National Foundation for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

The National Foundation for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is receiving funding to support administrative expenses that enhance the CDC’s ability to advance its mission of protecting public health by building strategic partnerships across domestic and global platforms. This funding is specifically designated for non-research activities that align with CDC’s mission and strategic priorities, enabling the foundation to facilitate collaboration between CDC and external partners to respond more effectively to health threats. Performance is measured through tangible outcomes such as the number of programs and projects supported and the extent of participation from CDC Centers and Offices in these initiatives, ensuring accountability and alignment with agency-wide performance goals. Applications must clearly demonstrate that proposed activities do not constitute research as defined by CDC’s official guidelines, and any submission involving research will be ineligible for review. The funding opportunity is publicly forecasted with a posted date of August 6, 2026, under the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention within the Department of Health and Human Services. All inquiries should be directed to Page Flynn at ijf4@cdc.gov or via phone at 404-718-1415. The program is administered without a specific set-aside designation and is open to eligible organizations supporting CDC’s non-research administrative needs. Details and official guidance can be accessed through the Grants.gov listing, with the definition of research referenced on CDC’s grants website.
