Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA CK20 2002
Advancing the Centers of Excellence in Newcomer Health is a CDC funding opportunity designed to strengthen how the United States identifies and addresses the health needs of people arriving from overseas, including refugees, immigrants (including Special Immigrant Visa holders), asylees, parolees, survivors of torture, and survivors of human trafficking. Led by the CDC Division of Global Migration and Quarantine (DGMQ) within NCEZID, the program recognizes that many newcomers are medically and socially vulnerable, often coming from settings where preventive care, routine screening, and consistent access to health services were limited or disrupted. Because these groups can be underrepresented in routine public health surveillance and may face barriers like language, cultural differences, stigma, and limited familiarity with the U.S. healthcare system, the CDC is seeking new and practical approaches that improve outreach, strengthen health literacy, and help clinicians deliver care that aligns with evidence-based guidance.
This opportunity builds on prior work completed under the Centers of Excellence in Refugee Health (2015-2020). That earlier initiative established key infrastructure and tools, including a secure repository of health information on recently arrived newcomers, support for CDC updates to health screening guidelines, and an online tool to help clinicians apply CDC screening recommendations in real-world clinical settings. The new program expands that concept beyond refugees alone by transitioning the model into Centers of Excellence in Newcomer Health, reflecting a broader population focus and a stronger emphasis on coordinated, multi-state or regional learning and dissemination.
Applicants funded under this cooperative agreement are expected to focus on at least two major program areas. One core area is using a multi-state or regional surveillance network to determine which health issues are most common among newcomer populations, both soon after arrival and over longer time horizons. This implies collecting, organizing, and analyzing health data across sites to identify trends and priority conditions, helping public health partners and clinicians understand what is emerging and what persists over time. Another key area involves clinician education: developing clinical training tools, presentations, and webinars that translate updated CDC screening recommendations into practical guidance for U.S. healthcare providers who serve newcomer patients. In addition, the program supports development of health orientation materials specifically for newcomers, aiming to make health information understandable, culturally responsive, and actionable. The Centers may also develop or enhance health information materials for both clinicians and newcomers, which can include updated guidance documents, decision-support resources, and patient-facing educational products.
The overall goal is to improve newcomer health outcomes by strengthening the capacity of healthcare providers and partners to deliver appropriate screening, prevention, and referral, while also improving the information available to newcomers themselves. At the systems level, the Centers are intended to generate stronger evidence that can inform public health practice and policy decisions affecting newcomer communities. The CDC also emphasizes collaboration: awardees are expected to provide expertise, build on existing infrastructure rather than starting from scratch, and work with partners serving these populations so that findings and materials are widely usable beyond a single clinic or state.
Administratively, this is a discretionary funding opportunity issued as a cooperative agreement, meaning CDC involvement is expected to be more hands-on than in a standard grant, typically through collaboration, technical assistance, and shared programmatic planning. The opportunity number is CDC RFA CK20-2002 under CFDA 93.283. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, open to any type of entity as allowed by the full announcement. The award ceiling is $2,000,000, and CDC anticipated making two awards. The opportunity was posted April 9, 2020, with an original application deadline of June 9, 2020 (applications due by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time).Apply for CDC RFA CK20 2002
