Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "PPHF 2014 Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention Program and Diabetes Prevention State and Local Public Health Actions to Prevent Obesity, Diabetes, and Heart Disease and Stroke" (Funding Opportunity Number CDC-RFA-DP14-1422PPHF14) was a CDC discretionary funding announcement offered as a cooperative agreement. It was financed solely through the 2014 Prevention and Public Health Fund (PPHF) and fell under CFDA 93.757, which supports state and local public health actions aimed at reducing major chronic disease risks and improving population health outcomes related to obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. As a cooperative agreement, the award structure implied an active partnership between CDC and awardees, typically meaning federal project officers provide substantial programmatic involvement, technical assistance, and oversight compared to a traditional grant.
Eligibility was limited to governmental public health entities. Specifically, eligible applicants included state health departments (including the District of Columbia) or their bona fide agents, as well as large city health departments (or their bona fide agents) serving populations of at least 900,000 people, using the July 2012 U.S. Census population estimates as the benchmark. A key special requirement applied to large city applicants: they were required to work in partnership with their state health department (or the state’s bona fide agent) and to submit a letter of support from the state documenting that the activities proposed under this funding announcement were being coordinated with the state’s DP13-1305 activities. In practical terms, that coordination requirement was meant to prevent duplication, align strategies across city and state efforts, and ensure that large-city work complemented the state’s broader chronic disease prevention portfolio funded under related CDC initiatives.
The funding scale for this announcement was substantial. CDC estimated total funding at about $280,000,000 and anticipated making roughly 22 awards. Individual awards were expected to fall within a relatively tight band, with an award floor of $2,000,000 and an award ceiling of $4,000,000. The announcement explicitly stated there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which lowered barriers for eligible public agencies that might otherwise struggle to provide non-federal match dollars.
Key administrative dates were clearly laid out. A letter of intent was not required. The application submission deadline was set for late July 2014, with the materials submitted electronically through Grants.gov by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time. The posting date was May 23, 2014, with a creation date of June 2, 2014, and the opportunity ultimately being archived on August 22, 2014. The record shows a change in the closing date from July 23, 2014 to July 22, 2014, while keeping the same late-night deadline time, which is the kind of detail applicants needed to watch closely to avoid a late submission. CDC also offered an informational conference call for potential applicants on May 29, 2014, providing a toll-free dial-in number and participant passcode, reflecting a standard effort to clarify expectations and reduce application errors.
For support and access issues, CDC directed applicants to the Procurement and Grants Office (PGO), Technical Information Management Section (TIMS). The contact information provided included a phone number (770-488-2700) and an email address (pgotim@cdc.gov) for applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, which is typical for federal opportunities where technical barriers can interfere with timely submission and review.
Overall, this funding opportunity targeted high-impact chronic disease prevention work carried out by state and large-city health departments, with an emphasis on coordinated, statewide alignment for large urban jurisdictions. It combined significant federal investment with structured eligibility and coordination requirements designed to support consistent, large-scale public health actions addressing obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and stroke.
