Opportunity Summary:
The National Chronic Disease Self-Management Education (CDSME) Resource Center opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2016 ACL AOA CS 0127) is a discretionary federal grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Community Living (HHS-ACL). It is funded solely through the Prevention and Public Health Fund for fiscal year 2016 (PPHF-2016) and is offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the selected recipient would carry out the work with substantial federal involvement and ongoing collaboration rather than operating in complete isolation. The activity category is health (CFDA 93.734), and the overall goal is to strengthen and expand evidence-based chronic disease self-management education programs nationwide.
At its core, the award is designed to support a single national resource center that acts as the hub for CDSME. The center is expected to provide leadership and expert guidance to the field, promote the value of evidence-based self-management programs, and increase access to those programs for people living with chronic conditions. Just as importantly, the resource center is meant to function as a national clearinghouse: collecting, organizing, and widely disseminating practical tools, proven strategies, best practices, and implementation resources that help programs run effectively and consistently across diverse communities.
A major emphasis of the opportunity is capacity-building and sustainability. Rather than only encouraging short-term program delivery, the resource center is tasked with helping states and the broader aging, disability, and public health networks build the infrastructure needed to implement CDSME programs at scale and keep them going over time. That includes supporting the partners who actually deliver or coordinate services on the ground, such as state units on aging, disability service organizations, public health agencies, community-based organizations, and other local or regional partners that make evidence-based self-management education accessible to participants.
Eligibility is intentionally broad, reflecting the national scope and the cross-sector nature of chronic disease management. Eligible applicants include state, county, and city/township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and private institutions of higher education; federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations; public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; and a wide range of nonprofit and for-profit entities, including small businesses. The opportunity is effectively open to many types of organizations, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that may appear in the full announcement, which signals that the agency was seeking the strongest national candidate capable of convening partners and supporting implementation across multiple systems.
In terms of funding and competition structure, the grant anticipated making one award, with an award ceiling of $1,200,000. The opportunity was posted February 11, 2016, with a closing date of April 13, 2016. Because only one award was expected, the recipient would likely be positioned as the primary national entity responsible for coordinating resources, aligning efforts, and serving as the go-to source for guidance and dissemination related to CDSME program implementation and sustainment.
Overall, this grant opportunity is best understood as an investment in national infrastructure for chronic disease self-management education. Instead of funding direct services in a single state or community, it funds the backbone organization that can standardize and spread effective approaches, help partners overcome common implementation barriers, and accelerate the reach and long-term viability of evidence-based CDSME programs across the United States.
