Program Objective
The purpose of the Emerging Infections Programs (EIP) is to assist in local, state, and national efforts to prevent, control, and monitor the public health impact of infectious diseases. The EIP cooperative agreement was formed in 1995 as a key component of CDC’s national strategy to address and reduce emerging infectious disease (EID) threats. The EIP is a population-based network of state health agencies and their collaborators, including (but not limited to) academic institutions, local health departments, public health and clinical laboratories, infection control professionals, and healthcare providers. The unique strength of the EIP lies in the network’s ability to quickly translate surveillance and research activities into informed policy and public health practice.

How to Apply
Award Procedure
Applications that are complete and responsive will be evaluated for scientific and technical merit by an appropriate Objective Review Panel (ORP) in accordance with CDC ORP review policies and procedures. CDC will not review incomplete and non-responsive applications. Complete and responsive applications will undergo a ORP review process, receive a written critique and be scored according to the published review criteria. Successful applicants will receive a Notice of Award (NOA) from the CDC Office of Grants Services. The NOA shall be the only binding, authorizing document between the recipient and CDC. The NOA will be signed by an authorized Grants Management Officer. Initial award provides funds for the first budget period (usually 12 months) and the NOA will indicate support recommended for the remainder of the project period, allocation of Federal funds by budget categories, and special conditions, if any.
Once competing applicants have been selected by the ORP review process for the first year of funding in the project period, those selected will be eligible to submit annual non-competitive continuation applications for each successive budget period of the project period.
