Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA IP 20 005
The Rapid-Cycle Survey Collaborative for Patient and Provider Input on Immunization Issues (Funding Opportunity Number RFA-IP-20-005) is a CDC cooperative agreement designed to create and maintain a fast, reliable way to gather timely feedback on urgent and emerging vaccination topics. The core idea is to support a standing survey capability that can quickly field multiple national surveys each year, drawing from scientifically selected, nationally representative samples of both healthcare providers and members of the public. By emphasizing sound methodology and adequate response rates, the program is meant to produce findings that can be generalized beyond the survey sample and used with confidence by public health decision-makers.
The opportunity focuses on two main populations. On the provider side, surveys should target physicians who routinely deliver or counsel on vaccinations, specifically pediatricians, family physicians, obstetrician/gynecologists, and general internists, or an appropriate combination of those groups. On the public side, surveys should cover individuals ages 18 years and older and intentionally include subpopulations that often drive or are heavily affected by immunization policy and practice decisions. Examples named in the announcement include pregnant women, parents of children ages 0 to 5, and people living with chronic medical conditions. This design reflects the need to understand not only general attitudes and behaviors, but also the perspectives of groups for whom vaccine guidance, uptake barriers, and risk-benefit considerations can be different.
The expected work has two annualized objectives throughout the project period. First, the awardee is expected to conduct multiple surveys every year of both providers and the public, using methods rigorous enough to support national inference. That implies careful sampling, questionnaire design, fielding approaches that reduce bias, and steps to secure strong participation so results are credible and usable. Second, the awardee must disseminate results broadly and in a practical form so they can be acted on, not just archived. The intended uses of the survey findings are explicitly tied to real-world immunization decisions, including helping inform recommendations for new vaccines, guiding strategies to improve vaccination coverage, and supporting contingency planning for urgent operational challenges such as vaccine supply shortages or other time-sensitive disruptions.
Administratively, this is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), using a cooperative agreement mechanism. That structure generally indicates substantial federal involvement, meaning CDC is likely to work closely with the recipient on priorities, timing, and deliverables to ensure the survey system can respond quickly to pressing immunization questions. The program is listed under CFDA 93.185 and anticipated a single award, with an award ceiling of $500,000. Eligible applicants were broad and included various levels of government, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, tribal governments and tribal organizations, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement). The notice was created October 29, 2019, with an original application closing date of February 25, 2020, and submissions due by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date.
Overall, the grant is essentially about building a rapid-response, nationally representative survey engine that can capture what clinicians and the public are thinking and doing around immunization in near real time, then translating those insights into widely shared evidence that helps CDC and partners make better, faster decisions about vaccine policy, communication, and program implementation.Apply for RFA IP 20 005

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the Rapid-Cycle Survey Collaborative for Patient and Provider Input on Immunization Issues?
It is a CDC cooperative agreement (Funding Opportunity Number RFA-IP-20-005) intended to create and maintain a rapid, reliable survey capability that can collect timely feedback on urgent and emerging immunization topics from both healthcare providers and the U.S. public.
What is the main purpose of this funding opportunity?
The purpose is to support a standing “rapid-response” survey engine that can field multiple national surveys each year using scientifically selected, nationally representative samples. The goal is to produce findings that public health decision-makers can use with confidence for real-world immunization decisions.
Why does the program emphasize nationally representative sampling and response rates?
The program is designed to generate results that can be generalized beyond the people who happened to respond to a survey. Emphasizing sound methodology and adequate response rates helps reduce bias and increases confidence that findings reflect national patterns among providers and the public.
Who are the provider populations that should be surveyed?
Provider surveys should target physicians who routinely deliver or counsel on vaccinations, specifically pediatricians, family physicians, obstetrician/gynecologists (OB/GYNs), and general internists, or an appropriate combination of those groups.
Who are the public populations that should be surveyed?
Public surveys should include individuals ages 18 years and older and should intentionally include subpopulations that often influence or are heavily affected by immunization policy and practice decisions.
Which public subpopulations are specifically mentioned as examples?
The announcement names examples such as pregnant women, parents of children ages 0 to 5, and people living with chronic medical conditions.
What kinds of topics are these surveys expected to cover?
The surveys are meant to gather timely feedback on urgent and emerging vaccination topics. The program is framed around near real-time insight into what clinicians and the public are thinking and doing related to immunization.
How often are surveys expected to be conducted?
The awardee is expected to conduct multiple surveys every year of both providers and the public, as part of annualized objectives that repeat throughout the project period.
What are the two main annualized objectives described for this project?
First, conduct multiple rigorous, nationally inferable surveys each year among both providers and the public. Second, disseminate results broadly and in practical forms so the findings can be used for action, not just stored.
What does “rigorous enough to support national inference” mean in this context?
It implies careful sampling and questionnaire design, fielding approaches that reduce bias, and steps to secure strong participation so results are credible and can be interpreted as reflecting national populations rather than only the survey respondents.
What is meant by “rapid-cycle” or “rapid-response” survey capability?
It refers to maintaining an ongoing, ready-to-deploy survey system that can quickly field surveys multiple times per year to address time-sensitive immunization issues as they arise.
How are survey results expected to be used?
The findings are intended to support real-world immunization decisions, including informing recommendations for new vaccines, guiding strategies to improve vaccination coverage, and supporting contingency planning for urgent operational challenges.
What are examples of urgent operational challenges this program aims to support?
The opportunity specifically mentions time-sensitive disruptions such as vaccine supply shortages, as well as other urgent challenges where rapid feedback can support planning and response.
What does it mean that this is a cooperative agreement?
A cooperative agreement is a funding mechanism that generally indicates substantial federal involvement. In this opportunity, that suggests CDC is likely to work closely with the recipient on priorities, timing, and deliverables so the survey system can respond quickly to pressing immunization questions.
Which federal agency and department are offering this opportunity?
This is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
What is the CFDA number associated with this program?
The program is listed under CFDA 93.185.
