Opportunity Summary:
Capacity Building Assistance to Improve Health in Tribal Populations is a CDC discretionary funding opportunity offered as a cooperative agreement aimed at strengthening the performance of tribal health departments (or equivalent entities) by supporting organizations that serve those departments. The overall goal is to improve the quality, effectiveness, and efficiency of public health services in tribal communities by funding targeted capacity building assistance (CBA). In practical terms, the CDC is looking to fund an applicant that can provide hands-on support, guidance, and tools that help tribal health agencies build stronger public health systems and deliver higher-impact services.
The FOA lays out two main priority areas for the capacity building work. The first priority is helping tribal health departments prepare for public health department accreditation. That focus typically involves improving core public health functions such as assessment, quality improvement, performance management, workforce development, and documenting policies and procedures in ways that align with recognized accreditation standards. The intent is to help tribal health departments strengthen their infrastructure and readiness so they can pursue accreditation if and when they choose, and so their day-to-day operations reflect best practices in public health administration.
The second priority area is helping tribal health departments implement model programs and policy practices tied to CDC "Winnable Battles." Winnable Battles are CDC-identified public health issues where proven interventions can produce measurable impact within a reasonable time frame. Under this FOA, the emphasis is on selecting and implementing evidence-based or model practices that fit the cultural context of American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities and address the highest-priority local public health needs. The announcement specifically directs applicants to CDC's Winnable Battles framework (http://www.cdc.gov/winnablebattles/) as the reference point for that program and policy work, while also making clear that interventions should be culturally appropriate rather than one-size-fits-all.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is identified as CDC-RFA-OT12-12010101SUPP12 and is listed under CFDA 93.283 (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Investigations and Technical Assistance). The CDC anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $200,000 and an award ceiling of $200,000 (with no stated award floor). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants were not expected to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility is narrowly limited: only grantees that were previously funded under CDC RFA OT12-1201 could apply for this supplemental opportunity. That restriction indicates this FOA was designed as a continuation or enhancement of ongoing work rather than an open competition for new organizations. The posting date was September 13, 2012, with an original and current closing date of September 21, 2012, and an archive date of October 21, 2012, reflecting a short application window consistent with a targeted supplemental award.
For applicants or stakeholders needing more details at the time, the listing notes that the "Full Announcement" contained the complete requirements, and it provides CDC Procurement and Grants Office contact information for technical access issues via the Technical Information Management Section (TIMS) at 770-488-2700.
