Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA PS20 2009
The Integrated Viral Hepatitis Surveillance and Prevention Funding for Health Departments opportunity (CDC RFA PS20-2009) is a CDC cooperative agreement designed to strengthen and modernize viral hepatitis surveillance and prevention efforts across U.S. states and large local jurisdictions. It focuses on building integrated programs that can track, prevent, and respond to hepatitis A, B, and C, with an emphasis on both outbreak readiness and routine public health monitoring. The overall intent is to help health departments develop the data systems, partnerships, and service linkages needed to reduce transmission, detect outbreaks faster, and move jurisdictions toward measurable progress on hepatitis elimination.
A central feature of the program is improving surveillance capacity. The NOFO prioritizes stronger planning and response for viral hepatitis outbreaks and more complete surveillance for acute hepatitis A, acute hepatitis B, acute hepatitis C, and chronic hepatitis C. In practice, that means health departments are expected to improve the quality, completeness, and timeliness of case reporting and investigation, and to use surveillance findings to guide prevention strategies. The opportunity also calls for applicants to promote comprehensive hepatitis B and C reporting, which typically involves working with laboratories, healthcare systems, and providers to ensure required reports are being submitted and that public health agencies can efficiently receive, deduplicate, and analyze them.
Another major expectation is jurisdictional planning for elimination. Applicants are asked to develop a viral hepatitis elimination plan tailored to their local epidemiology and health system landscape. This includes engaging stakeholders and partners who influence prevention and care, such as healthcare providers, hospitals, community-based organizations, correctional health programs, substance use treatment programs, and harm reduction organizations. The elimination planning component is meant to move beyond surveillance alone by using local data to set priorities, coordinate partner roles, and establish practical steps to expand prevention, testing, and treatment access.
The NOFO also emphasizes improving testing policies and expanding the clinical workforce capable of treating hepatitis B and C. Health departments are encouraged to promote better HBV and HCV testing policies, which can involve aligning local guidance with current recommendations, reducing barriers to screening in clinical and nonclinical settings, and supporting reflex testing and confirmatory testing pathways that reduce loss to follow-up. Alongside policy improvements, the program seeks to increase the number of healthcare providers trained to treat hepatitis B and C, addressing a common bottleneck where patients are diagnosed but cannot easily access knowledgeable clinicians who can manage chronic infection and provide or coordinate treatment.
If additional funding is available, the NOFO allows jurisdictions to add several enhanced activities that expand the program’s reach. These optional activities include surveillance for chronic hepatitis B and perinatal hepatitis C, which can help health departments better understand ongoing transmission patterns, identify gaps in prevention of mother-to-child transmission, and strengthen linkage-to-care processes for affected infants and families. Contingent funds can also support increased hepatitis B and C testing and referral to care in high-impact settings where people at elevated risk are more likely to be reached, including syringe services programs, substance use disorder treatment centers, correctional facilities, emergency departments, and sexually transmitted disease clinics. These settings are highlighted because they often serve populations with higher rates of exposure risk, less consistent access to primary care, and greater likelihood of missed opportunities for diagnosis and treatment.
The opportunity also supports, again contingent on funding, expanded access to services that prevent viral hepatitis and other bloodborne infections among people who inject drugs. This focus reflects the overlap in transmission routes for hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and other bloodborne pathogens, and the importance of integrating prevention tools in harm reduction and related services. In addition, there is an optional component aimed at improving access to prevention, diagnosis, and treatment for hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and HIV specifically among people who inject drugs in jurisdictions disproportionately affected by high-risk drug use. This component signals an integrated approach to overlapping epidemics, encouraging coordinated service delivery and reducing fragmentation between hepatitis and HIV-related systems.
The expected outcomes are framed around measurable improvements in public health capacity and access to services. CDC anticipates that funded jurisdictions will strengthen viral hepatitis surveillance overall, increase stakeholder engagement and coordination through elimination planning, and improve access to prevention, diagnosis, and treatment for populations at greatest risk, particularly people who inject drugs and others reached through high-impact settings. Administrative details from the source include that it is a discretionary cooperative agreement under CFDA 93.270, administered by HHS/CDC (NCHHSTP), with eligibility for state governments and local government entities (including counties, cities/townships, and special districts). The opportunity was originally posted March 11, 2020, with an application due date of May 11, 2020, and an expected 58 awards; the listed award ceiling is shown as 0 in the provided record, which typically indicates that the ceiling was not specified in that data extract rather than implying no funding.Apply for CDC RFA PS20 2009
