The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is accepting applications to conduct diabetes surveillance across health system and/or health plan membership-based centers to: (1) Estimate incidence and prevalence of diabetes in youth (< 18 years) and young adults (18–44 years) in the United States.
Donor Name: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
State: All States
County: All Counties
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 01/10/2025
Size of the Grant: $500,000 to $1 million
Grant Duration: 4 Years
Details:
These estimates are sought by diabetes type, demographic traits, health insurance status, and geographic area to identify disparities in diabetes burden; and (2) Ascertain the prevalence of risk factors for diabetes complications, occurrence of acute and chronic diabetes complications, and use of diabetes medications among youth and young adults with diabetes. This NOFO has two (2) components to achieve the purpose of the program. Component A focuses on surveillance of diabetes among youth (< 18 years) and young adults (18–44 years). Component B serves as a Coordinating Center to provide an infrastructure for standardized approaches, analytical methods, and measures to be used for surveillance across sites. It will also develop validation protocols, serve as a data repository, and provide statistical expertise.
Public health surveillance of diabetes and its complications is crucial for tracking and characterizing the burden of the disease, formulating health care policy, identifying high-risk groups, developing strategies to reduce the burden of this disease, and monitoring progress of primary and secondary prevention programs. Diabetes mellitus is one of the most common chronic diseases in the United States, with over 38 million people having the disease in 2021 (1). While the prevalence and incidence of diabetes is higher among older adults, diabetes is one of the most common chronic diseases in childhood and young adulthood.
There are two components in this NOFO:
- Component A (Youth and Young Adult Diabetes Surveillance Centers): Component A applicants should be able to create health system or health plan membership-based surveillance centers capable of identifying youth (< 18 years) and young adults (18–44 years) with incident or prevalent diabetes. Component A applicants are expected to have established access to diabetes cases among youth (< 18 years) and young adults (18–44 years) and standard operating procedures in place that allow for the development of protocols/agreements that are necessary for participation in a multi-center study (e.g., data sharing agreements).
- Component B (Coordinating Center): Component B will serve as the Coordinating Center and will provide an infrastructure for standardized approaches, analytical methods, and measures to be used for surveillance across Component A centers (common protocol). This includes creating data validation protocols and mechanisms to secure transmission of data and relevant data management reports between Component A awardees. The Coordinating Center will also create and maintain a central data repository for the study and ensure the training and certification of staff at Component A centers on 1) the procedures stated in the protocols corresponding to definitions for diabetes and diabetes related outcomes and 2) the transfer of data to a central data repository.
Funding Information
- Estimated Total Program Funding: $12,800,000.
