Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA IP 23 005
The grant opportunity titled "Approach to Adult Vaccine Counseling" (Funding Opportunity Number RFA IP 23 005) is a CDC-funded research initiative offered through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It is a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement mechanism, which generally means the CDC expects to have substantial involvement during the project period, such as collaborating on project direction, technical input, or evaluation activities. The program sits within the health funding category and is associated with CFDA number 93.185.
The main goal of the opportunity is to strengthen adult vaccination counseling by focusing on two connected research priorities. First, it supports studies that build a clearer, real-world understanding of how vaccination counseling is currently happening for adults, with specific attention to adults who have chronic medical conditions. This emphasis recognizes that adults with chronic conditions often face higher risk from vaccine-preventable diseases, yet may also experience more complicated decision-making, competing health priorities, or uncertainty that can affect vaccine uptake. Research under this priority would typically map existing counseling workflows, identify who delivers vaccine recommendations (physicians, nurses, pharmacists, medical assistants, or other staff), and describe what is being said, when it is being said, and what barriers prevent strong, consistent counseling.
Second, the opportunity funds the implementation and evaluation of interventions designed to improve how providers and care teams counsel adult patients about vaccines. The announcement highlights two evidence-informed counseling strategies in particular: motivational interviewing and the presumptive approach. Motivational interviewing is a structured, patient-centered communication style that helps people resolve ambivalence and make their own informed choices, often used when a patient is hesitant or unsure. The presumptive approach typically frames vaccination as the default expectation in clinical care (for example, presenting vaccination as the standard next step rather than an optional add-on), which can reduce friction and normalize uptake. Importantly, the opportunity explicitly encourages team-based counseling improvements, meaning interventions can be aimed not only at physicians but also at other members of the provider team who influence patient decisions and the flow of a clinic visit.
In terms of who can apply, eligibility is broad and includes multiple levels of government (state, county, city or township, and special district governments), independent school districts, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, federally recognized tribal governments, tribal organizations that are not federally recognized governments, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education where noted). The listing also includes an "Others" category, indicating additional entities may qualify depending on the specific eligibility clarifications in the full announcement.
The award structure is relatively focused and competitive. The expected number of awards is one, with an award ceiling of $500,000, suggesting the CDC intended to support a single, well-designed project rather than multiple smaller projects. The opportunity was created on November 25, 2022, and the original application deadline was January 27, 2023, with electronic submissions due by 11:59 pm Eastern Time on the due date.
Overall, this funding opportunity targets practical, applied research that connects measurement of current adult vaccine counseling practices with rigorous testing of interventions that can be adopted across real clinical settings. The underlying public health aim is to improve the quality and consistency of vaccine conversations in adult care, especially for patients with chronic conditions, by equipping the full care team with counseling approaches that are effective, scalable, and measurable.Apply for RFA IP 23 005
