Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Health Impact Assessment to Foster Healthy Community Design" (Funding Opportunity Number CDC-RFA-EH11-1104) was a CDC discretionary funding program offered as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 93.070 (Environmental Public Health and Emergency Response). Its central goal was to strengthen the ability of state, tribal, and local governments to routinely bring public health considerations into decisions that shape the built environment, especially in community development, transportation systems, housing, and land use planning. In practical terms, the program aimed to help governments and their partners look beyond traditional planning and engineering outcomes and more consistently evaluate how design choices influence health, such as physical activity, injury risk, air quality, access to services, and other community-level health determinants. Awardees were expected to align their work with and support the mission of the CDC Healthy Community Design Initiative, which focuses on creating places that make healthy choices easier and improve overall community well-being.
Because the funding mechanism was a cooperative agreement, the CDC anticipated having an active partnership role with recipients rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. This typically implies ongoing federal involvement through technical assistance, collaboration on approaches and methods, and expectations for reporting and performance monitoring. The program emphasized the use and expansion of health impact assessment (HIA) capacity, meaning recipients would be positioned to develop or enhance the skills, processes, and partnerships needed to conduct HIAs and to apply health evidence in policy and planning decisions. The broader intent was not only to complete individual assessments, but also to normalize health as a standard consideration in decision-making environments that historically may prioritize cost, traffic flow, zoning, or development timelines without fully accounting for health consequences.
Funding for the opportunity was limited and competitive. The CDC expected to make around six awards, with an estimated total program funding level of approximately $2.8 million. Individual awards were anticipated to fall between a floor of $75,000 and a ceiling of $180,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, reducing barriers for applicants that might not have had additional funds to contribute. The timeline shows the opportunity was posted on January 25, 2011, with a letter of intent due February 25, 2011, and the application due March 28, 2011. The announcement was later archived on April 27, 2011, meaning it was a historical funding opportunity tied to that specific funding cycle.
Eligibility was intentionally broad and designed to accommodate the range of organizations that might be involved in community design decisions or in supporting governments with health analysis. Eligible applicants included state and local governments (and political subdivisions of states, typically in consultation with states), federally recognized or state-recognized tribal governments, and a wide range of tribal entities such as tribal epidemiology centers, Alaska Native health corporations, and urban Indian health organizations. The opportunity also allowed participation from nonprofits (with or without 501(c)(3) status), for-profit organizations (excluding certain categories like small business in the listing, though small, minority-, and women-owned businesses were included), universities, colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based organizations, and faith-based organizations. In addition, the program allowed for applications from bona fide agents of state or local governments, but required formal documentation: a legal, binding agreement from the government entity had to be attached with the application to confirm that the agent was authorized to apply on the government’s behalf.
Overall, the opportunity reflects CDC’s effort at the time to push health upstream into the policies and projects that shape everyday living conditions. By investing in HIA capacity and encouraging cross-sector collaboration between public health and planning-related fields, the program sought to broaden what gets counted in community design decisions and to help jurisdictions make choices that support healthier, safer, and more equitable community environments.
