Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA CE19 1904
Overdose Data to Action (CDC RFA CE19 1904) is a three-year CDC cooperative agreement designed to help states and local jurisdictions strengthen how they track, understand, and respond to the opioid overdose epidemic. The core idea is that the crisis changes quickly, and public health agencies need more complete and timely information on prescribing patterns as well as nonfatal and fatal overdoses in order to see where the problem is growing, who is being affected, and which drugs or combinations are driving harm. Just as importantly, the opportunity emphasizes turning that data into action by giving jurisdictions the practical tools, partnerships, and capacity needed to target prevention and response strategies where they will have the greatest impact.
This funding opportunity consolidates and continues work that had previously been supported under three separate CDC efforts: Prescription Drug Overdose Prevention for States (CE15-1501), the Data Driven Prevention Initiative (CE16-1606), and Enhanced State Surveillance of Opioid-Involved Morbidity and Mortality (CE16-1608). By integrating these streams, the program aims to create a more cohesive approach that links surveillance, prevention programming, and system-level interventions instead of treating them as disconnected projects. The overarching expectation is that recipients will improve the quality, completeness, and speed of overdose and prescribing data, then use those insights to guide evidence-informed interventions across healthcare, public health, and community partners.
A major focus is improving overdose surveillance so that jurisdictions can capture a clearer, faster picture of what is happening on the ground. This includes strengthening data systems that track both fatal overdoses (mortality) and nonfatal overdoses (morbidity), and improving the comprehensiveness and timeliness of those data so they are useful for decision-making rather than arriving too late to guide action. The program also prioritizes building state and local capacity to implement public health approaches that are considered promising based on research evidence, meaning recipients are expected to move beyond basic monitoring and into applying findings to real-world prevention strategies.
Another key component centers on Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs (PDMPs). The opportunity highlights making PDMPs easier to access and use, reflecting a practical barrier that often limits their effectiveness. By improving usability and access, the intent is to support better clinical decision-making and reduce risky prescribing and patient harm. Alongside PDMP improvements, awardees are encouraged to work directly with health systems, insurers, and community partners to improve opioid prescribing practices, aligning clinical care and payer policies with safer prescribing and better patient outcomes.
In addition to continuing these established areas of work, Overdose Data to Action adds new emphasis on linkages to care and other innovations supported by evidence-based practice. This reflects an acknowledgment that surveillance and prescribing improvements alone are not enough; jurisdictions also need mechanisms to connect people at risk (including those who have experienced nonfatal overdose) to effective services and treatment pathways. The program therefore supports activities that bridge public health data and response with care access, helping communities translate overdose events and risk patterns into timely outreach and connections to appropriate care.
