Opportunity Summary:
Partner Support for Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention (Funding Opportunity Number CDC-RFA-DP12-1213) was a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) discretionary grant program offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning recipients would not only receive funding but would also be expected to work closely with CDC through substantial programmatic involvement, coordination, and technical collaboration. The overall goal was to strengthen nationwide action to prevent and control heart disease and stroke by funding organizations with national reach, specifically those capable of guiding and influencing action across the country rather than operating only in a single community or state. In practical terms, the opportunity was designed to help national partners support and accelerate implementation of evidence-based strategies at the national, state, and local levels.
The program purpose centered on supporting strategies aligned with select recommendations from two major federal public health frameworks: the Update to A Public Health Action Plan to Prevent Heart Disease and Stroke and the Million Hearts initiative. These frameworks emphasize broad, system-level approaches to preventing cardiovascular events, including improving prevention practices, strengthening clinical and community links, and driving policy, environmental, and health system changes that reduce risk factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, poor diet, physical inactivity, and gaps in access to preventive care. By tying funding to these initiatives, CDC signaled that funded partners were expected to help translate national recommendations into real-world adoption and scale, including supporting state and local implementation efforts that reflect a consistent national direction.
Funding was limited in scale and competitive. CDC anticipated making two awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,500,000. Individual awards were expected to range from $250,000 (award floor) to $500,000 (award ceiling), indicating support substantial enough to build coordinated national partner activities, but also suggesting a focus on targeted, high-leverage work rather than large-scale direct service funding. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which generally lowers barriers to entry and allows applicants to propose activities based on need and impact rather than on their ability to secure additional non-federal dollars.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to any clarifications in the full announcement. Even with broad eligibility, the key practical qualifier was the expectation of national reach and the capacity to guide the nation in taking action. This typically implies applicants would need to demonstrate a strong national footprint, established networks or membership, convening power, the ability to disseminate guidance and tools widely, and experience supporting states, communities, health systems, or professional groups in implementing public health strategies.
The opportunity was posted on June 18, 2012, and closed on July 20, 2012, with an archive date of August 19, 2012. The CFDA number associated with the program was 93.283 (CDC Investigations and Technical Assistance), placing it within CDCs broader portfolio of public health improvement efforts. For administrative or submission issues, CDC directed applicants needing help accessing the announcement to the Procurement and Grants Office (PGO), Technical Information and Management Section (TIMS), via pgotim@cdc.gov, which served as the general point of contact for submission inquiries.
