Assessment and Evaluation of Emerging Health Conditions Relevant to the World Trade Center Health Program (U01)

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is forecasting a federal grant opportunity titled "Assessment and Evaluation of Emerging Health Conditions Relevant to the World Trade Center Health Program (U01)." This cooperative agreement aims to support research projects focused on health conditions potentially related to the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, particularly those that have emerged since the establishment of the WTC Health Program. The initiative seeks to enhance understanding of the causal relationships between 9/11 exposures and specific health conditions, with a special emphasis on vulnerable populations and health equity. The estimated total program funding is $33 million, with an award ceiling of $550,000 for approximately 20 expected awards. Interested applicants can reach out to Dr. James Yiin at JYiin@cdc.gov or call 513-841-4271 for further information. The application deadline is set for October 28, 2025, with awards anticipated by June 26, 2026.
