Opportunity Summary:
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) Prevention Center for Healthy Weight grant (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA 10 303) was a discretionary Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) funding opportunity run through HRSA's Office of Planning, Analysis and Evaluation (OPAE). It offered support for a single national Prevention Center for Healthy Weight that would function as the central organizing body for a nationwide Healthy Weight Collaborative (HWC). In practical terms, the awardee would be responsible for designing and operating the collaborative, recruiting communities and local teams to participate, and providing the ongoing structure, guidance, and support needed to help those sites implement effective approaches to preventing and treating overweight and obesity.
A core expectation of the Prevention Center was to serve as a trusted national "gateway" to high-quality information and practical resources related to overweight and obesity. This included not only evidence-based prevention and treatment information, but also a specific emphasis on integrating public health and community health efforts with primary care. The program focus was strongly oriented toward children and families, aiming to promote family-centered, community-based, coordinated care and to strengthen community systems of services that can support prevention and treatment over time. The overall idea was to move beyond isolated clinical interventions by connecting clinical care, community programs, and broader public health strategies in a coordinated way that communities could sustain.
The funding instrument was a cooperative agreement, which typically signals that HRSA planned to have substantial involvement in the work as it progressed (for example, through collaboration on implementation approaches, performance monitoring, or technical guidance), rather than simply providing funds with minimal federal interaction. The opportunity anticipated one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $5,000,000, and it did not require cost sharing or matching funds.
Eligibility was limited to public or private nonprofit entities, including Indian tribes or tribal organizations as defined in federal law (25 USC 450(b)). Applicants needed to demonstrate at least four years of experience at the national level in several related areas: quality management and quality improvement, the development and dissemination of informational materials, and the provision of training or technical assistance tied to prevention and treatment of overweight and obesity. The Prevention Center could be structured as a consortium or partnership of multiple organizations, but only one eligible nonprofit entity could serve as the official applicant and grantee. For-profit organizations were allowed to participate as consortium partners, but they could not be the direct recipient of the award.
The opportunity was posted July 16, 2010, with an application deadline of August 16, 2010, and it was archived September 30, 2010. For applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement online, HRSA provided support through the HRSA Call Center (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV and phone options listed in the notice), and the full announcement was linked through HRSA's grants website.
