Opportunity Summary:

This notice describes a CDC funding opportunity titled "PPHF 2015 Hospitals Promoting Breastfeeding - Building Capacity of the Public Health System to Improve Population Health through National, Nonprofit Organizations," administered through the Office for State, Tribal, Local and Territorial Support (OSTLTS). It was issued as guidance for informational purposes and, importantly, it was not a call for new applications. Instead, it explains how fiscal year 2015 Prevention and Public Health Fund (PPHF) dollars would be used under an existing cooperative agreement framework tied to earlier awards.

The funding vehicle identified is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the CDC expects to have substantial involvement in the work (for example, providing technical assistance, direction, or collaboration) rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal interaction. The activity category is health, and the program is associated with CFDA 93.524, "Building Capacity of the Public Health System to Improve Population Health through National, Nonprofit Organizations." No cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated.

A key point is eligibility: this was a continuation action intended only for organizations that had already been funded under the earlier CDC announcement CDC RFA OT13-1302, which carried the same broader theme of building public health system capacity through national nonprofit organizations. In other words, the notice functioned as an administrative and programmatic update for existing recipients rather than an open competition for new entities. The listing also notes "Eligible Applicants: Others (see text)," but the accompanying eligibility language clarifies that the only eligible parties were prior grantees under that specific earlier funding opportunity.

The posting and administrative timeline shows it was posted and created on June 12, 2015, with an original and current closing date of July 10, 2015, and an archive date of August 9, 2015. Even though dates are listed in the format used for competitive announcements, the repeated language stating that applications were not being solicited signals that the dates were more about formalizing the continuation guidance within the federal grants system than about accepting proposals. The record also lists expected awards as 0 and shows estimated total funding, award ceiling, and award floor all as 0, reinforcing that this entry was not advertising new money available through an open award process at that time, but documenting the use of funds within an existing award structure.

Programmatically, the title highlights "Hospitals Promoting Breastfeeding," indicating the continuation funds were connected to efforts that support breastfeeding-related practices in hospital settings as part of broader public health capacity-building work carried out by national nonprofit partners. While the excerpt does not detail specific required activities or deliverables, the emphasis suggests work aligned with strengthening systems, policies, professional practices, and organizational capacity that can improve breastfeeding support in maternity care settings, consistent with population health improvement goals.

For technical assistance or issues accessing the full announcement, the notice directs readers to the CDC Procurement and Grants Office (PGO), Technical Information Management, with the provided email (pgotim@cdc.gov) and phone number (770-488-2700).
