Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA DP 17 005
Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Research Centers: Special Interest Project Competitive Supplements (SIPS) is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) funding opportunity from the Department of Health and Human Services designed to provide competitive supplemental support to existing Prevention Research Centers (PRCs). Issued as RFA DP 17 005 under CFDA 93.135, the program uses a cooperative agreement mechanism, meaning awardees should expect active collaboration with CDC staff and ongoing coordination around project aims, performance expectations, and dissemination activities. The main purpose is to strengthen applied, real-world public health prevention research by helping PRCs design, test, and spread strategies that can reduce major causes of disease and disability.
The focus of the supplements is on prevention approaches that are practical and scalable. Projects can include behavioral interventions that influence health-related actions and decision-making, but the opportunity also emphasizes broader environmental, policy, or system-level solutions. In other words, proposals are not limited to individual behavior change; they can also address the conditions and structures that shape health, such as how services are delivered, how schools implement health programs, or how community systems support prevention. A key expectation is that funded work will not stop at research design and testing, but will also prioritize dissemination so that effective strategies can be adopted beyond the initial study setting.
Research topics are expected to align with national public health priorities, specifically referencing Healthy People 2020 topic areas. The opportunity highlights arthritis, cancer, HIV/STD and sexual health, and school-based health as examples of priority domains. Applicants are therefore encouraged to propose projects that clearly connect to these areas and demonstrate how their prevention strategies address significant drivers of illness, disability, or health inequities. The overall intent is to generate evidence that is actionable for public health practice and that can be translated into programs, guidelines, or system changes that improve population health outcomes.
In terms of basic funding details, the award ceiling is listed as $600,000, with an estimated six awards expected. The opportunity was created on December 21, 2016, with an original application deadline of February 22, 2017, and electronic submissions required by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. Eligibility is described broadly as “Others,” with additional eligibility clarification referenced in the full announcement; however, the program is explicitly framed as supplemental funding for Prevention Research Centers, indicating that the practical eligible pool is PRCs positioned to carry out these special interest projects under the PRC framework.Apply for RFA DP 17 005
