Opportunity Summary:

The Mississippi Delta Health Collaborative (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA DP10-1013) was a CDC discretionary funding opportunity designed to build and run a coordinated, region-wide effort to prevent heart disease, stroke, and closely related chronic diseases in Mississippi's Delta region. The core idea was to move beyond isolated programs and create a single, organized collaborative that could align public health agencies, healthcare providers, and community partners around evidence-based strategies that reduce risk factors, improve prevention and disease management, and ultimately lower the Delta's disproportionately high rates of cardiovascular disease compared with the rest of the country.

This award was structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the CDC expected to have substantial involvement beyond simply providing funds. The program was intended to intensify collaboration among the Mississippi Department of Health and its existing chronic disease efforts, including heart disease and stroke prevention, diabetes, tobacco control, nutrition, and physical activity initiatives. It also emphasized practical partnership with local health departments, community healthcare providers such as Federally Qualified Health Centers, and organizations embedded in the community. The collaborative model aimed to ensure that clinical care improvements and community-level prevention work were connected, so progress in one setting reinforced progress in another.

The opportunity was the next step in a multi-phase approach already underway. In Phase One, the CDC conducted background community assessments across the 18-county Mississippi Delta region to better understand the health burden and the social and environmental conditions driving it. In Phase Two, the CDC supported a planning process that established foundational infrastructure for the collaborative, including a Strategic Alliance Advisory group and a strategic plan. That planning phase also began engaging community organizations to carry out evidence-based interventions across multiple settings, including healthcare sites, community locations, faith-based organizations, worksites, and schools. This funding opportunity was positioned to implement and expand that groundwork into a more formalized, operational program.

Funding levels reflected a large, multi-year public health effort. The CDC anticipated making one award with an estimated total funding amount of $20,000,000. The anticipated annual award range was an award floor of $3,250,000 and an award ceiling of $4,000,000. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated. The activity category was health, and the CFDA listing was 93.283 (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention - Investigations and Technical Assistance), which aligns with programs where CDC provides both funding and technical support to strengthen public health practice.

Eligibility was narrow and specific: the Mississippi Department of Health was the sole eligible applicant (single eligibility/sole source). In other words, this was not a broadly competed grant across multiple states or organizations; it was designed specifically to fund Mississippi's state health department to lead and coordinate the Delta-focused collaborative, while bringing in local and community partners as part of implementation.

Key dates show this opportunity was posted July 8, 2010, with an original and current closing date of August 23, 2010, and it was later archived on September 22, 2010.
