Opportunity Summary:

This grant opportunity, titled NATIONAL ORGANIZATION FOR CHRONIC DISEASE PREVENTION AND HEALTH PROMOTION (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA DP15 1512), was a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) discretionary funding announcement offering support through a cooperative agreement. The overall purpose was to fund one national organization to help strengthen and spread stronger chronic disease prevention and health promotion practice across state and territorial health departments (often referred to as SHDs). The work was designed not only to build leadership and technical expertise, but also to push a broader shift in how chronic disease prevention and health promotion are carried out in practice, with the goal of accelerating measurable improvements in population health.

A key feature of the opportunity is that the awardee was expected to implement strategies and activities that build capacity in four domains referenced in the announcement. While the source text does not list the domains, the intent is clear: the recipient would operate as a national-level partner helping SHDs improve leadership, skill, and execution across multiple core areas of chronic disease prevention and health promotion. The emphasis goes beyond training for trainings sake. The CDC describes the effort as transformational, meaning the selected organization would be expected to influence day-to-day practice in health departments, remove barriers, and support adoption of conditions and approaches that reduce chronic diseases and the risk factors that drive them.

Funding was substantial and structured for a single recipient. CDC anticipated one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $9,000,000 over the project period. The annual or project budget parameters in the announcement included an award ceiling of $3,000,000 and an award floor of $2,000,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces financial barriers for eligible nonprofit applicants and signals that CDC intended the awardee to focus resources on national-scale capacity building and technical assistance rather than fundraising to meet match obligations.

Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations, specifically including nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education) and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (also other than institutions of higher education). More narrowly, CDC was looking for national organizations whose primary focus is chronic disease prevention and health promotion and related public health training. Priority fit was described as national organizations that work specifically with state and territorial health departments, have organizational units focused on state public health issues and chronic disease reduction, and can demonstrate successful experience strengthening leadership capacity. The announcement explicitly encouraged applicants with experience using methods such as communities of practice, suggesting CDC wanted an organization that could convene peer learning networks, facilitate shared problem-solving, and help health departments adopt and sustain effective approaches.

Administratively, the opportunity was posted April 15, 2015, with an original and final application deadline of June 15, 2015, and it was archived July 15, 2015. The CFDA number associated with this program was 93.809, National Organizations for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, and the funding activity category was Health. Because this is a cooperative agreement, applicants would be expected to work in close collaboration with CDC during implementation, with more ongoing federal program involvement than is typical under a standard grant.
