Purpose
The purpose of this notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) is to support a research project to obtain timely input from representative samples of healthcare providers and of the public on critical immunization issues of importance to public health. The recipient is expected to: 1) conduct multiple surveys of providers and the public each year during the period of performance to collect immunization-related data using scientifically sound methods with adequate response rates that produce generalizable results; and 2) to disseminate these results broadly to assist in informing recommendations for new vaccines, developing strategies to improve immunization coverage, and instituting contingency plans to address urgent problems (e.g., vaccine supply shortages). Surveyed healthcare providers may include pediatricians, family physicians, obstetrician/gynecologists, general internists, pharmacists, and nurse practitioners. Surveyed members of the public may include subpopulations of special interest for consideration of immunization-related issues such as pregnant people, parents of children aged 0–5 years, people living in rural areas of the United States, and persons with chronic medical conditions.
