Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA DP15 151303CONT17
The Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) grant opportunity is a continuation cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), specifically under the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP). BRFSS is widely known as the largest ongoing telephone-based health survey system in the United States, designed to collect state-level data on adult health behaviors, chronic health conditions, and use of preventive services. This funding opportunity supports the ongoing administration and improvement of BRFSS activities that help public health agencies track trends, identify disparities, set priorities, and evaluate programs aimed at reducing the burden of chronic disease and related risk factors.
This opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA DP15 151303CONT17 and is categorized as continuation funding, meaning it is intended to extend or continue an existing program rather than launch an entirely new initiative. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that CDC expects to have substantial programmatic involvement in the funded work. In practical terms, that often means recipients work closely with CDC on technical assistance, methodological standards, data quality practices, reporting expectations, and ongoing performance or evaluation activities, rather than operating with the looser federal involvement that is more typical of a standard grant.
The activity category is listed as Health, and the CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 93.336, which corresponds to CDC cooperative agreement programs tied to public health surveillance and related functions. The listing shows an expected number of awards of 10. The award ceiling is shown as 0, which generally suggests that a specific maximum award amount is not provided in the public summary record, may be determined by formula or available appropriations, or is described elsewhere in the full announcement materials tied to the continuation process.
Eligibility is summarized as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," which usually means eligibility is limited to certain entities already participating in BRFSS or otherwise specified by the continuation notice. In many CDC continuation opportunities, eligible applicants can include state health departments, territorial health agencies, or other designated public health entities responsible for conducting BRFSS within their jurisdiction, but the exact eligible group would be defined in that additional eligibility text in the complete announcement.
Key administrative details include a creation date of October 29, 2016, and an original closing date of November 30, 2016. The short description emphasizes that the opportunity supports BRFSS under NCCDPHP, aligning the surveillance system with chronic disease prevention and health promotion priorities. Overall, the intent of this continuation award is to sustain and strengthen the collection of high-quality, timely, and comparable behavioral risk factor data that public health programs use to inform policy decisions, allocate resources, target interventions, and monitor the effectiveness of chronic disease prevention strategies over time.Apply for CDC RFA DP15 151303CONT17
