Centers for Disease Control and Prevention - ERA

Description

This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) has two objectives. For both Objectives 1 and 2 CDC solicits U01 cooperative agreement applications to investigate factors that influence well-being for young adults (ages 15-24 years) with rare disorders in three key domains (health, education or work, and social participation). Such investigations are needed for states’ cross-sectional surveillance efforts to document the outcomes and service use of these young adults (Objective 1). For this FOA, CDC will consider spina bifida, muscular dystrophy, and fragile x syndrome as prototypes of rare disorders. Through retrospective, longitudinal observation, these investigations may generate reasons for suboptimal outcomes among some of these young adults (Objective 2) and point the way toward changes that can improve the well-being of future young adults.
