Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "PPHF 2013 OSTLTS Partnerships Building Capacity of the Public Health System to Improve Population Health through National, Nonprofit Organizations" (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA OT13 1302PPHF13) was a CDC discretionary funding competition offered through a cooperative agreement mechanism. It was financed in part by the 2013 Prevention and Public Health Funds (PPHF) and administered under CFDA 93.524, which focuses on building the capacity of the public health system to improve population health through national, nonprofit organizations. In practical terms, the CDC was looking to partner with national nonprofits that could help strengthen how the broader public health system functions and performs across jurisdictions and settings, not just within a single state or locality.
The central purpose of the program was to ensure the provision of capacity-building assistance (CBA) for both governmental and nongovernmental parts of the public health system. The emphasis was on improving the quality and performance of the system as a whole by supporting work that enhances key building blocks of public health infrastructure. The announcement highlights several target areas for improvement: public health systems overall, the public health workforce, public health data and information systems, public health practice and services, public health partnerships, and public health resources. Read plainly, the program aimed to help organizations deliver training, technical assistance, tools, and other supports that make public health agencies and their partners more effective, more coordinated, more data-driven, and better prepared to deliver essential services that improve population health.
Funding for the opportunity was substantial, with an estimated total program funding level of $70,000,000 and an expectation of around 50 awards. Individual award sizes were designed to vary widely depending on the proposed scope, with an award floor of $100,000 and a maximum (award ceiling) of $20,000,000. The program did not require cost sharing or matching funds, which generally lowers the barrier for eligible nonprofits to apply and can make it easier to scale capacity-building work nationally without requiring applicants to bring external match dollars.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations that could document either 501(c)(3) or 501(c)(6) IRS status, specifically excluding institutions of higher education as eligible applicants under the stated criteria. Applicants were required to provide proof of their nonprofit status through a current, valid IRS determination letter uploaded as an attachment in Grants.gov. Beyond basic nonprofit status, the CDC imposed special eligibility requirements designed to ensure that awardees were positioned to deliver national-level impact. Applicants needed to demonstrate national scope and/or reach and show a public health charge or mission. Acceptable documentation included articles of incorporation, bylaws, or board resolutions, submitted as attachments labeled to clearly indicate proof of national scope of work and proof of public health mission.
Key administrative details place the announcement timeline in early 2014. The opportunity was posted and created on March 4, 2014, with an original and current closing date of April 4, 2014, and an archive date of May 4, 2014. The sponsoring agency was the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). For access issues or assistance with the full announcement, the contact listed was CDC/PGO, reachable by phone at 770-488-2700 or by email at pgotim@cdc.gov.
Overall, this opportunity was structured to leverage national nonprofit organizations as multipliers for public health improvement. Rather than funding direct clinical services, it prioritized strengthening the infrastructure and capabilities that enable public health entities and partners to perform better over time: developing workforce competencies, improving data and information systems, supporting evidence-based practice, strengthening partnerships, and improving resource use. The cooperative agreement format also signals that CDC likely anticipated substantial involvement in coordination, guidance, and alignment with national public health priorities while awardees delivered large-scale capacity-building assistance across the public health system.
