Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA EH 23 0005
The Supporting Communities to Reduce Lead Poisoning grant (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA EH 23 0005) is a discretionary federal funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), specifically through the National Center for Environmental Health (NCEH). It is designed to help communities strengthen local efforts to prevent and reduce childhood lead exposure by supporting practical, community-driven strategies that connect families to services, build local expertise, and improve public understanding of where lead risks come from and who is most affected. The opportunity was created on May 31, 2023, with an original application deadline of July 31, 2023, and required electronic submission by 11:59 pm Eastern Time on the due date.
At its core, the program focuses on collaboration across sectors rather than isolated work by a single organization. Applicants are expected to work with partners such as public health agencies, housing and code enforcement, healthcare providers, schools, childcare programs, community-based organizations, and other local stakeholders who touch the conditions that contribute to lead exposure. The intent is to build or deepen coordinated systems so that families and children can more easily access resources and services, whether that involves screening and follow-up, referrals, environmental assessments, remediation supports, or navigation to social services that reduce exposure risks.
A major emphasis of the opportunity is increasing knowledge and skills related to lead poisoning at the community level. This includes strengthening the capacity of organizations and their partners to recognize common sources of lead exposure (for example, lead-based paint hazards in older housing, contaminated dust and soil, certain consumer products, or other environmental pathways), understand prevention strategies, and respond effectively when children have elevated blood lead levels. Alongside capacity-building, the grant prioritizes community education and outreach that clearly communicates the risk of lead exposure and highlights persistent disparities in blood lead levels. The notice specifically calls out differences linked to race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and geography, signaling that funded work should not only raise general awareness but also address inequities and tailor engagement to the populations and neighborhoods bearing the greatest burden.
Funding is provided as a grant under the CDC’s health funding activity area (CFDA/Assistance Listing 93.197). The award ceiling is $200,000, and CDC anticipated making around 10 awards. Eligibility is broad and includes state, county, and city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; tribal organizations; public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; and nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions in the nonprofit category). The opportunity is effectively open to a wide range of entities that can demonstrate the partnerships and community reach needed to reduce lead exposure and improve outcomes for children and families.Apply for CDC RFA EH 23 0005
