Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA DP 21 004
Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Research Centers: 2021 Special Interest Project Competitive Supplements (SIPS) is a CDC funding opportunity designed to add targeted, supplemental support to Prevention Research Centers (PRCs) that are already funded under CDC RFA-DP-19-001. The core idea is to help these existing PRCs run Special Interest Projects (SIPs) that strengthen applied public health prevention research in real-world settings, with an emphasis on work that can be designed, tested, evaluated, disseminated, and translated into practice. Rather than supporting purely theoretical studies, the focus is on interventions and tools that can be implemented in communities, health systems, or other practical environments and that can measurably reduce major drivers of illness, disability, and premature death in the United States.
The mechanism for the award is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the CDC expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds. The opportunity sits in the health activity category and is associated with CFDA number 93.135. Eligibility is limited to higher-education institutions, specifically public and state-controlled institutions of higher education as well as private institutions of higher education, reflecting the PRC program's university-based research center model. Importantly, this is not an open competition for any organization; it is intended as a competitive supplement for currently funded PRCs, meaning applicants generally must already hold the underlying PRC award to be considered.
Programmatically, the NOFO emphasizes applied prevention research that produces actionable outputs. Projects are expected to address interventions such as programs, practices, policies, or strategies, along with supporting tools that can be used by practitioners and decision-makers. The language of the announcement highlights the full pipeline from development through evaluation and then to dissemination and translation, signaling that applicants should plan not only to generate evidence but also to actively move findings into broader use. In practice, that often means building partnerships with communities and implementing organizations, designing evaluation approaches suitable for real-world conditions, and producing products or guidance that can be adopted outside the research setting.
The SIP research areas are aligned with Healthy People 2030 priorities, which helps define what topics CDC is looking to advance through these supplements. The listed topic areas include Adolescent Health, Arthritis, Cancer Prevention and Care, Drug and Alcohol Use, Maternal, Infant and Child Health, Mental Health and Mental Disorders, Physical Activity, and Health care access and quality. This alignment indicates CDC is prioritizing prevention research that can improve population health outcomes in these domains, whether through behavior change interventions, health system improvements, policy approaches, community-level strategies, or other evidence-based prevention methods.
Administratively, the opportunity was issued by the Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), with the opportunity number RFA DP 21 004. The posting shows a creation date of December 21, 2020, and an original application due date of February 24, 2021, with applications required to be submitted electronically by 5:00 p.m. ET on the due date. CDC anticipated making around 12 awards, and the listed award ceiling is $3,785,000. Taken together, those figures suggest a limited number of fairly substantial supplemental awards intended to accelerate high-priority prevention research within the established PRC network, leveraging existing infrastructure and partnerships to produce results that can be scaled or replicated.Apply for RFA DP 21 004
