Evaluation of Offering and Documenting Infuenza Vaccination for Nursing Home Residents (U01)

CDC’s Procurement and Grants Office has published a funding opportunity announcement entitled, “Evaluation of Offering and Documenting Influenza Vaccination for Nursing Home Residents (U01)”. Approximately $300,000 will be available in fiscal year 2010 to fund one to two awards. The purpose of this FOA is to seek a cooperative agreement to describe the processes and procedures of offering and documenting vaccinations to residents in nursing homes and seek to understand if race plays a role, and to evaluate the validity of influenza vaccination status and race reported on residents’ assessments.
