- Nonprofit with 501C3 IRS status (other than institution of higher education) Nonprofit without 501C3 IRS status (other than institution of higher education) Nonprofit organizations recognized by US affiliated jurisdictions For profit organizations (other than small business) Small, minority, and women owned businesses Community based organizations Faith based organizations American Indian/Alaska Native tribally designated organizations Urban Indian health organizations Tribal epidemiology centers As stated in the Background section above (p 4), differences in diabetes related burden exist across particular subgroups of the population, including older adults, certain racial and ethnic minority groups, low socioeconomic status (SES) populations and regions, rural populations, and women. The purpose of this initiative is to fund organizations that will support the efforts of DDT s National Diabetes Prevention and Control Program to effectively address diabetes related health disparities in these vulnerable populations, using an approach that mitigates the impact of the social determinants of health. The Division of Diabetes Translation already has in place separate cooperative agreement funding programs designated specifically for state/territory health departments (DPCPs) and for tribes (NDWP). The newly available funds under CDC RFA DP10 1001 are intended to fund other types of organizations that have specialized knowledge and expertise about and access to particular vulnerable populations and the capacity to reach these groups through their relationships with communities and regions where these populations are located. Categories of eligible applicant organizations have been selected based on their capacity to mobilize communities, inform, educate, and advocate on behalf of these populations, and provide support/assistance in the development, implementation, and evaluation of targeted interventions to multiple communities in a region, using a population based non research approach, and to contribute to replication and dissemination of successful efforts through participation in a learning community. Grantees will be expected to coordinate and collaborate with the NDEP, DPCPs and NDWP grantees, as appropriate, in order to carry out their activities.

Opportunity Summary:
The National Program to Eliminate Diabetes Related Disparities in Vulnerable Populations (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA DP 10 1001) is a CDC cooperative agreement designed to lower diabetes-related illness and early death while directly targeting the unequal burden of diabetes experienced by vulnerable groups across the United States. The core idea is practical, community-driven prevention and control: CDC funds selected organizations so they can mobilize local and regional partners, then help those partners plan, develop, implement, and evaluate community-based interventions that reduce diabetes risk factors and improve outcomes in populations facing disproportionate impact. A major emphasis is addressing diabetes disparities in a way that accounts for social determinants of health, meaning applicants are expected to focus on upstream factors like access to healthy food, safe places to be physically active, health literacy, healthcare access, socioeconomic barriers, and related community conditions that shape risk and outcomes.
This funding is meant to expand and strengthen the reach of CDCs Division of Diabetes Translation (DDT) and its National Diabetes Prevention and Control Program by complementing other DDT-funded efforts already in place, especially the state and territory Diabetes Prevention and Control Programs (DPCPs) and the tribal-focused National Diabetes Wellness Program (NDWP). In other words, CDC already has separate funding streams for state health departments and tribes; this opportunity is specifically intended for other kinds of organizations that have specialized expertise, trusted relationships, and real access to the vulnerable populations most affected. The targeted vulnerable groups described in the opportunity include older adults, certain racial and ethnic minority communities, low socioeconomic status populations, people living in rural areas, women, and specific regions where diabetes burden is unusually high. The program frames these differences in burden as disparities that require coordinated action and interventions that can be implemented across multiple communities within a region.
The mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically means CDC expects substantial involvement beyond simply issuing a check. Funded organizations are expected to work closely with CDC and to coordinate and collaborate with other national and regional partners as appropriate, including the National Diabetes Education Program (NDEP), DPCPs, and NDWP grantees. The work is explicitly described as a population-based, non-research approach. That signals an expectation of implementing proven or practice-based interventions in real-world community settings, building capacity, and evaluating outcomes for improvement and replication, rather than conducting academic research studies.
Eligible applicants are broadly defined but centered on organizations that can organize communities, advocate effectively, and support multiple communities at a regional level. The announcement lists eligibility categories such as nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), nonprofits recognized by US-affiliated jurisdictions, for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), small/minority/women-owned businesses, community-based organizations, faith-based organizations, American Indian/Alaska Native tribally designated organizations, urban Indian health organizations, and tribal epidemiology centers. The reason for casting a wide net is tied to the programs design: CDC is looking for entities with on-the-ground credibility and the ability to convene partners, deliver culturally and linguistically appropriate outreach and education, help communities implement targeted interventions, and build sustainable local capacity to reduce diabetes risk and complications.
In terms of funding scale and structure, CDC planned approximately 6 awards with an estimated total funding amount of $15,000,000. Individual awards were expected to fall between $450,000 and $550,000 (award floor and ceiling), and there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was posted May 14, 2010, with an original and current closing date of May 28, 2010, and it was archived June 27, 2010. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 93.283 (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Investigations and Technical Assistance). The activity category is Health, and the opportunity category is Discretionary.
Overall, this grant opportunity is best understood as a capacity-building and implementation program aimed at closing diabetes gaps by funding trusted organizations to support, coordinate, and scale practical community interventions across regions. Success under this model depends on strong partnerships, the ability to tailor strategies to specific populations and local conditions, and a commitment to evaluation and shared learning so that effective approaches can be replicated and disseminated through a learning community of grantees.
