Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA SH 18 000
RFA-SH-18-000 is a discretionary federal funding opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and it is administered through the CDC ERA (electronic research administration) system. The opportunity uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which typically means the CDC expects to have substantial involvement in carrying out the funded work compared with a standard grant. The funding activity category is Health, and the listing is associated with CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) number 93.136.
This opportunity is configured to accept what the notice calls "Type 6 Applications." The posted description is very brief and does not spell out the program purpose, required activities, or application content in the excerpt provided. In practice, "submit application as necessary for Type 6 Applications" usually indicates this is a mechanism for specific kinds of submissions under an existing CDC program structure, often involving defined administrative or continuation actions rather than a typical open competition with a detailed narrative scope. Applicants would need to rely on the full CDC ERA instructions and the opportunity's detailed guidance (if provided in the full announcement package) to understand what qualifies as a Type 6 application, what forms and attachments are required, and what triggers the need to submit.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with a note to consult an additional eligibility text field for clarification. That means eligibility is not clearly defined in the summary fields alone, and the definitive list of eligible applicant types would be contained in the full announcement details (for example, whether it includes state or local governments, universities, nonprofits, tribal organizations, for-profits, or other entities). Without that supplemental eligibility text, the safest interpretation is that eligibility may be limited to a particular set of entities or possibly to existing awardees under related CDC cooperative agreements, but the posted snippet does not confirm this.
The opportunity was created on October 19, 2023, and has an original closing date of October 13, 2025, which suggests a long application window. The announcement indicates an expectation of 100 awards, but the award ceiling is listed as 0. A zero ceiling in these summary fields often signals that the upper funding limit is not specified in this particular listing, may be determined by other constraints (such as negotiated budgets, available appropriations, or project-specific needs), or may be captured elsewhere in the full notice rather than in the top-line metadata.
In short, RFA-SH-18-000 is a CDC cooperative agreement opportunity in the health category (Assistance Listing 93.136) with a long open period and an anticipated high number of awards, but with key practical details (scope, eligibility specifics, and funding limits) not provided in the brief description. To act on it, an applicant would need to consult the full CDC ERA posting for the Type 6 application definition, any specific instructions, and the additional eligibility language referenced by the notice.Apply for RFA SH 18 000
