Opportunity Summary:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through its Procurement and Grants Office, released a Recovery Act funding opportunity called American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 Communities Putting Prevention to Work (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA DP09 912ARRA09). The program is designed to help communities improve public health by focusing on prevention and wellness at a population level, rather than relying only on individual clinical services or short-term programs. The central idea is to create healthier communities by supporting sustainable, evidence-based strategies that shift policies, systems, organizational practices, and environments in ways that make healthy choices easier in daily life, especially in community settings and schools.
The total estimated funding available for fiscal year 2009 is approximately $373,000,000, with an expectation of making about 30 to 40 awards (the listing indicates 40 expected awards). The opportunity falls under the Recovery Act funding activity category, and it is associated with CFDA 93.724 (ARRA Prevention and Wellness Communities Putting Prevention to Work). The announcement does not require cost sharing or matching funds, which reduces a common barrier for public agencies and Tribal entities that may have limited discretionary resources. The award ceiling and award floor are listed as $0, which typically means the exact award sizes were not specified in the summary field and applicants needed to rely on the full FOA guidance for budget parameters and project expectations.
Eligible applicants are primarily governmental public health entities, with eligibility structured by community size and type so that large jurisdictions, mid-sized urban areas, Tribal communities, and smaller or rural jurisdictions have a designated lead applicant. For large cities, the lead or fiduciary agent must be the official local health department (or a bona fide agent or equivalent) designated by the mayor, county executive, or similar official, serving a population greater than 1 million people. For urban areas, eligibility similarly rests with the official local health department (or its bona fide agent or equivalent) designated by the appropriate governmental executive, serving a population more than 500,000 and up to 1 million. For Tribal communities, the eligible lead entities include federally recognized Tribal Governments, Regional Area Indian Health Boards, Urban Indian organizations, and Inter Tribal Councils, designated by the Principal Tribal elected official or chief executive officer. For state-coordinated small cities and rural areas, the lead or fiduciary agent is the official state health department (or bona fide agent or equivalent) designated by the Governor. In this context, "state" is broadly defined to include the 50 states as well as several U.S. territories and affiliated jurisdictions, including Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, Guam, the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Republic of Palau. The FOA defines a "small city" as a jurisdiction serving 50,000 to 500,000 people, and a "rural area" as 50,000 people and below.
The timeline for the opportunity shows it was posted on September 17, 2009, with an original and current closing date of December 1, 2009. Applications had to be validated and submitted by 5:00 pm Eastern Standard Time on the closing date. A letter of intent was due earlier, on Friday, November 6, 2009, which signals that CDC wanted advance notice of prospective applicants and likely used that information for planning review capacity and technical assistance. The archive date is listed as December 31, 2009, indicating when the opportunity would no longer be actively posted as open.
From a programmatic standpoint, the emphasis on "proven, population based approaches" and "policy, systems, organizational and environmental changes" points to interventions such as improving nutrition and physical activity environments, strengthening school and community wellness policies, and creating conditions that support healthier behaviors broadly across a population. The wording also highlights sustainability, meaning projects were expected to produce lasting changes that could remain in place after Recovery Act funds were spent, rather than temporary campaigns that end when funding ends.
For access issues or submission-related questions, the contact information provided directs applicants to PGO TIMS by phone at 770-488-2700, along with a general email for submission inquiries (the specific email address is not included in the summary text provided).
