Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA DP19 1905
The CDC Cancer Genomics Program: Translating Research into Public Health Practice (CDC RFA DP19-1905) is a Fiscal Year 2019 funding opportunity from the CDC Division of Cancer Prevention and Control within HHS. It is designed to move established cancer genomics research into real-world public health practice by helping states expand the appropriate use of cancer genetic services as a cancer prevention and control strategy. In practical terms, the program is focused on identifying people who are at elevated inherited risk for certain cancers and making sure they are screened, referred, counseled, and tested when they meet clinical recommendations.
The central public health outcomes CDC is seeking are twofold: first, increasing routine screening for family history of cancer (so that higher-risk individuals can be recognized earlier), and second, increasing the use of genetic counseling and genetic testing for two priority hereditary cancer syndromes among people who meet referral guidelines. Those two syndromes are Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer (HBOC) Syndrome, most commonly associated with pathogenic variants in BRCA1/BRCA2 and related genes, and Lynch Syndrome (LS), associated with inherited mismatch repair gene variants and an increased risk of colorectal, endometrial, and other cancers. The intent is not simply to promote more testing overall, but to improve the appropriate, guideline-based pathway from risk identification to referral and services for individuals who are most likely to benefit.
The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, meaning CDC expects to have substantial involvement with recipients beyond issuing funds, typically through technical assistance, shared planning, and ongoing performance monitoring. The program plans to fund up to five recipients, with an award ceiling of $550,000 per award, to develop, implement, and evaluate state-level cancer genomics programs. While eligibility is described as unrestricted (open to any entity type), applicants are still expected to align with the program’s state-level implementation focus and the specific strategies described in the notice.
Funded work is organized around building the evidence base and spreading best practices through several connected lines of activity. Recipients are expected to strengthen organizational capacity so their programs can reliably deliver cancer genomics public health functions over time, rather than running isolated short-term projects. They are also expected to expand and improve surveillance systems that can measure the hereditary cancer burden, which can include tracking indicators such as family history screening, referral patterns, genetic counseling uptake, genetic testing uptake, and downstream outcomes where feasible. A major emphasis is education and awareness: educating the public about the importance of family cancer history as a risk factor, and educating providers on how to screen for family history and appropriately refer patients to cancer genetic services. Finally, recipients are expected to build partnerships that can drive policy and systems changes, with the explicit goal of increasing access to and use of cancer genetic services. This includes working with healthcare systems, payers, professional groups, laboratories, community organizations, and other stakeholders who influence referral workflows, coverage, clinical decision support, and patient follow-through.
Administratively, the opportunity was published February 15, 2019, with an original application deadline of April 15, 2019 (electronic submissions due by 11:59 p.m. ET). It falls under CFDA 93.380 and the health funding activity category. Overall, the program is aimed at creating scalable state models that show how public health agencies can systematically find people at inherited risk for cancer and connect them to evidence-based genetic counseling and testing, using data, education, partnerships, and systems improvement to make those services more accessible and more consistently used where recommended.Apply for CDC RFA DP19 1905
