Opportunity Summary:
The FY14 Mobilization for Health National Prevention Partnership Awards (NPPA) Program (Funding Opportunity Number OS-PAW-14-001; CFDA 93.311) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health (OASH). The program is built to fund projects that advance the broader, OASH-wide public health mission while also supporting the specific priorities of individual offices within OASH. In practical terms, the grants are meant to help move prevention-focused work into real communities by mobilizing partnerships and implementing activities that increase access to preventive services, especially for people and populations who are being missed by traditional systems.
A central theme of the announcement is reducing systemic barriers that keep many Americans from receiving preventive care. OASH explicitly signals that it wants to "lead by example" by investing in approaches that go beyond narrow, single-issue categories. The logic is that the people most likely to miss preventive services often fall into multiple underserved groups at the same time, so solutions that stay in separate silos (for example, addressing only geography, or only race and ethnicity, or only gender) tend to be less effective. Instead, OASH is looking for cross-cutting, partnership-driven strategies that reflect the complexity of real-world barriers and that can more effectively reach underserved populations.
The opportunity was developed with contributions from several parts of OASH, including the National Vaccine Program Office, the Office on Women's Health, and the Regional Health Offices. The Office of Minority Health (within the Office of the Secretary) also contributed and may support activities that align with both the Office of Minority Health mission and the overall OASH mission. This multi-office involvement reinforces the program's emphasis on collaboration and broad prevention impact rather than isolated efforts.
In terms of funding scale, OASH anticipated making about 35 awards with an estimated total program funding amount of $7.7 million. Individual awards were expected to range from $50,000 (award floor) up to $500,000 (award ceiling). The announcement states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which typically lowers the barrier to entry for organizations that have strong program ideas but limited ability to provide non-federal matching funds.
Eligibility for this grant is broad and includes many types of organizations and governments. Eligible applicants include state, county, city or township, and special district governments; federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education as well as private institutions of higher education; independent school districts; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; nonprofits both with and without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education); for-profit organizations other than small businesses; and small businesses. This wide eligibility aligns with the program's prevention partnership framing, since effective prevention initiatives often require coordinated work across healthcare, public health, education, housing, and community-based organizations.
Key dates listed in the opportunity include a non-binding letter of intent due January 21, 2014 by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time, with the application closing date set for March 3, 2014. The opportunity was posted on December 18, 2013, created on January 7, 2014, and archived on April 2, 2014. Applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement were directed to the Grants.gov Contact Center (1-800-518-4726; support@grants.gov), which is available 24/7 except federal holidays.
Overall, this grant program is best understood as an OASH-led investment in prevention infrastructure and partnership-based implementation, designed to increase uptake of preventive services by addressing the structural and overlapping barriers that keep underserved groups from being reached. It is intentionally cross-disciplinary in scope, reflecting the view that improving prevention outcomes requires coordinated, system-level approaches rather than isolated interventions.
