Rapid-Cycle Survey Collaborative for Provider and Public Input on Immunization Issues: The purpose of this notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) is to support a research project to obtain timely input from nationally representative samples of healthcare providers and of the public on critical immunization issues of importance to public health. The objectives of this NOFO are: (1) to conduct multiple surveys of healthcare providers and the public each year of 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 should include at a minimum: pediatricians, family physicians, obstetrician/gynecologists, general internists, and pharmacists. Surveyed members of the public should be at least 18 years old and should include subpopulations of special interest for consideration of immunization-related issues such as pregnant women, parents of children aged 0-5 years, and persons with chronic medical conditions.
