Eligibility

3 Steps to Determine Eligibility:

  1. Review eligibility criteria outlined in NOFO
  2. Review criteria against organization status
  3. Contact Grants Management Officers/Specialists (GMO/GMS) if additional assistance is required

All prospective applicants should review the eligibility criteria found in the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). Awards are made to organizations, not individuals. Each NOFO outlines who is eligible to apply, special eligibility requirements, and the justification for eligibility criteria. For more information on CDC’s NOFOs, visit the Application Process.

  • Achieve the desired outcome(s)
  • Provide opportunities to disadvantaged organizations

For Example: Competition may be limited to government organizations including state health departments and large city health departments (populations > 900k); American Indian Tribes and Alaskan Native Villages
