Opportunity Summary:

The National Program to Eliminate Diabetes Related Disparities in Vulnerable Populations (CDC RFA DP10-1001) was a CDC discretionary funding opportunity structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning funded recipients would carry out community work with ongoing collaboration and technical involvement from CDC rather than operating entirely independently. The central aim of the program was to reduce diabetes-related illness and complications, prevent premature deaths linked to diabetes, and specifically close persistent gaps in diabetes burden that fall disproportionately on vulnerable groups. The program was designed around the idea that diabetes outcomes are heavily shaped by community conditions and modifiable risk factors, so it emphasizes community-driven interventions that can be planned, implemented, and evaluated in real-world settings.

The work CDC intended to support focused on helping organizations mobilize and coordinate community partners, then guiding those partnerships through a full cycle of public health action: assessing local needs, planning evidence-based strategies, putting interventions into practice, and evaluating results to improve and sustain impact. The interventions were expected to target risk factors and conditions that contribute to unequal diabetes outcomes across regions and populations. While the announcement summary does not list specific intervention models, the framing makes clear that the program prioritized community-based approaches that address the drivers of disproportionate diabetes burden rather than only providing clinical services in isolation.

The opportunity explicitly centered on populations known to experience higher diabetes-related burden and worse outcomes, including older adults, certain racial and ethnic minority communities, people with low socioeconomic status, rural populations, and women. In other words, applicants were expected to design their work around disparities and demonstrate how their partnerships and interventions would reach and benefit groups that have historically been underserved or disproportionately affected. The mention of “regions across the country” signals that CDC was looking for a spread of projects capable of addressing diabetes disparities in different geographic and community contexts, rather than concentrating support in only one area.

Funding was substantial for a limited number of awards. CDC anticipated making about six awards with an estimated total funding level of $15,000,000. Individual awards were expected to fall within a relatively narrow range, with an award floor of $450,000 and a ceiling of $550,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers barriers for community organizations that may not have access to additional non-federal funds and allows applicants to focus resources on program delivery, partnership development, and evaluation.

Eligibility was broad and intentionally inclusive of organizations that are often positioned closest to the communities experiencing the greatest diabetes burden. Eligible applicants included nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), nonprofits recognized by U.S.-affiliated jurisdictions, for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), small/minority/women-owned businesses, community-based organizations, faith-based organizations, and multiple tribal and urban Indian entities such as American Indian/Alaska Native tribally designated organizations, urban Indian health organizations, and tribal epidemiology centers. This wide eligibility reflects the program’s emphasis on mobilizing trusted local partners and leveraging culturally grounded infrastructure to address disparities effectively.

Key administrative details help place the opportunity in time and context. The opportunity was posted and created on April 20, 2010, with an application closing date of May 12, 2010, and it was archived on June 11, 2010. The CFDA listing associated with the opportunity was 93.283 (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Investigations and Technical Assistance). For applicants needing assistance accessing the full announcement, CDC directed inquiries to its Procurement and Grants Office at 770-488-2700 or pgotim@cdc.gov.
