Opportunity Summary:
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009 Communities Putting Prevention to Work (CPPW) supplemental funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number RFA DP09-91202SUPP10) was a CDC discretionary grant offered as a cooperative agreement to strengthen and extend the impact of existing CPPW community awards. Rather than launching a brand-new set of local prevention projects, this supplemental award was designed to help current CPPW communities scale what they were learning by building the infrastructure for peer-to-peer mentoring, consultative technical assistance, and practical training. A major emphasis was on capturing and sharing real-world lessons from implementation, including local decision-making processes, strategies used to achieve policy and environmental changes, and early outcomes, so other communities could replicate successful approaches to chronic disease prevention.
At its core, the opportunity focused on increasing both local and national capacity to carry out policy, systems, and environmental (PSE) change strategies that prevent and reduce chronic disease. In plain terms, it supported communities in moving beyond individual-level education alone and toward structural approaches like improving community design and access, strengthening organizational and governmental policies, and changing environments to make healthy choices easier and more routine. The supplemental funds were meant to help CPPW awardees become stronger field leaders by mentoring peers, offering hands-on guidance, and creating training and dissemination products that would accelerate adoption of effective PSE interventions across the country.
The CDC anticipated making about 10 awards under this announcement, with an estimated total funding amount of $10,000,000. Individual awards were expected to fall between $1,000,000 (award floor) and $3,000,000 (award ceiling). There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which meant applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award. Because the funding instrument was a cooperative agreement, recipients could expect substantial involvement from CDC in the work, which typically includes ongoing collaboration, guidance, and performance monitoring rather than a purely hands-off grant relationship.
Eligibility was intentionally narrow and limited to the existing CPPW cooperative agreement recipients funded through the objective review process under DP09-912ARRA09. In other words, only the 37 CPPW grantee communities already funded through the original ARRA CPPW award could apply, including communities funded for tobacco prevention, obesity prevention, or both (with seven communities described as dual funded). The eligible list included a mix of city and county health departments, state health departments with specific county focus areas, and tribal or inter-tribal entities. Examples of eligible applicants included Austin/Travis County (TX), Boston (MA), the City of Chicago partners (IL), multiple California counties (Los Angeles, San Diego, Santa Clara), Washington, D.C., Hamilton County (OH), the Great Lakes Inter Tribal Council (WI), Louisville/Jefferson County (KY), Miami-Dade (FL), Seattle-King County (WA), Southern Nevada Health District (NV), Tri-County Health Department (CO), and several state health departments working through designated local areas.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was posted July 12, 2010, with an application closing date of August 12, 2010, and it was archived September 11, 2010. The CFDA number associated with the program was 93.724, identified as ARRA Prevention and Wellness - Communities Putting Prevention to Work. The CDC served as the sponsoring agency. For assistance accessing the full announcement, applicants were directed to the CDC Procurement and Grants Office (770-488-2700; pgotim@cdc.gov).
Overall, this supplemental FOA was a targeted capacity-building investment intended to turn experienced CPPW communities into multipliers: communities that not only implemented their own prevention strategies, but also helped other jurisdictions learn faster, avoid common pitfalls, and apply proven policy and environmental change methods to reduce chronic disease risk at a broader scale.
