Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA EH20 2001
The Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention and Surveillance of Blood Lead Levels in Children grant opportunity (CDC RFA EH20-2001) is a discretionary federal funding program from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), specifically within the National Center for Environmental Health (NCEH). It was released on February 27, 2020, with applications originally due by April 30, 2020, and required electronic submission by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. Funding is provided through cooperative agreements, meaning CDC is expected to have an active role in supporting and guiding recipients during implementation, rather than simply issuing a one-time grant with minimal federal involvement.
The core purpose of the program is to strengthen how states prevent, detect, and respond to childhood lead exposure. It supports both primary prevention strategies (reducing or eliminating exposures before children are harmed) and secondary prevention strategies (finding children who have already been exposed, ensuring timely testing and reporting, and connecting families to appropriate services). The opportunity emphasizes practical system-building: improving statewide blood lead surveillance capacity, ensuring blood lead testing is performed and results are reported, strengthening data systems and analytics to identify high-risk areas and populations, and using that information to shape targeted, population-based interventions and policy approaches that reduce lead risks.
A central expectation for funded state health departments is to show that they have effective processes in place to identify children who are lead-exposed and connect them to recommended services. This goes beyond data collection and requires a working, end-to-end public health response. In practice, that means states are expected to build or reinforce comprehensive systems that cover identification, referral, follow-up, and evaluation for children with elevated blood lead levels. It also means states must demonstrate coordination across organizations so that children do not fall through gaps between testing, case management, environmental investigation, clinical follow-up, and community-based supports.
The NOFO also makes it clear that state recipients are expected to work closely with local health departments, particularly in high-risk areas where lead exposure is more likely due to older housing stock, legacy industrial contamination, or other environmental risk factors. In addition, states are expected to partner with agencies and providers that regularly serve children and families. This includes, for example, pediatric and primary care providers, laboratories, Medicaid and other health coverage programs, early childhood programs, housing and environmental agencies, and community organizations, with the goal of creating reliable pathways for testing, reporting, referral, and service delivery.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, and the CDC anticipated making 51 awards, consistent with supporting all states and likely including certain jurisdictions. The award ceiling listed is $1,000,000 per award, indicating that individual state cooperative agreements could be funded up to that amount. The program is cataloged under CFDA number 93.197 and is classified under the health funding activity category, reflecting its focus on surveillance infrastructure, prevention strategy implementation, and public health system coordination to reduce childhood lead exposure and improve outcomes for affected children.Apply for CDC RFA EH20 2001
