Opportunity Summary:
The PPHF 2014 Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health (REACH) funding opportunity (CDC RFA DP14-1419PPHF14) was a three-year cooperative agreement program run by the CDCs National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP). Its overall goal was to help communities create healthier environments and reduce chronic disease disparities affecting racial and ethnic minority populations. The program emphasized community-driven work that improves health at the population level, rather than focusing only on individual education or clinical services, by investing in policy, systems, and environmental (PSE) strategies that are evidence-based or practice-based and tailored to local conditions.
At the core of the opportunity was a push to strengthen existing community capacity to implement and sustain PSE improvements in places where chronic disease burdens and risk factors were unequally distributed. Applicants were expected to pick a clearly defined priority population experiencing documented disparities and then propose interventions that directly address the conditions and risk factors contributing to common and debilitating chronic diseases. The CDC made clear that applicants needed to bring compelling local data to justify both the choice of priority population and the selection of intervention strategies, showing why those approaches were likely to improve health outcomes and advance health equity in that specific community context.
The announcement also placed heavy weight on implementation quality, evaluation, and sharing lessons learned. Funded communities were expected not only to put strategies into practice, but also to evaluate results in a strong, credible way and disseminate what they learned so that the broader field could better understand what works in community-centered efforts to reduce or eliminate health disparities. In other words, REACH was designed both to produce near-term community improvements and to build a stronger evidence base for approaches led by and rooted in racial and ethnic minority communities and their partners.
This was a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement mechanism, meaning recipients would carry out the work while engaging with CDC in an active partnership-style relationship typical of cooperative agreements. The total estimated funding was about $105,000,000, with an expected 60 awards. Individual awards were projected to range from $300,000 to $500,000 per year, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement.
Eligibility was broad and included local governments (or bona fide agents), public and private nonprofit organizations, for-profit entities, small/minority/women-owned businesses, universities and colleges, hospitals, community-based and faith-based organizations, a variety of tribal entities and tribal health organizations (including tribal epidemiology centers, Alaska Native health corporations, and urban Indian health organizations), and public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities. A key gatekeeping requirement was the mandatory Letter of Intent (LOI): submitting an LOI by the stated deadline was required to be considered eligible, and failure to do so made an applicant non-responsive and unable to continue in the process.
Key dates for the 2014 cycle were an LOI deadline of June 6, 2014, and an application deadline of July 22, 2014 by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time through Grants.gov. The CDC also hosted an informational conference call for potential applicants on May 30, 2014. The opportunity was posted June 16, 2014, and later archived August 21, 2014.
