Opportunity Summary:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through its Procurement and Grants Office, released a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Five Year US Affiliated Pacific Island Collaborative Performance Agreement for Tobacco Control, Diabetes Prevention and Control, and the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System." This opportunity was offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the CDC would not just provide funds but would also remain actively involved through technical assistance, collaboration, and ongoing guidance to support implementation over the life of the project. The program was designed as a five-year effort focused on strengthening public health capacity and outcomes across multiple priority areas in the United States Affiliated Pacific Islands.
The overall purpose of the grant was to support and coordinate three core public health functions in the US Affiliated Pacific Islands: tobacco control, diabetes prevention and control, and operation of the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS). In practical terms, this meant helping local health agencies build and sustain programs that reduce tobacco use, prevent and manage diabetes, and collect reliable population health data through standardized surveillance methods. These activities are closely connected: tobacco and diabetes are major drivers of preventable illness and early death, and BRFSS data are often used to track risk factors, measure disease burden, and evaluate whether prevention strategies are working.
Funding was projected at an estimated total of $1,660,111 and was divided into three approximate program components: about $900,000 for tobacco-related activities, $635,111 for diabetes prevention and control, and $125,000 for BRFSS work. The announcement anticipated making six awards, corresponding to the six eligible jurisdictions, and it specified that there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement. While the notice lists an award ceiling and floor as 0, that typically reflects how the opportunity was entered in the system rather than indicating that awards would be zero; the expected funding amounts were clearly stated elsewhere in the announcement.
Eligibility was limited to the six health departments or ministries of health in the United States Affiliated Pacific Islands: American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, Guam, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Republic of Palau. The intent was to directly resource the government public health agencies responsible for these functions within each jurisdiction, supporting both local implementation and regional collaboration where appropriate. Because this was framed as a collaborative performance agreement, the emphasis was not only on spending funds but also on meeting shared performance expectations and building sustainable systems for prevention and surveillance.
Administratively, this opportunity was published on October 29, 2008, with an application deadline of December 29, 2008. Applications needed to be received by 5:00 p.m. at the appropriate submission location on the deadline date. The funding opportunity number was CDC-RFA-DP09-902, and it was associated with CFDA number 93.283 (CDC Investigations and Technical Assistance). The archive date listed was January 30, 2009, indicating the opportunity was closed and subsequently archived after the application period ended. Applicants needing help accessing the full announcement were directed to CDC Technical Information Management, with contact options including phone (770-488-2700) and an email contact listed for that office.
In summary, this CDC cooperative agreement was a targeted, multi-component investment in chronic disease prevention and surveillance infrastructure across the US Affiliated Pacific Islands. By pairing tobacco control and diabetes programming with BRFSS surveillance support, the announcement aimed to strengthen both intervention capacity and the data systems needed to guide decisions, track trends, and demonstrate progress over a five-year period.
