DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
Discontinued Publication of Funding Opportunity Announcements
AGENCY: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
ACTION: Notice of New Procedure.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Important notice regarding: (1) Discontinued publication of Funding
Opportunity Announcements (FOAs) in the Federal Register; and (2) FOA
announcement and application submission via Grants.gov. CDC announces
plans to publish all FOAs on http://www.grants.gov and accept
electronic applications through this site. All application packages
will be posted on Grants.gov, as well, utilizing the PHS5161-1 forms
for non-research applications and the new form SF 424 Research and
Related (R&R) application for research. Grants.gov will feed the form
424 (R&R) packages directly into the Health and Human Services
electronic Research Administration Commons for on-line receipt of
research applications.
As of October 1, 2005, CDC ceased publication of all FOAs in The
Federal Register. CDC currently announces these FOAs, also known as
Requests for Application (RFAs) and Program Announcements (PAs), via
the Grants.gov on-line submission system. Applicants are able to find a
synopsis and attachments of the complete text of all CDC grants and
cooperative agreements, as well as apply electronically for
opportunities, via http://www.Grants.gov All FOAs will continue to be posted on the CDC Web site (http://www.cdc.gov/od/pgo/funding/FOAs.htm.)
htm.)
and on the NIH Guide (http://grants1.nih.gov/grants/guide/index.html),
for research.
The provisions of the Federal Financial Assistance Management
Improvement Act of 1999 (Public Law 106-107) and the President's
Management Agenda have led Federal Agencies to simplify Federal
financial assistance application requirements and create a single Web
site to apply for Federal assistance. Accordingly, Grants.gov (http://www.grants.gov/
) has been designated by the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) as the single access point for all grant programs offered
by 26 Federal grant-making agencies. It provides a single interface for
agencies to announce their grant opportunities, and for all grant
applicants to find and apply for these opportunities.
The PHS-5161-1 application package will be posted in Grants.gov for
CDC non-research application submissions. A transition from the PHS
Form 398 package to the SF 424 (R&R) forms will allow electronic
submission of research applications through Grants.gov.
Getting Started--Grants.gov and HHS eRA Commons Registration
To provide a secure environment, the submission of electronic
applications to HHS and CDC will require organizations to register with
Grants.gov (http://www.grants.gov/applicants/applicants.jsp), and, in
addition, for Research Grants, the applicant will also have to register
with HHS eRA Commons (https://commons.era.nih.gov/commons/). Grants.gov
registration provides the ability to submit applications electronically
to at least 26 Federal grant-making agencies. HHS eRA Commons
registration allows tracking of research application status for the
potential grantee organization and Principal Investigator.
