Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA SH22 2201
The State Vital Statistics Improvement Program is a five-year, CDC-led cooperative agreement designed to strengthen how the National Vital Statistics System (NVSS) performs by helping state vital statistics programs produce higher-quality, faster, and more useful birth and death data for public health. The focus is practical and system-wide: bringing state programs together to identify what works, spread effective approaches across jurisdictions, and address persistent challenges that affect the accuracy, completeness, and timeliness of vital records. In addition to improving the underlying data, the program emphasizes making vital statistics more actionable for real-world public health decision-making.
A central feature of the opportunity is convening and coordination. The award supports activities that gather state vital statistics programs to evaluate and promote strategies that improve data quality, timeliness, and overall utility. This includes encouraging shared learning across states, aligning approaches where appropriate, and helping jurisdictions adopt proven practices that reduce reporting delays and strengthen data reliability. Because vital statistics are foundational for monitoring population health and guiding interventions, the program is geared toward improvements that can be consistently implemented and measured over time.
Workforce development is another major pillar. The program explicitly supports training and development for the vital statistics workforce, recognizing that data systems improve when staff have the skills to manage modern workflows, apply quality assurance methods, and communicate effectively with partners in health departments, healthcare settings, and other reporting entities. By investing in people as well as processes, the program aims to build durable capacity that persists beyond any single project or technology upgrade.
The program also supports accreditation of state vital statistics programs and provides technical assistance. Accreditation support is intended to help programs meet recognized standards and build stronger, more consistent operations. Technical assistance can include guidance on improving procedures, strengthening quality checks, improving timeliness, and resolving implementation barriers. Taken together, accreditation support and technical assistance are meant to help states institutionalize best practices and maintain continuous improvement rather than relying on one-time fixes.
Administratively, this opportunity is a discretionary federal award using a cooperative agreement mechanism, meaning the CDC (through the National Center for Health Statistics, NCHS) is expected to have substantial involvement in the work. It is listed under CFDA 93.066 and was posted by the Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC - NCHS). The funding opportunity number is CDC RFA SH22 2201. The anticipated scale is substantial, with an award ceiling of $3,600,000, and the expected number of awards is one, indicating a single recipient will likely coordinate and drive the national-level effort described in the program.
Eligibility is broad and includes many organization types: state, county, city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and private institutions of higher education; federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status; for-profit organizations (including small businesses); and other eligible entities as clarified in the opportunity’s additional eligibility text.
