Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA CK21 2102
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and specifically NCEZID, offered a discretionary cooperative agreement titled "Strengthening Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF) prevention and control in Arizona tribal lands" (Funding Opportunity Number: CDC RFA CK21 2102; CFDA 93.772). The opportunity was created on March 8, 2021, with applications originally due May 14, 2021 (submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time). The program anticipated making up to 6 awards, with an award ceiling of $350,000, and eligibility was limited to federally recognized Native American tribal governments.
This funding was designed in response to unusually severe RMSF impacts in parts of Arizona tribal lands, where the disease has occurred at epidemic levels. The notice highlights that in certain tribal communities the annual incidence has been more than 150 times the national average, and that children are heavily affected, with more than half of cases occurring in pediatric populations. Because RMSF is a tick-borne disease influenced by people, animals, and the local environment, the opportunity emphasizes that effective prevention cannot be handled by clinical services alone and instead requires coordinated work across human health, animal health, and environmental or vector-management partners.
The core purpose of the NOFO was to provide resources directly to impacted tribal nations so they could build, sustain, and improve community-based RMSF prevention and control programs. The CDC aimed to support tribes in expanding the use of evidence-based interventions, strengthening local systems that reduce tick exposure and transmission risk, and improving how programs measure progress over time. A key theme of the announcement is capacity building: the CDC sought to fund tribes not only to carry out activities, but also to strengthen tribal public health systems so prevention and response efforts can be maintained and improved beyond the life of a single project.
The funded work was framed around several major activity areas. One focus was the implementation and adaptation of evidence-based interventions to reduce RMSF, recognizing that approaches proven effective elsewhere often need tailoring to local conditions, community practices, and available services. Another major component was communications: applicants were expected to develop, disseminate, and evaluate locally grounded communication plans and products so community members receive clear, relevant guidance about prevention, risk reduction, and when to seek care. The opportunity also called for formal program evaluation, signaling that tribes would be supported in assessing how well their current prevention strategies are working and in using results to refine operations and improve outcomes.
A further priority involved strengthening the practical support services that make prevention possible day to day. The NOFO specifically points to animal control, vector control, and environmental management as critical services in communities facing RMSF outbreaks. Funding could support efforts such as training staff, purchasing or maintaining necessary equipment, improving operational capacity within tribal programs, or using contracted services when that is the most feasible option locally. Alongside these service improvements, the opportunity stressed the importance of enhanced tracking of key progress indicators, so tribes can monitor implementation, document changes in risk factors or service coverage, and demonstrate measurable advancement in prevention and control.
Overall, this cooperative agreement opportunity was structured to help federally recognized Arizona tribal nations confronting extremely high RMSF burden build stronger, better-coordinated prevention programs that combine evidence-based interventions, culturally and locally meaningful communication, improved vector and animal-related services, and solid monitoring and evaluation to guide continuous improvement and accountability.Apply for CDC RFA CK21 2102
