Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA CE15 15010201SUPP16
The "Prescription Drug Overdose Prevention for States Program Supplement" is a discretionary funding opportunity from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), specifically through the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC). It is offered as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the CDC expects to have substantial involvement with awardees during the project period, such as providing technical assistance, guidance, and ongoing collaboration rather than simply issuing funds with minimal interaction. The opportunity falls under the health funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 93.136.
The main purpose of this supplement is to help a state health department start, broaden, or strengthen work tied to opioid overdose prevention. Rather than creating an entirely new program, the supplement is designed to build on the existing "Prescription Drug Overdose Prevention for States" (PfS) program (FOA CE15-1501). In practical terms, the money is intended to help states accelerate progress by initiating new efforts, scaling up activities that are already underway, or improving the quality and reach of what they are currently doing. The supplement explicitly allows states to focus on preventing overdose involving either prescription opioids or illicit opioids, reflecting the reality that overdose deaths often involve multiple opioid sources and may shift over time.
Funding is limited to a specific group: only state governments are eligible, and even within that category, applicants must be state health departments that are already funded under the PfS CE15-1501 award. This makes the supplement an add-on for current grantees rather than a competition open to all states or other entities. The intent is to leverage established infrastructure, data systems, partnerships, and program capacity that PfS-funded states already have, so that additional funds can translate more quickly into measurable prevention impact.
The supplement supports work aligned with any of the four strategies identified in the original PfS funding announcement. While the source text does not list those strategies, the key point is that the activities proposed under this supplement must connect directly back to those pre-defined strategy areas, and the funding can be used to initiate, expand, or enhance efforts within them. This structure keeps the supplement focused on evidence-informed state-level approaches and encourages continuity with the overarching PfS program goals.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity number is CDC RFA CE15 15010201SUPP16. The original closing date for applications was June 27, 2016, and the opportunity was created on May 26, 2016. The award ceiling is $1,000,000 per award, and the CDC anticipated making about 20 awards. Taken together, these details suggest a relatively large, time-limited infusion of resources intended to help a significant number of already-funded states increase the scale and effectiveness of their overdose prevention work during a critical period in the opioid epidemic.Apply for CDC RFA CE15 15010201SUPP16
