Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA OE17 17010203SUPP18
CDC's Collaboration with Academia to Strengthen Public Health Workforce Capacity is a CDC funding opportunity designed to build and improve the public health workforce through practical, non-research projects called Workforce Improvement Projects (WIPs). The basic idea is to strengthen population health and day-to-day public health practice by creating real workforce development experiences and tools that can be used in academic settings (like universities and residency programs) and in public health practice environments. Rather than funding traditional research studies, this program supports hands-on initiatives that help train, upskill, and expand the pipeline of public health professionals.
This opportunity is offered by the Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), specifically through CSELS, and it is structured as a cooperative agreement. Under this approach, CDC expects an active partnership with recipients during the project period, which often means closer collaboration, technical input, or coordination than a standard grant. The projects themselves are developed and funded by CDC Centers/Institutes/Offices (CIOs), then carried out by CDC's academic association partners or their members, such as colleges, universities, and residency programs, using extramural sub-awards. In practical terms, the funding supports a networked model where CDC priorities are translated into workforce-focused work implemented through academic and training institutions.
The types of activities supported under WIPs are broad, as long as they clearly strengthen workforce capacity and relate to public health practice. Examples include developing curricula that can be used in academic programs, creating or delivering training for the current public health and health care workforce (including continuing education courses), and building initiatives that introduce students to public health or actively recruit new talent into public health careers. The program also supports faculty development activities, such as helping nursing, medical, public health, or other faculty integrate population health concepts into what they teach. In addition, WIPs can include community-level activities that directly support public health practice, quality improvement projects that include a workforce development element, and evaluations of prevention or health promotion programs or strategies that are considered important to public health.
A key requirement is that supported projects must be non-research and must fit CDC's policy definition that distinguishes public health research from public health nonresearch. That means the work should be focused on practice, training, quality improvement, program implementation, or other public health action-oriented efforts rather than generating generalizable research knowledge in the conventional sense. Applicants and project teams are expected to align activities with that CDC policy and design their work accordingly.
From an eligibility and administrative standpoint, the opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA OE17 17010203SUPP18; CFDA 93.967) is open to certain nonprofit organizations and private institutions of higher education. Eligible applicants include nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), and private institutions of higher education. The total award structure includes an award ceiling of $1,250,000, with an anticipated four awards. The original posting date for this opportunity was June 12, 2018, and the original application deadline was August 14, 2018, with electronic submissions due by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the deadline date.
Overall, this NOFO is best understood as a workforce-focused, practice-oriented CDC investment that uses collaborations with academic partners to create training, curriculum, pipeline, faculty development, quality improvement, community practice support, and program evaluation activities, all aimed at strengthening the capacity and readiness of the public health workforce.Apply for CDC RFA OE17 17010203SUPP18
