Opportunity Summary:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) offered this Affordable Care Act (ACA) capacity building assistance opportunity to bolster the core infrastructure and performance of state, tribal, local, and territorial (STLT) health departments. The focus of the grant is not on delivering direct clinical services, but on providing structured capacity building assistance (CBA) that helps health departments strengthen how they operate, improve measurable performance, and more consistently adopt best practices or promising practices. The funding is explicitly tied to public health infrastructure investments aligned with federal health reform under the Affordable Care Act (Public Law 111-148), meaning the intent is to modernize and improve the systems, competencies, and organizational capabilities that enable public health agencies to deliver results.
This funding was issued as a cooperative agreement (Funding Opportunity Number: CDC RFA HM08 8050401PPHF11), which typically means CDC expected substantial involvement in the work through collaboration, guidance, and oversight rather than a hands-off grant relationship. The activity category is Health, and it falls under CFDA 93.524, described as building the capacity of the public health system to improve population health through national, nonprofit organizations. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, reducing the financial barrier for the eligible recipients.
The opportunity was structured as a non-competitive 12-month cost extension supplement, which is important because it was not open to new applicants broadly. Eligibility was limited to specific organizations that were already grantees under a prior CDC announcement (CDC RFA HM08 8030301SUPP10), with eligibility broken into three parts. Part I eligibility included: American Public Health Association (APHA), Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO), National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO), National Network of Public Health Institutes (NNPHI), and Public Health Foundation (PHF). Part II eligibility included: ASTHO, Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE), and PHF. Part III eligibility included: Association of Maternal and Child Health Programs (AMCHP), ASTHO, NACCHO, National Association of Local Boards of Health (NALBOH), NNPHI, and PHF. In practice, this design indicates CDC intended to extend and expand ongoing national partner work that provides training, technical assistance, performance improvement support, and dissemination of effective practices to health departments across the country.
Funding levels ranged from an award floor of $70,000 to an award ceiling of $600,000. The synopsis shows the posting and creation date as March 18, 2011, with an original and current closing date of April 19, 2011 at 5:00 pm Eastern Standard Time, and an archive date of May 19, 2011. The absence of an included link in the synopsis suggests applicants were expected to refer to the full announcement text for detailed program requirements, expected outcomes, reporting, and the specific content associated with Parts I through III.
Overall, the grant opportunity aimed to improve public health agency performance by scaling capacity building assistance through established national organizations with reach into STLT health departments. The underlying theme is infrastructure and quality improvement: strengthening systems and workforce capabilities so health departments can more reliably implement evidence-informed approaches, track performance, and improve their ability to protect and improve population health in line with ACA-era public health goals. For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact was CDCs Procurement and Grants Office, Technical Information and Management Section (TIMS), reachable at 770-488-2700 for general submission inquiries.
