Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA IP21 2107
The CDC grant opportunity titled "Partnering with Professional and Medical Associations to Increase Vaccination Coverage Across Different Racial and Ethnic Adult Populations Experiencing Disparities" focuses on strengthening adult vaccination uptake while directly addressing racial and ethnic gaps in coverage. The core idea behind the program is that disparities are not only driven by access issues, but also by differences in how vaccination is recommended, discussed, and delivered within clinical settings. CDC is looking to expand the evidence base for what actually works to increase adult vaccination rates in communities experiencing lower coverage, and to translate that evidence into practical approaches that professional and medical associations can spread widely through their networks.
A central premise of the opportunity is the importance of a strong provider recommendation. CDC highlights that a clinician recommendation is consistently one of the most influential factors in whether a patient accepts a vaccine, largely because clinicians are often viewed as trusted sources on vaccine questions. The opportunity places special emphasis on supporting providers of color, based on the idea that race or ethnic concordance between provider and patient can increase trust and improve the effectiveness of vaccine conversations. In practical terms, CDC wants strategies that make it more likely that clinicians, especially those from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups, confidently and consistently recommend vaccination to adult patients from communities experiencing disparities.
The work is organized around three main areas. First, applicants are expected to develop, implement, and disseminate strategies and resources aimed at individual clinicians. This includes creating messaging and educational supports that help clinicians address equity issues in vaccine communication and delivery, such as racial and health equity-focused messaging, trainings, and ready-to-use materials for clinical practice. These resources are meant to be actionable, not abstract, so they can be integrated into routine patient interactions and used across different clinical environments.
Second, the opportunity calls for strategies and resources aimed at healthcare organizations, not just individual providers. CDC is asking for tools and guidance that help clinics, health systems, and professional groups improve equity in vaccine administration through their policies and workflows. Examples include recommended organizational processes, practical implementation guidance, and approaches that associations can share with their members to reduce inequities in how adult vaccines are offered, documented, and followed up. The intent is to push changes that stick at the systems level, such as standardized practices that reduce missed opportunities for vaccination and improve consistency across providers and sites.
Third, CDC wants recipients to help strengthen and refine the broader resource and evidence ecosystem supporting this work. Awardees are expected to collaborate with CDC-supported infrastructure like a Learning Hub, Data Hub, and Media Center to review existing materials, identify gaps, improve content, and update resources based on feedback and evidence. This element is about continuous improvement: building better tools over time, aligning them with real-world needs, and ensuring that promising approaches can be shared and scaled through professional and medical association channels.
Administratively, this opportunity is a discretionary cooperative agreement, meaning CDC anticipates substantial involvement with awardees during implementation rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. It is listed under CFDA 93.185 and was released by the Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, through NCIRD. Eligible applicants include nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education) and other eligible entities as described in the full eligibility text. The funding opportunity number is CDC RFA IP21 2107. The posting was created on January 6, 2021, with an original application deadline of January 19, 2021, and applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. CDC anticipated making about three awards; the public listing shows an award ceiling of 0, which typically indicates that the maximum award amount was not specified in the summarized field and would need to be confirmed in the full announcement.
Overall, the grant is designed to mobilize trusted messengers and the professional organizations that influence clinical norms, with the goal of improving adult vaccination coverage while reducing persistent racial and ethnic disparities. It prioritizes practical clinician-facing and organization-level interventions, combined with collaboration and resource development, so that successful strategies can be tested, strengthened, and disseminated broadly through established medical and professional networks.Apply for CDC RFA IP21 2107
