Risk Assessment Questionnaire No Longer Required

CDC has retired the Risk Assessment Questionnaire Requirement and applicants are no longer required to submit the CDC Risk Questionnaire as part of their Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) application. CDC continues to conduct the review of risk posed by applicants as described in the Review and Selection Process. We may ask for additional information prior to the award based on the results of the review. Risk Questionnaires that are submitted will not be included in this risk review. (January 2024)
