Enhancing Cancer Registries for Early Pediatric and Young Adult Cancer Cases | CDC RFA DP14 140204CONT17

Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA DP14 140204CONT17

The grant opportunity titled "Enhancing Cancer Registries for Early Pediatric and Young Adult Cancer Cases" is a continuation funding notice from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), specifically within the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP) and its Division of Cancer Prevention and Control. The purpose of the continuation is to keep supporting the same set of activities that were originally funded under the earlier announcement "CDC-RFA-DP14-1402," which focused on improving how cancer registries capture and report cancers diagnosed in children, adolescents, and young adults, particularly at or near the time of diagnosis. In practical terms, the program centers on strengthening registry systems and processes so that early case information for pediatric and young adult cancers is more complete, timely, and useful for public health monitoring and action.

This notice is explicitly categorized as a continuation opportunity, meaning it is not an open, competitive solicitation for new applicants. The description states that the funding is intended only for organizations that were previously awarded under the original funding opportunity (CDC-RFA-DP14-1402). The eligible applicant field is listed as "Others," but the continuation language makes clear that eligibility is functionally restricted to existing grantees already participating in the project. The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally signals an arrangement where the CDC is expected to have substantial involvement in the funded work, such as collaborating on project direction, technical assistance, performance monitoring, and alignment with national surveillance standards.

Administratively, the opportunity number is listed as "CDC RFA DP14 140204CONT17," which indicates a continuation action tied to the DP14-1402 initiative and a specific continuation cycle. The activity category is health-related, and it is associated with CFDA number 93.283, which corresponds to CDC cancer prevention and control-related assistance. The record shows an original closing date of 2017-01-17 and a creation date of 2016-11-23, placing it in the timeframe when CDC was issuing continuation support for ongoing registry enhancement efforts. The award ceiling is shown as 0 and the expected awards field is blank, which is common in continuation notices where funding levels and the number of awards are predetermined by prior awards, budget negotiations, and appropriations rather than a new competition with a published cap.

In terms of what the program is about at a high level, the core aim is to improve cancer registry capacity around early identification and reporting of pediatric and young adult cancer cases. Cancer registries are foundational public health tools used to track cancer incidence, understand trends, support research, and inform prevention and control strategies. For pediatric and young adult populations, early and accurate case capture can be especially important because these cancers are relatively rare, can differ biologically from adult cancers, and often require specialized treatment and long-term follow-up considerations. By enhancing registry processes for these age groups, the program supports more reliable surveillance data that can be used by public health agencies, researchers, and healthcare systems to better understand where and when cancers are occurring and how patterns change over time.

Overall, this continuation funding opportunity is best understood as CDC maintaining support for a previously launched initiative to modernize and strengthen cancer registry operations for early pediatric and young adult cancer case reporting, using a cooperative agreement structure and limiting eligibility to the existing cohort of funded recipients from the original DP14-1402 award.
