Coordinated School Health Program

Program overview. CFDA 93.697 — Coordinated School Health Program — is a federal assistance listing in the Health category, administered by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The typical award range cataloged on SAM.gov is $200,000 to $3.0 million. The program is currently active in the SAM.gov Assistance Listings database. Eligible applicants include State or Local Government.

Funding opportunities. No open Grants.gov announcements are currently indexed under CFDA 93.697 in PlainGrants. That typically means the awarding agency runs this program on a multi-year cycle or publishes cooperative agreements and contracts under separate listing numbers. The best verification step is to check Grants.gov directly and subscribe to the awarding agency's funding-announcement mailing list. Grant announcements can appear and close within a 30-day window, so timing matters.

Next steps. Before applying for CFDA 93.697, confirm your organization has an active SAM.gov registration and a Unique Entity ID (UEI) — these are mandatory for every federal funding instrument. Read the current Notice of Funding Opportunity end-to-end, paying close attention to the cost-share or matching requirement, the evaluation criteria, and the narrative page limits. Health-category grants routinely require Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval for any research involving human subjects and may require Single Project Assurance registration.
