archived

This CDC Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), supported by funds available to CDC under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (“Recovery Act” or “ARRA”), Public Law 111-5, invites cooperative agreement (U48) applications from Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Research Centers (PRCs) to perform comparative effectiveness research (CER) that compares innovative public health strategies or interventions, in new settings or populations (such as minorities or people with disabilities), preferably includes CER that assesses the impact of policy and environmental interventions, and includes new endpoints such as biologic measures or combined clinical and social interventions. It should be noted, however, that if biologic measures are included, then related, validated, or generally accepted health outcomes should also be included as part of the same research proposal.
