Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA PS 16 00202CONT17
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), released a FY2017 continuation funding opportunity titled "Cohort Study to Assess Population Impact of Current and Evolving Chronic Viral Hepatitis Treatment." The purpose of the award is to support ongoing work that uses a cohort study approach to measure how current and changing treatment options for chronic viral hepatitis are affecting population-level outcomes. In practical terms, the opportunity is aimed at generating real-world evidence on the impact of treatment as therapies evolve, which is especially important for chronic infections where new drugs, treatment guidelines, and access patterns can shift quickly and where outcomes may take years to fully observe.
This opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number RFA PS 16 00202CONT17 and is categorized as a continuation award rather than a new standalone competition. That continuation label generally indicates the CDC intended to fund recipients that were already participating in an existing project or program under an earlier related announcement, with the FY2017 solicitation supporting the next budget period or phase of the same overarching effort. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the CDC anticipates having substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds. Cooperative agreements often include active technical collaboration, shared decision-making on key elements, alignment with CDC surveillance or evaluation priorities, and close coordination around protocols, reporting, and dissemination of findings.
The activity category is Health, and the CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number associated with the opportunity is 93.270. The funding opportunity was created on February 7, 2017, and the original application closing date was April 27, 2017. The announcement lists an expected number of awards of 10, suggesting the CDC planned to support multiple sites, partners, or components that together could contribute to a broader cohort-based evaluation of hepatitis treatment impacts. The award ceiling is shown as 0, which in many grant listings can indicate that a single fixed maximum amount was not specified in the public synopsis, that funding levels were determined by the continuation structure, or that final amounts depended on appropriations, negotiated budgets, or recipient-specific scopes of work.
Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," with a note to consult the "Additional Information on Eligibility" section in the full announcement for clarification. In federal grant language, this usually means eligibility is not limited to the common standard categories shown in summary tables and may include specific institutions, organizations, or entities defined in the full text, sometimes tied to prior award status (as is common for continuation opportunities), demonstrated capacity to conduct cohort studies, or the ability to access and follow defined patient populations over time.
Overall, the grant opportunity centers on building or maintaining a cohort study framework to understand the real-world, population-level effects of chronic viral hepatitis treatment in an environment where therapies and clinical practice continue to change. By supporting multiple awards through a cooperative agreement structure, the CDC is signaling a preference for coordinated, comparable data collection and analysis across recipients, with the goal of producing evidence that can inform public health strategy, treatment policy, and future program decisions related to chronic viral hepatitis.Apply for RFA PS 16 00202CONT17

In federal grant summaries, "Others" often means eligibility is not limited to standard categories shown in summary tables and may be defined more specifically in the full text. The description suggests eligibility could be tied to prior award status (common for continuation opportunities), demonstrated capacity to conduct cohort studies, or the ability to access and follow defined patient populations over time.
What research approach does the opportunity emphasize?
The opportunity emphasizes a cohort study approach, meaning maintaining or building a framework to follow defined populations over time to assess outcomes as treatments and practice patterns evolve.
Why does the opportunity focus on "current and evolving" treatments?
The description highlights that chronic infections like viral hepatitis can be affected by rapidly changing drugs, guidelines, and access patterns, while key outcomes may take years to fully observe. The cohort framework is positioned as a way to capture real-world, longer-term population impacts as these changes occur.
How does CDC appear to view coordination across awardees?
By using a cooperative agreement structure and planning multiple awards, the description indicates CDC is signaling a preference for coordinated, comparable data collection and analysis across recipients, with close coordination on protocols and reporting.
What kinds of outcomes or uses of the findings are implied?
The description indicates findings are intended to inform public health strategy, treatment policy, and future program decisions related to chronic viral hepatitis, based on evidence about population-level effects of treatment in real-world settings.
