Opportunity Summary:

This grant opportunity, titled "PPHF 2012 Breastfeeding Promotion and Support Hospital Collaboratives to Improve Maternity Care Practices Related to Breastfeeding in the U.S.," is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) funding notice that supports continued work to strengthen breastfeeding-related maternity care practices in U.S. hospitals. It is financed solely through the 2012 Prevention and Public Health Fund (PPHF), which means the money for this initiative comes entirely from that designated prevention-focused federal funding stream rather than from a mix of sources.

The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the CDC in the funded work, such as providing technical assistance, guidance, or collaboration on implementation and evaluation. The opportunity is categorized as continuation funding, not a new open competition. In practical terms, this notice exists to extend or continue previously funded projects rather than to launch brand-new projects with brand-new applicants.

Eligibility is narrowly limited. Only organizations that were already funded under the earlier related funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DP11-1116, described as "Hospital Collaboratives to Improve Maternity Care Practices Related to Breastfeeding in the U.S.") are eligible to receive continuation funds under this 2012 PPHF announcement. The listing of "Others" under eligible applicants is clarified by the eligibility text: it is not a broad invitation; it is restricted to existing grantees from the predecessor award. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so grantees are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the continuation award.

The program falls under the health funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 93.741, "Breastfeeding Promotion and Support." The core focus is improving maternity care practices related to breastfeeding, which commonly includes hospital policies and clinical routines that affect breastfeeding initiation and continuation, such as immediate skin-to-skin contact, rooming-in, lactation support, limiting unnecessary formula supplementation, and staff training. The framing around "hospital collaboratives" indicates the approach emphasizes coordinated improvement work across hospitals or health systems, often using shared learning, benchmarking, and quality improvement methods to standardize and strengthen evidence-based maternity care practices that support breastfeeding.

Key administrative dates show it was posted on June 19, 2012, created the same day, and closed on July 19, 2012, with an archive date of August 18, 2012. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as 0 in the summary data, which usually reflects that specific dollar ranges were not provided in this condensed record and instead are detailed in the full announcement documentation.

For access issues or submission questions related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact is the CDC Procurement and Grants Office (PGO), Technical Information and Management Section (TIMS), reachable by phone at 770-488-2700. The notice repeatedly indicates that the full details, including expectations, deliverables, reporting, and funding specifics, are contained in the full announcement rather than in the abbreviated summary record.
