Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA DP12 1215PPHF12) was a CDC cooperative agreement designed to strengthen obesity prevention in early care and education (ECE) settings by improving day-to-day practices that influence young childrens nutrition, physical activity, breastfeeding support, and screen time. It was issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention through the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), specifically the Division of Physical Activity, Nutrition and Obesity (DNPAO). The basic purpose was to help ECE programs deliver higher-quality, more consistent obesity-prevention environments for young children, while also emphasizing equitable access so that more children can attend ECE services that meet recognized national standards.
A central feature of the program was alignment with the national Preventing Childhood Obesity (PCO), 2nd Edition standards. In practical terms, the funding aimed to support statewide collaboratives that could move ECE providers toward implementing those standard components in the four key areas: (1) healthier nutrition practices and food environments, (2) stronger breastfeeding support policies and accommodations, (3) increased opportunities for physical activity and reduced sedentary time, and (4) healthier screen time practices (generally meaning appropriate limits and better choices consistent with obesity prevention goals). Rather than focusing only on education or one-off trainings, the intent was to improve the overall quality of ECE obesity prevention practices in a way that could be coordinated and scaled across a state.
The award mechanism was a cooperative agreement, which typically means the CDC expected to have substantial involvement in the work beyond simply providing funds, such as collaboration on planning, performance expectations, and monitoring of progress. The opportunity was categorized as discretionary funding within the health activity area. It was financed solely through 2012 Prevention and Public Health Funds (PPHF), and it carried no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal matching funds as a condition of award.
In terms of funding scale and timing, the estimated total funding amount listed was $20,000,000, with an expected number of awards of 1. The award floor and ceiling were both listed as 0, which usually indicates that specific per-award ranges were not defined in that summary field or were detailed elsewhere in the full announcement. The CFDA listing associated with the opportunity was 93.742, referencing the PPHF Early Childcare and Education Obesity Prevention Program and the broader focus on obesity prevention in young children.
Eligibility was described as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to any clarifications contained in the full announcement under additional eligibility information. Key administrative dates included a posted date of June 14, 2012, a closing date of July 17, 2012, and an archive date of August 16, 2012. For access issues or submission questions, the announcement directed applicants to the CDC Procurement and Grants Office (PGO), Technical Information and Management Section (TIMS), with a listed phone number of 770-488-2700 for general submission inquiries.
