Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Pacific Islands Supplemental Funding for Five Year US Affiliated Pacific Island Collaborative Performance Agreement for Tobacco Control, Diabetes Prevention and Control, and the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System," was a CDC Recovery Act-related funding notice designed to strengthen population-level public health work across U.S.-affiliated Pacific Island jurisdictions and U.S. territories already participating in an existing five-year collaborative agreement. The central aim was to help create healthier communities by supporting sustainable, innovative, and measurable strategies that go beyond individual programs and instead emphasize broad policy, systems, and environmental changes. In practice, that means approaches like improving the local conditions that shape health (such as healthier food environments, more opportunities for physical activity, and stronger tobacco control policies) rather than relying only on education or clinical services.
The program specifically sought to help funded jurisdictions work together to promote and sustain policy change efforts with enough intensity and duration to contribute to achieving Healthy People 2010 objectives, particularly in the areas of nutrition, physical activity, and tobacco control. It also connected closely with diabetes prevention and control priorities and the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), signaling that grantees were expected not only to implement interventions, but also to track risk factors and outcomes using standardized surveillance and data collection methods. The emphasis on BRFSS reflects CDCs broader expectation that policy and environmental efforts should be guided by data, monitored over time, and adjusted based on measurable trends in behaviors and chronic disease risk.
A key feature of the opportunity was its focus on equity and disproportionate burden. The CDC recommended that the territories and jurisdictions prioritize interventions for populations experiencing a higher share of disease burden, which is often the case in island settings where chronic disease risk factors and barriers to prevention can be concentrated due to geography, resource constraints, and social determinants of health. While the announcement language is high level, the intent is clear: direct limited supplemental dollars toward strategies that can shift community-wide conditions and reduce chronic disease risks for those most affected.
Administratively, this was a supplemental funding opportunity under Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA DP09 90201ARRA09, categorized as an "Other" opportunity and tied to Recovery Act funding. The expected number of awards was seven, with an estimated total funding amount of $350,000. Individual awards had a ceiling of $50,000 and no stated minimum award amount (award floor of $0). There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, reducing financial barriers for eligible applicants and making it easier for jurisdictions to apply and implement proposed activities.
Eligibility was narrow and explicitly limited: only current recipients funded under Announcement DP09 902 could apply. In other words, this was not an open competition for new applicants; it was a targeted supplement for existing CDC-funded partners already carrying out the underlying five-year collaborative performance agreement. The posting date was September 29, 2009, with a closing date of November 24, 2009, and the opportunity was archived on December 24, 2009. The administering agency was the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the CFDA listing was 93.723 (ARRA Prevention and Wellness State, Territories and Pacific Islands), consistent with chronic disease prevention and wellness activities supported during that period.
