Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA EH 20 001
The Environmental Health Specialists Network (EHS-Net) - Practice based research to improve food safety grant opportunity (RFA EH 20 001) is a CDC cooperative agreement designed to strengthen and maintain a national network of environmental health program staff who work directly on retail food safety. The purpose is very practical: bring together environmental health specialists with epidemiologists and other public health professionals to decide on real-world research priorities in retail food settings, study the factors that increase foodborne illness risk, and use those findings to help prevent illness. The work is focused on the parts of the food system people interact with every day, especially places regulated by state and local health or regulatory agencies such as restaurants, delis, cafeterias, and school food service operations.
The emphasis of this opportunity is practice-based research, meaning the projects are meant to be grounded in the realities of inspection programs, regulatory oversight, and routine food safety activities rather than purely academic studies. The network model is central to the program: funded recipients are expected to contribute to a coordinated EHS-Net effort where sites can align around shared questions, collect comparable information, and generate findings that can translate into actionable recommendations for food safety programs. In other words, the goal is not only to conduct studies, but to build sustained capacity within health departments and partner agencies to continuously identify problems in retail food safety, investigate them in a structured way, and apply results to reduce foodborne illness risks.
Administratively, this is a discretionary funding opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement from the CDC in project direction, collaboration, and coordination compared to a standard grant. The opportunity falls under the health activity category and is associated with CFDA number 93.070.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), with the caveat that applicants still need to follow any additional eligibility clarifications provided in the full announcement text. The opportunity was created on December 6, 2019, with an original application closing date of February 28, 2020, and electronic submissions were due by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the deadline date.
In terms of scale, the award ceiling is $192,587, and the CDC anticipated making about 8 awards. Funded projects are expected to relate directly to retail food safety activities that fall under the jurisdiction of health departments or other agencies responsible for regulatory oversight.
