Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA DP15 15140501SUPP20
The Paul Coverdell National Acute Stroke Prevention grant opportunity (CDC-RFA-DP15-15140501SUPP20) is a CDC cooperative agreement designed as supplemental funding for organizations that were already funded under the earlier program announcement CDC-RFA-DP15-1514. The main intent is twofold: to add resources on top of existing awards and to extend the current project period of performance through June 29, 2021. In practical terms, this supplement is meant to keep established statewide or regional stroke system work moving forward without interruption, while also strengthening the work already underway in the fifth year of the parent award.
At its core, the underlying Coverdell program focuses on improving stroke systems of care by using data to find gaps, measure performance, and drive quality improvement across the full continuum of stroke care. That continuum includes what happens before a patient reaches the hospital (for example, emergency response and transport), what happens in the hospital (assessment, imaging, treatment, and acute management), and what happens after discharge (transitions of care, follow-up services, and secondary prevention). The supplement continues this same emphasis, building on mature program infrastructure and relationships rather than starting new systems from scratch.
The activities supported by this supplemental funding are very operational and system-oriented. Recipients are expected to continue collecting stroke-related data across pre-hospital, in-hospital, and post-hospital settings, which is essential for understanding patient flow and outcomes across the entire system. They must also maintain the established data management system used to collect, link, and manage those data, with a strong emphasis on data quality. That includes validation, linkage, integration, and ensuring consistent, reliable reporting so that the information can be used for real improvement work rather than just compliance reporting.
A major requirement is to actively analyze and use the collected data to improve care and especially transitions of care for stroke patients, such as handoffs between EMS and hospitals, or discharge planning and follow-up that reduce complications and readmissions. Recipients must also submit data to CDC in line with CDC guidelines, meaning the work is not only local but feeds into broader national monitoring and learning about stroke systems performance.
The supplement also prioritizes coordination and partnership-based quality improvement. Programs are expected to coordinate implementation of quality improvement activities with emergency medical services and hospital partners, reflecting the reality that stroke outcomes depend on how well these partners work together under shared protocols and performance goals. Recipients are also expected to coordinate and promote public stroke messaging, supporting community awareness and timely recognition of stroke symptoms, which can improve time-to-treatment and outcomes.
Governance and sustained collaboration are built into the expectations as well. Funded recipients must maintain a program steering committee to advise and guide program direction, help align partners, and keep improvement efforts focused. They must also continue partnerships with state and/or regional EMS directors, reinforcing the system-level approach and ensuring that pre-hospital care leaders stay engaged in performance improvement and protocol alignment.
Administratively, this opportunity is run by the Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (specifically within NCCDPHP). It is a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement mechanism, which generally means CDC will have substantial involvement in the work through technical assistance, guidance, and collaboration. Eligible applicants are state governments and special district governments, and the CFDA number listed is 93.810. The application window opened April 27, 2020, with an original closing date of May 27, 2020 (applications due by 11:59 p.m. ET). The award ceiling is $750,000, with an estimated 9 awards expected, reflecting targeted supplemental support for existing program recipients rather than a broad, open competition for entirely new entrants.Apply for CDC RFA DP15 15140501SUPP20
