Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA IP19 1901
The Immunization and Vaccines for Children funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: CDC RFA IP19 1901) is a discretionary cooperative agreement administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), specifically the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases (NCIRD). The overall purpose is to prevent disease, disability, and death by strengthening immunization systems and controlling vaccine-preventable and related respiratory diseases. In practical terms, the CDC is using this cooperative agreement to help jurisdictions run strong, modern immunization programs that can consistently achieve and sustain high vaccination coverage and respond quickly when vaccine-preventable disease threats emerge.
NCIRD frames the work around protecting both individuals and communities through several core functions: using federal funds and contracts to purchase and distribute vaccines, providing technical and financial support to immunization programs, conducting and improving surveillance for vaccine-preventable diseases, educating providers and the public, and evaluating program performance. The grant is designed to support recipients across the full cycle of immunization work, including planning, implementation, assessment, and promotion of immunization-related activities. Because the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, recipients should expect substantial federal involvement, meaning CDC collaboration is typically more hands-on than with a standard grant. This often includes shared planning, technical assistance, performance monitoring, and alignment with national immunization priorities and program requirements.
A central emphasis of the opportunity is the administration of two major vaccine access and infrastructure programs: the Vaccines for Children (VFC) Program and the Section 317 vaccine program. Through VFC, eligible children can receive recommended vaccines at no cost, and the cooperative agreement supports the systems needed to enroll and monitor providers, manage vaccine ordering and distribution, ensure proper storage and handling, track coverage, and maintain compliance with program rules. Section 317 complements this by supporting vaccination efforts for eligible individuals outside VFC, as well as broader immunization infrastructure and outbreak response capacity depending on program direction and eligibility rules. Together, these programs require strong operational capacity in areas like vaccine management, provider support, data systems, and quality improvement, all of which this funding aims to bolster.
The opportunity also highlights maintaining or improving public health response activities related to vaccine-preventable disease threats. That includes being prepared to detect and investigate cases and outbreaks, coordinate with healthcare providers and laboratories, conduct contact tracing or targeted vaccination efforts when appropriate, communicate effectively with the public, and use surveillance and immunization information systems to guide action. In short, the funding supports not only routine immunization delivery and coverage improvement, but also readiness and rapid response functions that protect communities when outbreaks or emerging threats occur.
Eligibility is geared toward governmental public health entities that operate immunization programs at the jurisdiction level. Eligible applicants include state governments, city or township governments, special district governments, and other entities as defined in the opportunitys additional eligibility guidance. The listing shows an expected 64 awards, reflecting broad nationwide coverage across states and other jurisdictions. The CFDA (now commonly referred to through Assistance Listing) number associated with this program is 93.268, which corresponds to CDC immunization-related assistance.
Key administrative details in the source information include the opportunity category (discretionary), the activity category (health), and the application deadline structure for electronic submissions, which required applications to be submitted by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the listed due date (Original Closing Date: April 8, 2019). The posted award ceiling is listed as 0, which typically indicates the ceiling is not specified in that field and may vary by recipient, formula, or program guidance rather than being capped at a single published maximum amount.
Overall, this cooperative agreement is aimed at strengthening the core infrastructure of immunization programs: ensuring vaccines are available and properly managed, improving vaccination coverage and equity, supporting surveillance and evaluation, educating providers and the public, and maintaining strong preparedness and response capacity for vaccine-preventable disease events.Apply for CDC RFA IP19 1901
