustain proven, inclusive health promotion approaches that reduce chronic disease, improve mental health and wellness, prevent secondary complications, increase vaccination protection, and lower emergency care use for Americans with intellectual and developmental disabilities.Apply for CDC RFA DD21 2102
