Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009 Supplemental Funding to Support Enhanced Evaluation within ARRA Funded Obesity Communities" (Funding Opportunity Number RFA DP09 91201SUPP10), was a CDC discretionary funding announcement designed to strengthen evaluation activities in communities already funded for obesity prevention under the Communities Putting Prevention to Work (CPPW) initiative. The central goal was not to start new obesity prevention programs, but to add resources so existing CPPW sites could collect better, more consistent individual-level measurement data and pair that data with stronger documentation of local policy and environmental changes tied to nutrition and physical activity.
The focus of the supplemental funding was expanding the collection and evaluation of individual-level height and weight data so communities could calculate body mass index (BMI) and more clearly assess whether their interventions were associated with measurable changes in obesity-related outcomes. Where applicable, CDC also encouraged collecting other biometric and related measures beyond height and weight, depending on what was feasible and already underway in the community. The intent was to improve the quality and usefulness of evaluation data in places already implementing obesity prevention strategies, particularly those expected to influence weight-related outcomes over time.
A major feature of the opportunity was the expectation that awardees would also add or expand observational measures that capture policy or environmental changes, so evaluation would not rely on individual measurements alone. In practice, this means supplementing BMI and biometric information with structured ways to observe and document changes in the community context, such as modifications to food environments, physical activity supports, institutional policies, or other built-environment conditions. The announcement specifically referenced observational measures related to policy and environmental change and also noted examples such as data tied to physical activity and/or nutrition or dietary intake. The underlying idea was to connect changes in local systems and environments to changes in individual outcomes, creating a more complete picture of what interventions were implemented and how they may have influenced health.
Eligibility was narrowly limited. Only current CPPW grantees funded through cooperative agreement DP09 912ARRA09 could apply, and even among those grantees, applicants needed to be implementing the nutrition and physical activity MAPPS strategies (a set of approaches commonly framed as Media, Access, Point of decision information, Price, and Social support/services) that were expected to drive changes in height and weight or related measures. Applicants also had to demonstrate that they already had the infrastructure and experience to perform the required measurement activities and that they had at least some measurement work already ongoing in their community. In other words, this was not meant for communities starting from scratch; it was meant to scale up and strengthen evaluation capacity where measurement systems were already in place.
Competition was confined to the 25 named CPPW grantee communities funded for obesity prevention under the ARRA-supported cooperative agreement. These included large city and county health departments as well as state and tribal entities, such as Boston Public Health Commission (MA); Cherokee Nation Health Service Group (OK); Cook County Department of Public Health (IL); Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (CA); San Diego County Health and Human Services Agency (CA); Douglas County Health Department (NE); Hamilton County General Health District (OH); the State of Hawaii Department of Health (Kauai and Maui); Indiana State Department of Health (Bartholomew and Vanderburgh Counties); Jefferson County Department of Health (AL); Louisville/Jefferson County Metro Government (KY); Maine Department of Health and Human Services (Healthy Lakes and Portland); Miami-Dade County Health Department (FL); Minnesota Department of Health (Olmstead County and Minneapolis); Multnomah County Health Department (OR); Nashville/Davidson County Metro Public Health Department (TN); New York City (Fund for Public Health in New York, Inc.) (NY); Philadelphia Department of Public Health (PA); Pima County (AZ); Pueblo of Jemez (NM); San Antonio Metropolitan Health District (TX); Seattle-King County Department of Public Health (WA); Tri-County Health Department (CO); West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources (Mid-Ohio Valley); and Wisconsin Department of Health Services (LaCrosse and Wood Counties). This limitation reflects that the supplement was intended to enhance evaluation within an existing, time-limited ARRA investment rather than broaden CPPW to new jurisdictions.
In terms of funding details, CDC anticipated making about 6 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $10,000,000. Individual awards could range from a floor of $50,000 up to a ceiling of $2,000,000, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The program is associated with CFDA 93.724 under ARRA and the CPPW program area. The announcement was posted and created on July 20, 2010, with an original and current closing date of August 20, 2010, and it was later archived on September 19, 2010. The funding instrument type was listed as "Other," and the activity category was Health, consistent with CDC public health evaluation support.
For applicants needing assistance with the announcement, the listed contact was the CDC Procurement and Grants Office, reachable by phone at 770-488-2700 or by email at pgotim@cdc.gov. Overall, the opportunity can be summed up as a targeted ARRA-era supplement meant to help a small set of already-funded obesity prevention communities improve the rigor and breadth of their evaluation by increasing direct measurement of BMI-related outcomes and strengthening observational tracking of policy and environmental changes that could plausibly drive those outcomes.
