Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA OT18 18030202SUPP20
The COVID-19 Response Supplement: Tribal Public Health Capacity-Building and Quality Improvement Umbrella Cooperative Agreement is an emergency supplemental funding opportunity from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), specifically through OSTLTS. It was created to rapidly expand COVID-19 prevention, preparedness, and response capacity in American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities by providing additional funds under an existing cooperative agreement structure. Rather than opening a brand-new program to all applicants, this supplement targets a defined group of recipients already participating in CDC-RFA-OT18-1803 (Tribal Public Health Capacity-Building and Quality Improvement Umbrella Cooperative Agreement), limited to those that previously received funding under Strategy 1. In other words, it is designed as an add-on to an established tribal public health investment, so that current awardees can scale or adapt their work for pandemic response.
Eligibility is limited to AI/AN tribal nations and regional AI/AN tribal organizations that meet the prior-award requirement described above. Eligible applicant types are federally recognized Native American tribal governments and Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments). Applicants must submit supplemental COVID-19 Emergency Response Project Plans aligned to the geographic category under which they were originally awarded. The program is organized by three geographic categories tied to HHS regions: Category A covers HHS Regions I, II, III, and IV; Category B covers Regions V, VI, and VII; and Category C covers Regions VIII, IX, and X. The specific project plan templates or guidance for these categories are provided as attachments to the announcement, and applicants are expected to build their work plans and budgets around the needs and strategies spelled out in those category-specific project plans.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally means CDC anticipates substantial involvement in the work compared with a standard grant. Programmatically, the supplement allows recipients to leverage the cooperative agreement’s existing six program strategies to support tribes, tribal organizations, urban Indian health organizations, or other health service providers in responding to COVID-19. The types of supported activities are broad and practical: strengthening surveillance and epidemiology capacity, expanding laboratory-related capability, improving infection control, implementing mitigation measures, conducting communications and outreach, and carrying out other preparedness and response functions needed to manage COVID-19. A notable feature is that funds may also be used for construction, alteration, or renovation of non-federally owned facilities when those changes directly improve preparedness and response capability, which is an important flexibility for communities needing physical upgrades to safely deliver services or manage response operations.
The supplement also allows reimbursement of eligible costs incurred on or after January 20, 2020, which effectively recognizes that many tribal entities began responding before supplemental funds were available. Proposed activities in the work plan and budget narrative are expected to be justified by local needs and must align with the geographic category requirements and the strategies outlined in the attached emergency response project plans. Funding under this emergency supplement is available through September 30, 2022, establishing a multi-year window for response activities, capacity improvements, and sustained preparedness work rather than a short, one-time spending period.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number CDC RFA OT18 18030202SUPP20, CFDA number 93.772, and an opportunity category of discretionary funding. The announcement was created on March 24, 2020, with an original closing date of April 1, 2020, and electronic submissions due by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The award ceiling is listed as $3,500,000, and CDC expected to make 13 awards, reflecting targeted, high-impact supplemental investments among existing Strategy 1 recipients.Apply for CDC RFA OT18 18030202SUPP20
