Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA OT 18 000
RFA-OT-18-000 is a discretionary federal grant opportunity issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), using CDC's ERA (electronic research administration) system. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally means the award is not a hands-off grant; CDC typically expects to have substantial involvement during the period of performance, such as participating in planning, providing technical assistance, coordinating activities, or helping guide implementation. The activity area is health, and the listing is associated with CFDA number 93.136.
The posted description is very brief and indicates that applicants should "submit application as necessary for Type 6 Applications." In practice, language like this often signals a continuation, amendment, supplement, or other administratively specific submission type rather than a typical open, competitive notice inviting entirely new projects. Because the opportunity text does not define "Type 6" in the posting itself, the exact meaning would depend on CDC's internal ERA application types and the instructions contained in the full announcement package or the ERA application guidance tied to this specific funding number. Applicants would typically need to confirm what qualifies as a Type 6 submission (for example, whether it is a particular continuation action, a change request, or another special category) before preparing an application, because the required forms, budget structure, and review pathway can differ from a standard competitive application.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with a note to consult the additional eligibility text for clarification. That wording usually means eligibility is limited or specialized and is defined elsewhere in the full notice or the accompanying eligibility section in the system. In other words, not every organization should assume it can apply based solely on this summary field; the controlling language would be the detailed eligibility criteria in the full announcement.
Key timing and scale details are also included. The opportunity record was created on October 20, 2023, and the original closing date is October 13, 2025, which suggests the submission window is long and may support applications over an extended period as needs arise. The posting lists an award ceiling of 0, which typically indicates that a maximum award amount is not specified in the summary fields (or is determined case-by-case), rather than implying awards have no value. The expected number of awards is 100, suggesting CDC anticipates making a sizable number of cooperative agreements or processing many actions under this opportunity over its open period.
Overall, the opportunity appears to function as a CDC cooperative agreement mechanism tied to health-related activities under CFDA 93.136, with a long submission window and an administrative instruction emphasizing Type 6 applications. To respond appropriately, an applicant would need to consult the full funding opportunity package in CDC ERA (especially the eligibility language and the definition and requirements for Type 6 submissions) to understand who can apply, what programmatic work is being supported, what application components are required, and how CDC will be involved under the cooperative agreement structure.Apply for RFA OT 18 000
