Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA DP20 2003
The National Healthy Brain Initiative (CDC RFA DP20-2003) is a CDC cooperative agreement designed to strengthen public health efforts around brain health, cognitive impairment, and Alzheimer s disease and related dementias (ADRD), while also supporting the often-overlooked needs of unpaid caregivers. Run through the Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (NCCDPHP), the opportunity focuses on helping states, local jurisdictions, and specific high-burden communities put the Healthy Brain Initiative (HBI) Road Map strategies into practice and measure what works. In practical terms, it is meant to move the HBI Road Maps from being planning documents into being widely used public health playbooks that shape programs, communications, training, and policy-aligned action across the country.
The Notice of Funding Opportunity is structured in two distinct components, and applicants must choose only one. Component A funds a single organization with national scope and the ability to work across states to support implementation and evaluation of the HBI State and Local Public Health Partnerships to Address Dementia: The 2018-2023 Road Map (the third in the series) along with its companion document, the Indian Country Road Map. The central role for the Component A awardee is to act as a national backbone organization: creating and packaging information for the public, mobilizing and supporting state and local partners so that Road Map action items are adopted and used, and building training resources for both the current workforce and the next generation of professionals who will encounter ADRD in public health, healthcare, and community settings. Another major expectation is that this national organization will lead development of the fourth State and Local Public Health Road Map, and also create several more targeted or focused road maps (for example, Indian Country updates and language-specific versions or other specialized road maps), with the exact set determined in collaboration with CDC.
Component B is intended to complement and extend the national work by focusing on communities with a high burden of ADRD. Under this component, CDC plans to fund one or more organizations that are closely connected to these populations to develop communication products and messages that resonate culturally and linguistically, and to help carry out the broader Component A activities in ways that are more likely to reach and benefit the people most affected. The underlying idea is that national strategy alone is not enough; to be effective, brain health and dementia-related communication and implementation support must be tailored to the realities of specific communities, especially those facing disproportionate impact.
Across both components, the planned activities emphasize real-world public health deliverables: public-facing informational resources and materials, partner engagement and adoption of Road Map actions, workforce training materials on ADRD, and dissemination of effective brain health messages. The scope explicitly includes caregivers, defined here as unpaid individuals providing care or assistance to someone living with ADRD, recognizing caregiving as a major public health concern tied to stress, health outcomes, and service needs. Because this is a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, recipients should expect substantial involvement from CDC in shaping priorities, refining deliverables, and coordinating Road Map development and dissemination.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary funding opportunity in the health category (CFDA 93.334). Eligibility is broadly described as unrestricted, meaning many entity types can apply as long as they meet any additional eligibility clarifications included in the full announcement text. The opportunity was posted October 8, 2019, with applications originally due January 8, 2020 by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time for electronic submission. The award ceiling is $4,750,000, and CDC anticipated making up to six awards, reflecting the split between a single national Component A award and potentially multiple Component B awards targeted to high-burden populations.Apply for CDC RFA DP20 2003
