Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA DP 23 002
The grant opportunity "Improving Health Outcomes for Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease" (Funding Opportunity Number RFA DP 23 002) is a CDC cooperative agreement designed to strengthen public health practice by closing key gaps in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) research and day-to-day disease management. The overall focus is on building better evidence about how IBD develops and progresses over time, how social and psychological factors shape patient outcomes, where major inequities exist in care and results, and which management approaches work best in real-world settings. The intent is not only to generate knowledge, but also to translate that knowledge into practical, testable improvements in care delivery, patient support, and provider education.
A central component of the announcement is the expectation that recipients will conduct epidemiologic studies using a multidisciplinary collaborative network. This network-based approach is meant to bring together varied expertise (for example, clinical care, epidemiology, behavioral health, health services research, and community or public health partners) to examine the natural history of IBD and the factors that influence outcomes. The CDC specifically calls out the importance of studying social and psychosocial contributors (such as stress, mental health, and social determinants of health), identifying health disparities, and evaluating the effectiveness of different management strategies. In other words, the research is expected to be broad enough to explain both biological and non-biological drivers of disease burden, and practical enough to inform improvements in systems of care.
In addition to studying IBD, the opportunity emphasizes designing and piloting activities that directly enhance IBD management in ways that improve health and quality of life. Examples highlighted include strengthening patient self-management and supporting more integrated clinical care models. This could include testing structured self-management supports, improving care coordination across specialties, or developing workflows that better connect patients to behavioral health, nutrition, and other supportive services. The key point is that applicants are expected to move beyond describing problems and instead pilot realistic interventions that can be evaluated and potentially scaled.
Another major goal is improving education and outreach for healthcare providers, particularly to reduce delays in diagnosis and speed the start of effective disease management. The CDC is signaling that provider awareness, recognition, and clinical action are critical bottlenecks for IBD outcomes, and that targeted educational strategies can help address them. Projects under this aim would be expected to identify where diagnostic or treatment delays occur, tailor educational content to provider needs, and pilot approaches that measurably improve timeliness and quality of care.
Equity is a specific and explicit pillar of the announcement. Applicants are expected to identify disparities in IBD management and outcomes, including disparities by race and ethnicity, and then tailor evidence-based interventions to reduce those gaps. This is more than simply reporting differences; it involves designing interventions that are appropriate for the populations experiencing worse outcomes, testing those interventions, and generating evidence that can guide broader implementation to reduce inequities.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary cooperative agreement funded through the Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CFDA 93.945). The award ceiling is $800,000, and CDC anticipated making one award under this announcement. The original application closing date listed is January 9, 2023 (with electronic submissions due by 11:59 pm ET). Eligibility is broad and includes multiple types of government entities (state, county, city or township, special districts), public and private institutions of higher education, tribal governments and tribal organizations, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status, and for-profit organizations (including small businesses), with additional eligibility details referenced in the announcement text.
The expected outcome of the award is a stronger, more actionable evidence base on IBD epidemiology and natural history, including clearer understanding of social and psychosocial influences. Just as importantly, the CDC expects outputs that support public health and clinical practice, such as improved clinical and self-management strategies, more informed and responsive healthcare providers, and interventions that directly address disparities. Taken together, the work funded through this opportunity is meant to translate research into measurable improvements in patient health, quality of life, and equity in IBD outcomes.Apply for RFA DP 23 002
