Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA DP 24 062

The Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Research Centers: 2024 Special Interest Project Competitive Supplements (SIPS) opportunity is a CDC funding announcement that offers competitive supplemental awards to existing CDC Prevention Research Centers (PRCs). It is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning recipients should expect substantial CDC involvement beyond standard grant oversight, often through collaboration on priorities, methods, dissemination, and translation of findings into practice. The overall intent is to strengthen applied, real-world public health research that can directly inform public health practice by identifying, designing, testing, evaluating, and scaling interventions and practical tools that prevent disease and reduce risk tied to the leading causes of illness, disability, and death in the United States.

This supplement competition focuses on a defined set of Special Interest Projects (SIPs), which are essentially targeted research and practice priorities that CDC has pre-identified for this cycle. The SIP topics span cancer survivorship and cancer communication, community and policy approaches to nutrition and physical activity, chronic disease self-management networks, mental health and chronic disease intersections, and strategies to improve vaccine confidence and immunization uptake in specific community contexts. Rather than being an open-ended call for any public health topic, applicants are expected to align their supplemental proposal with one of the SIPs listed in the announcement and to meet any SIP-specific eligibility or requirements that may apply. In practical terms, these SIPs are designed to produce actionable evidence on what works in real-world settings, including implementation barriers, effectiveness, acceptability, and how interventions can be disseminated and translated for broader public health use.

The 13 SIP areas included in this announcement are: understanding the needs of ovarian cancer survivors; examining survivorship care plans and mortality among adult cancer survivors; work through the Cancer Prevention and Control Research Network (CPCRN); gauging men’s reactions to relabeling Grade Group 1 (GG1) prostate cancer and improving understanding of pathology reports; understanding how reducing social isolation and loneliness affects health indicators among cancer survivors; the Nutrition Obesity Policy Research and Evaluation Network (NOPREN); the Physical Activity Policy and Evaluation Research Network (PAPREN); the Managing Epilepsy Well Network (MEW); the Arthritis Management and Well-being Research Network (AMWRN); the Mental Health and Chronic Disease Prevention Network (MHCDPN); assessing perceptions and effectiveness of interventions to increase MMR vaccination among children in close-knit communities with longstanding vaccine hesitancy; the Advancing Research in Immunization Services Network (ARISe); and understanding the potential role of schools in promoting childhood vaccinations when vaccinations are not mandated. Collectively, these projects emphasize applied prevention research, including communication strategies, community-based interventions, policy and systems approaches, and network-based coordination that can accelerate learning and impact across multiple sites.

Eligibility is narrowly defined. Applicants must already be approved for funding under CDC Notice of Funding Opportunity RFA-DP-24-004 (Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Research Centers) in order to apply for these SIP supplemental funds. The application must match the funded PRC institution precisely: on the SF-424 (R&R), the institution’s legal name, EIN, and UEI must match the entity listed on the Notice of Award under RFA-DP-24-004. This requirement is meant to ensure that only the PRC awardees (and the correct legal entity within an institution) compete for and receive these supplements. The announcement also notes that additional, special eligibility rules may apply depending on the specific SIP topic, which signals that some projects may be limited to certain PRCs, networks, partners, or capabilities, or may require participation in a designated research network.

From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity is issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) via ERA, categorized as discretionary funding, with a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. The opportunity number is RFA-DP-24-062, the CFDA/Assistance Listing number is 93.135, and it sits in the broad activity category of health. The original closing date listed is March 4, 2024. The award ceiling is $675,000, and CDC anticipates making about 28 awards. In general, those figures suggest a competitive supplement mechanism intended to support multiple PRCs and SIPs rather than a small number of very large awards, though actual budgets and project scopes will depend on the SIP-specific guidance and the work proposed.

In plain terms, this SIPS announcement is a way for CDC to rapidly extend and deepen the work of its Prevention Research Centers by funding focused, high-priority projects that can generate practice-ready evidence. The emphasis is not just on publishing results, but on producing findings, tools, and implementation lessons that public health agencies, health systems, schools, community organizations, and policymakers can realistically use to improve prevention and reduce chronic disease burden, cancer impacts, and vaccine-preventable disease risks in the communities they serve.
