Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "PPHF 2015 Nutrition, Physical Activity and Obesity Base Activities - State Public Health Actions to Prevent and Control Diabetes, Heart Disease, Obesity and Associated Risk Factors and Promote School Health" (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA DP13-130503PPHF15), was a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cooperative agreement notice published for informational purposes as part of the Prevention and Public Health Fund (PPHF) fiscal year 2015 efforts. It sat within the broader CDC initiative commonly referred to as "State Public Health Actions," which supports states in carrying out population-level strategies to reduce chronic disease burden, specifically diabetes, heart disease and stroke, obesity, and related risk factors, while also advancing school health approaches. The opportunity was posted on May 8, 2015, with an original and current closing date of June 8, 2015, and it was archived on July 8, 2015.
A key point is that this was not an open competition. It was structured as continuation funding only, meaning it was intended exclusively for entities that had already been funded under earlier related CDC awards. The eligibility language makes that explicit: only grantees previously awarded under CDC RFA DP13-130503CONT15 (and more broadly the DP13-1305 cooperative agreement) were eligible to receive these continuation funds. In practical terms, this kind of notice functions as an administrative and public record step in maintaining ongoing federal support for existing state-level programs, rather than inviting new applicants to propose new projects.
The award mechanism was a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial CDC involvement beyond what would be expected in a standard grant. Under a cooperative agreement model, recipients generally implement the work while collaborating with CDC on technical assistance, performance monitoring, and alignment to evidence-based approaches and national program requirements. The activity category was listed as health, consistent with the chronic disease prevention and school health focus.
The funding record shows "ExpectedAwards: 0" and all dollar fields such as estimated total funding, ceiling, and floor as 0. That presentation usually reflects how continuation actions are sometimes posted or cataloged in a grants system for tracking and transparency even when the amounts are managed through separate continuation processes, formulas, or prior-year award structures, rather than signaling that no resources were actually associated with the continuation. The CFDA number associated with this program was 93.757, "State and Local Public Health Actions to Prevent Obesity, Diabetes, Heart Disease and Stroke (PPHF)," and the notice stated there was no cost sharing or matching requirement.
Programmatically, the title and referenced CDC divisions point to an integrated chronic disease prevention approach involving multiple CDC units, including the Division of Diabetes Translation, the Division for Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention, the Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity and Obesity, and the Division of Population Health/School Health Branch. That combination reflects a coordinated strategy in which states are supported to implement aligned interventions across clinical and community settings and within schools. Although this particular summary record does not list specific required activities, the overall "State Public Health Actions" framework is generally associated with improving nutrition and physical activity environments, strengthening chronic disease prevention systems, advancing policy and systems changes, increasing use of evidence-based practices, and improving school health policies and practices, all aimed at lowering risk factors and improving health outcomes over time.
