Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "PPHF 2012 National Public Health Improvement Initiative (NPHII) Capacity Building Assistance to Strengthen Public Health Infrastructure and Performance," financed in part by the 2012 Prevention and Public Health Fund, was a discretionary funding opportunity offered by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). It was issued as a cooperative agreement, meaning recipients would not just receive funding but would also be expected to work in collaboration with CDC in carrying out program activities, aligning approaches, and reporting on progress.
The main purpose of this program was to provide capacity building assistance (CBA) that state, tribal, local, and territorial (STLT) health departments could use to strengthen public health infrastructure and overall performance. In practical terms, the program emphasized improving how health departments plan and manage investments, coordinate work across programs and partners, implement initiatives more effectively, evaluate what is working, and share or spread evidence-based practices. The focus was on building the systems and capabilities that make public health agencies more effective and consistent over time, rather than only funding short-term services.
The opportunity was associated with CFDA number 93.524, described as "Building Capacity of the Public Health System to Improve Population Health through National, Non Profit Organizations." While the activity category is broadly listed as Health, the program framing clearly centers on public health performance improvement and infrastructure strengthening, including planning, coordination, implementation support, evaluation capacity, and dissemination of proven approaches.
Funding details show an award ceiling of $700,000 and an award floor of $0, indicating awards could vary in size up to the maximum depending on the proposed work and CDC priorities. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award. The opportunity category was listed as discretionary, which typically means awards are competitively selected based on merit and alignment with program goals, subject to available federal funding.
Eligibility for this specific announcement was limited rather than open. It was restricted to entities already funded under a prior related mechanism, HM08-805, and applicants were directed to review the full announcement for the detailed eligibility language. The "Eligible Applicants" field is summarized as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," but the key constraint is that only current HM08-805 grantees could apply, making this an extension or targeted supplement opportunity intended for an existing cohort rather than new entrants.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted on June 26, 2012, with an original closing date of July 27, 2012, later extended to a current closing date of August 20, 2012. The archive date was September 19, 2012, signaling that it is no longer active. The record also lists a creation date of August 15, 2012, which often reflects when the listing was formally entered or updated in the system rather than the first public posting.
For administrative support and questions, CDC provided a point of contact for applicants who had difficulty accessing the full announcement electronically: CDC PGO TIMS, with a general submission inquiries phone number of 770-488-2700. Overall, the opportunity was structured to help already-funded public health improvement grantees deepen and spread capacity building assistance that strengthens foundational public health infrastructure and improves performance across STLT health departments, with explicit attention to planning, coordination, implementation quality, evaluation rigor, and dissemination of evidence-based practices.
