Opportunity Summary:
The ATSDR's Partnership to Promote Localized Efforts to Reduce Environmental Exposure (APPLETREE) Program is a CDC/ATSDR cooperative agreement designed to help public health agencies and eligible tribal governments better understand and reduce community exposure to hazardous substances. At its core, the program focuses on two connected outcomes: first, identifying how people may be coming into contact with hazardous substances linked to hazardous waste sites or other types of releases, and second, putting practical, coordinated public health actions in place to reduce those exposures when they are at levels that could harm health. The opportunity aligns with the Healthy People 2020 Environmental Quality focus area by emphasizing locally driven efforts to improve environmental conditions that affect health.
This funding opportunity was released as a discretionary cooperative agreement, meaning awardees would carry out work with substantial federal involvement and collaboration rather than operating completely independently. The opportunity is identified as CDC RFA TS11-1101 under CFDA 93.240 (State Capacity Building). The CDC expected to make approximately 25 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $29,700,000. No cost sharing or matching requirement was listed, which generally reduces barriers for eligible applicants and allows recipients to focus available resources on investigation and intervention activities rather than on providing a required non-federal match.
Eligible applicants were limited by ATSDR's statutory and regulatory authority under CERCLA, which effectively narrowed eligibility to specific governmental public health entities. Applicants could include federally recognized or state recognized American Indian/Alaska Native tribal governments, as well as state health departments and their bona fide agents. The eligibility definition for state health departments was broad enough to include the District of Columbia and multiple U.S. territories and freely associated states, specifically Puerto Rico, the U.S. 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 announcement also explained that a bona fide agent is an agency or organization officially designated by a state (or local government, as applicable) to apply on the government's behalf. If applying as a bona fide agent, documentation was required in the form of a letter from the state or local government, to be attached in the application submission through Grants.gov.
From a practical standpoint, the work supported under APPLETREE would be expected to involve identifying and characterizing exposure pathways (for example, contaminated drinking water, soil, indoor air, fish consumption, or vapor intrusion) and then designing and coordinating public health interventions to interrupt those pathways. While the announcement excerpt does not list specific intervention types, interventions under programs like this commonly include targeted community education and risk communication, coordination with environmental and regulatory partners, support for testing or sampling strategies that inform public health decisions, recommendations for reducing contact with contaminants, and collaboration to promote remediation or exposure controls where appropriate. The emphasis on "implement and coordinate" signals that the program is intended to move beyond assessment alone and into measurable exposure reduction activities.
Key dates for the opportunity reflect that it was a time-limited, archived grant competition. The posting date was October 22, 2010, with a letter of intent due November 22, 2010, and an application deadline of December 22, 2010. The archive date was January 21, 2011, indicating the opportunity is no longer open but remains available as a historical reference.
