Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA IP17 1703
The National Organization to Strengthen and Support a Network of Immunization Program Managers (CDC RFA IP17 1703) is a CDC funding opportunity designed to bolster the skills, coordination, and overall effectiveness of immunization program managers who run or support federally funded immunization efforts. Issued by the Department of Health and Human Services through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (NCIRD), this opportunity uses a cooperative agreement model, meaning the recipient is expected to work closely with CDC rather than operating entirely independently. The overarching purpose is to strengthen the people and systems responsible for day-to-day immunization program leadership so programs can more consistently meet performance expectations and sustain high vaccination coverage while keeping vaccine-preventable disease rates low.
The project is structured as a five-year effort, with roughly $400,000 available per 12-month budget period and an award ceiling of $600,000. CDC anticipated making one award, which suggests the agency intended to fund a single national organization capable of convening and supporting a broad network of immunization leaders across jurisdictions. The work is explicitly tied to helping immunization programs achieve the goals of CDC-RFA-IP13-1301, Immunization and Vaccines for Children Program. In practical terms, the funded organization is meant to function as a backbone support entity that helps program managers perform better and adapt faster by improving their access to training, tools, and peer expertise.
The opportunity centers on four connected strategies. First, it supports training and resource development on select topics relevant to immunization program management, which can include building standardized materials, practical guidance, and learning opportunities that program managers can readily apply. Second, it emphasizes education about and dissemination of practices associated with program improvement, focusing on spreading effective approaches and lessons learned so jurisdictions do not have to reinvent solutions to common operational challenges. Third, it calls for mentoring and leadership development activities, recognizing that strong immunization outcomes depend not only on technical know-how but also on management, decision-making, and the ability to lead teams and partnerships. Fourth, it prioritizes facilitating communication and information sharing among key partners, which is aimed at strengthening coordination, reducing information gaps, and enabling faster alignment across immunization stakeholders.
The expected results are framed in terms of practical improvements in the immunization workforce and program operations. By the end of the award, immunization program managers are expected to show increased knowledge and capacity, along with better access to tools and resources that support program performance. The intended long-run effect is a stronger ability to manage federally funded immunization programs effectively, which in turn supports the broader public health goals of maintaining high immunization coverage and preventing outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases.
