Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA DP 17 001
The funding opportunity titled Community Characteristics Associated with Geographic Disparities in Diabetes and Cardiometabolic Health (RFA DP 17 001) is a CDC cooperative agreement intended to improve understanding of why type 2 diabetes and related cardiometabolic conditions cluster differently across places, especially at the county level. The central goal is to move beyond simply documenting that geographic disparities exist and instead test specific, evidence-driven hypotheses about what community conditions help explain those patterns. In practical terms, the opportunity is designed to support research that links differences in diabetes and cardiometabolic outcomes to environmental and socioeconomic circumstances, with an emphasis on determinants that vary by county and could plausibly contribute to uneven disease burden.
The FOA is structured around two interconnected components. Component A funds multi-site research teams that will directly examine county-level disparities in type 2 diabetes and cardiometabolic conditions. Applicants under Component A are expected to propose and test hypotheses that clarify how environmental factors (for example, aspects of the built environment, access to healthy foods, walkability, transportation, neighborhood resources, or other place-based exposures) and/or socioeconomic conditions (such as poverty, employment, education, housing stability, or broader measures of deprivation and opportunity) contribute to geographic differences in disease outcomes. A key feature of Component A is that awardees will not operate as fully independent projects; instead, they will be asked to work together across funded sites to create a shared approach for certain elements of the study. Specifically, Component A awardees are expected to form a common protocol and a shared data management plan, including agreement on a core set of exposure and outcome variables that each site will collect in a consistent way. That requirement is intended to make pooled or harmonized multi-center analyses possible, strengthening the ability to compare counties, test common models, and generate findings that are more generalizable than a single-site study.
Component B supports a single study Coordinating Center (CC). The Coordinating Center is intended to serve as the operational backbone for the overall multi-center effort, providing logistics support, data management infrastructure, and analysis support to the network of Component A projects. In other words, while Component A sites focus on the substantive epidemiologic and determinants research in counties, the Component B awardee helps keep the collaboration functioning as one coherent study by coordinating processes, standardizing data workflows, facilitating protocol alignment, and enabling combined analyses across sites. This structure reflects the cooperative agreement mechanism, where substantial involvement and coordination are expected to achieve shared deliverables and cross-site integration rather than isolated research outputs.
The CDC anticipated making a total of five awards under this announcement: four awards for Component A research projects and one award for the Component B Coordinating Center. The award ceiling listed is $800,000, indicating the maximum amount that could be provided per award (subject to CDC decisions and the approved budget). Because the FOA is a cooperative agreement, recipients should generally expect ongoing collaboration with CDC and other awardees, milestone-driven coordination, and shared planning around protocols and data elements, especially given the explicit requirement for multi-center compatibility.
Eligibility is broad and includes many government, academic, nonprofit, and private-sector entities. Eligible applicants include state, county, and city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (outside of higher education); for-profit organizations (other than small businesses); small businesses; and other entities as described in the full eligibility text. The opportunity is listed under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and carries CFDA number 93.068, aligning it with CDC’s broader public health and disease prevention mission.
There are also important submission and award restrictions tied to how the two components work together. An institution, typically identified through a unique DUNS number, is limited to submitting no more than one application for Component A and no more than one application for Component B. However, an institution cannot receive more than one award under this FOA. In practical terms, if an institution were awarded the Coordinating Center (Component B), it would not also receive a Component A award, and vice versa. That constraint is meant to avoid conflicts and ensure the coordinating role remains distinct from the site-level research roles.
The FOA was created on December 10, 2016, with an original application closing date of February 14, 2017. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. Overall, this announcement funded a coordinated, multi-center research effort aimed at identifying community characteristics that drive geographic disparities in diabetes and cardiometabolic health, while deliberately building in shared measurement and centralized coordination so that findings could be compared and combined across multiple settings.Apply for RFA DP 17 001
