Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA OT18 18040102SUPP19
This CDC supplemental cooperative agreement opportunity, titled "Technical Assistance for Response to Public Health or Healthcare Crises: HURRICANE SUPPLEMENTAL" (CDC RFA OT18 18040102SUPP19), is designed to provide additional funding to a specific set of national partner organizations that were already funded under the earlier CDC-RFA-OT18-1804 program. The main purpose is to extend and strengthen work tied directly to response and recovery from the 2017 hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria, particularly by supporting fast-moving, practical assistance that state, territorial, tribal, and local jurisdictions may not be able to execute quickly through normal hiring and procurement systems. In plain terms, CDC is using established national partners as rapid-response implementers who can mobilize people, services, and supplies without the usual delays that can slow emergency operations.
The opportunity is grounded in the scale and severity of the 2017 Atlantic hurricane season, which caused widespread damage across parts of the Caribbean and the southeastern United States and required CDC to activate its Emergency Operations Center. As part of that broader response, CDC's Center for State, Tribal, Local, and Territorial Support (CSTLTS) activated the Partner Crisis Cooperative Agreement model to help jurisdictions with response, recovery, and mitigation needs. The background narrative emphasizes that one of the most critical forms of support has been expedited acquisition of personnel and equipment, because jurisdictions often cannot hire, contract, or purchase fast enough under standard rules to meet urgent public health demands. CDC therefore relies on these crisis partners to move quickly, manage projects, coordinate stakeholders, and provide administrative oversight for CDC-supported work.
Funding under this supplement is meant to sustain or expand ongoing hurricane-related activities that remain within the approved scope of the parent award (CDC-RFA-OT18-1804). Allowable activities highlighted in the announcement include staffing, procurement, and direct technical assistance. The program is structured around two core strategies. The first strategy focuses on effective process implementation, recognizing that in crisis settings the speed and coordination of transactions and deployments can directly affect outcomes. Applicants are expected to demonstrate strong capacity in expedited procurement (including the ability to bypass normal acquisition timelines when appropriate to accelerate delivery), agile administration and operations (responding rapidly to requests, building quick deployment plans, and executing administrative steps with tight coordination and communication), and strategic partnering (rapid engagement of multi-sector partners to expand reach and capability).
The second strategy centers on providing critical content expertise, built on the operational backbone described in Strategy 1. Recipients must show they can deliver support in one or more substantive service areas that jurisdictions need during emergency recovery. These content areas include administrative logistics, such as travel, transportation, shipping, printing, transcription, meeting and event support, and small purchases; communications capabilities, such as situational awareness, risk communication, media support, monitoring and reporting, translation that is culturally and linguistically appropriate, graphics, editing, and training development and delivery; and human resources and specialized expertise, such as recruiting and hiring, onboarding and payroll, general staff augmentation, and sourcing specialized public health skill sets like epidemiology, entomology, infectious disease, environmental health, and emergency response functions. The announcement also defines "direct services" in a specific way: it does not mean providing medical care, but rather performing discrete emergency response activities on behalf of another entity when there is a capability gap that CDC believes could undermine the overall response if not filled.
Administratively, this is a discretionary funding opportunity issued by the Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (OSTLTS), using a cooperative agreement funding instrument, which typically implies substantial CDC involvement through collaboration, guidance, and coordination during the period of performance. The CFDA number is 93.391. The opportunity was created on April 12, 2019, with an application deadline of June 14, 2019 at 11:59 PM Eastern time. CDC anticipated up to nine awards, with an award ceiling of $650,000. Eligibility is limited to the intended pool described in the notice: national partner organizations that previously received awards under CDC-RFA-OT18-1804, with the formal eligibility clarification referenced in the "Additional Information on Eligibility" section of the full announcement.
Overall, the supplement is less about launching new hurricane programs from scratch and more about reinforcing an existing, proven rapid-response partner network so it can continue removing bottlenecks for affected jurisdictions. CDC is essentially funding organizations that can do the operational heavy lifting fast, coordinate across partners, and provide specialized public health and emergency management support so that recovery work after Harvey, Irma, and Maria can proceed with fewer delays and stronger execution.Apply for CDC RFA OT18 18040102SUPP19
