Opportunity Summary:
Partner Support for Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention (CDC RFA DP15-1504) is a CDC cooperative agreement focused on speeding up the spread and real-world use of proven strategies that reduce heart disease and stroke. The opportunity centers on strengthening prevention and control of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and key related risk factors, especially high blood pressure, high LDL cholesterol, and high sodium intake. Rather than funding direct clinical care, the award is designed to support a national or multi-state partner that can amplify CDC-recommended approaches by coordinating, promoting, and connecting stakeholders across public health, healthcare, and community settings so that evidence based practices are adopted more consistently at state and local levels.
The core purpose of the project is dissemination and partnership building. The selected grantee is expected to push out consistent, evidence based CVD practices, tools, strategies, and messages so that local and state partners are working from the same playbook. A major emphasis is creating practical ways for peers to learn from one another, such as convening partners, facilitating ongoing partner networks, and maintaining a platform or space where local stakeholders can share best practices, implementation tips, and innovative approaches. In addition, the work is intended to sustain and extend the momentum of the Million Hearts initiative beyond 2017 by maintaining key relationships and communicating Million Hearts impacts clearly, including successes, measurable progress, and lessons learned that can inform next steps.
The project also calls for the grantee to serve as a source of insight on emerging trends in CVD prevention and care, helping CDC and partners stay aligned with changes in treatment patterns, prevention science, and the broader healthcare environment. Another key expectation is the use of the grantee’s existing network members, affiliates, or chapters to strengthen “community clinical linkages,” meaning the connections between healthcare providers and community resources that support prevention and risk reduction (for example, referral pathways, follow-up supports, and locally available programs that reinforce clinical care). The grantee is also expected to elevate real stories and visible examples from communities, bringing “faces and stories” to the national level to illustrate the human impact of prevention efforts and to reinforce why these strategies matter.
A practical deliverable running through the announcement is the packaging and promotion of CDC cardiovascular tools and products for specific stakeholder audiences. That implies tailoring materials and messages so they land with different groups (state and local health departments, healthcare systems, payers, employers, community organizations, and others), and ensuring those groups know how to access and use CDC resources in ways that fit their settings. Overall, the grant is essentially a partner support and field mobilization effort: it funds coordination, communication, peer learning infrastructure, and partnership development that help proven cardiovascular prevention strategies spread faster and stick longer.
From an administrative standpoint, this was a discretionary CDC funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement mechanism, meaning CDC would likely be substantially involved in guiding or collaborating on the work compared to a standard grant. The opportunity anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $500,000. The award ceiling was $500,000 and the floor was $250,000, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. It was posted March 13, 2015, with an application deadline of May 11, 2015 (11:59 p.m. ET), and it was archived June 10, 2015. The CFDA number listed is 93.814.
Eligibility was broad and included many entity types across sectors, such as state, county, city/township, and special district governments; public and private institutions of higher education; nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) and certain non-501(c)(3) nonprofits); public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; independent school districts; federally recognized and other Native American tribal governments and tribal organizations; small businesses; and for-profit organizations other than small businesses, subject to any clarifications in the full announcement. The listed CDC contact for access issues was Stephanie Bernard (SIJ9@cdc.gov).
