Opportunity Summary:
The "Consortium for Tobacco Use Cessation Technical Assistance" funding opportunity (CDC RFA DP13-1316) is a CDC cooperative agreement designed to strengthen tobacco cessation work by supporting a small number of organizations that can function as a national or multi-jurisdictional technical assistance resource. The overall aim is to help tobacco control and chronic disease prevention programs improve their cessation efforts by spreading evidence-based and practice-based strategies, building stronger partnerships, and improving how programs plan, sustain, and evaluate their work. Because it is a cooperative agreement, the CDC is expected to be actively involved during the project period through collaboration, guidance, and ongoing support rather than acting solely as a pass-through funder.
The CDC described its role as providing continuous guidance, technical assistance, training, and support to awardees across several core areas. Those areas include helping programs apply evidence-based and practice-based cessation approaches, including the diffusion of proven and promising practices and the use of current research and data. The support also emphasizes community mobilization and partnership development, recognizing that cessation outcomes often improve when health systems, public health agencies, community organizations, and other local partners coordinate their efforts. In addition, CDC support targets program sustainability and practical program strategies so that cessation improvements can be maintained beyond the grant period. Awardees are also expected to receive assistance around developing and revising strategic plans, along with strengthening project monitoring and evaluation so progress can be tracked and outcomes can be demonstrated credibly.
The opportunity was posted on June 10, 2013, with an original and final application deadline of July 15, 2013 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time via Grants.gov. A letter of intent was due June 28, 2013. To help applicants prepare, the CDC scheduled two informational conference calls on June 26, 2013 (10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. Eastern), offered a call-in line and passcode, and noted that the calls would be recorded with follow-up access details and FAQs provided on a CDC tobacco program webpage. The opportunity later moved to archive status on August 14, 2013, reflecting that the solicitation period had ended.
Funding was offered under the discretionary category, with the funding instrument listed as a cooperative agreement and the activity category as health. The CFDA number tied to the program is 93.945, "Assistance Programs for Chronic Disease Prevention and Control." The CDC expected to make two awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $2,250,000. Individual awards were projected to range from an award floor of $225,000 to an award ceiling of $450,000.
Eligibility was intentionally broad, allowing many types of entities to apply. Eligible applicants included state and local governments (and their bona fide agents), U.S. territories and freely associated states listed in the announcement, political subdivisions of states (in consultation with states), tribal governments and tribal organizations (including tribal epidemiology centers, Urban Indian health organizations, Alaska Native health corporations, and other tribally designated organizations), hospitals, colleges and universities, research institutions as long as proposed activities are considered non-research, community-based and faith-based organizations, and nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status. Certain for-profit entities were also eligible (other than small businesses), and the eligibility list explicitly included small, minority-, and women-owned businesses. The announcement stated there were no special eligibility requirements beyond meeting the eligible applicant categories.
Cost sharing or matching funds were not required. Even so, the CDC strongly encouraged applicants to leverage other resources to improve sustainability, noting that coordination with complementary funding and cross-sector efforts could strengthen long-term impact. Examples of potential aligned resources mentioned in the announcement included foundation funding and other U.S. government funding streams, including programs supported by HHS and other agencies such as the Departments of Agriculture, Education, Housing and Urban Development, Transportation, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the U.S. Park Service. Applicants were encouraged to coordinate across sectors like public health, transportation, education, health care delivery, agriculture, and others, signaling that cessation support was viewed as both a clinical and community systems issue rather than a single-program activity.
For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, the CDC directed inquiries to the CDC Procurement and Grants Office Technical Information Management Section (TIMS), providing a phone number and email address for support. Overall, the opportunity focused on building a technical assistance consortium that could accelerate the adoption of effective cessation practices, strengthen community and systems partnerships, and improve planning, sustainability, and evaluation across tobacco cessation programs.
