Opportunity Summary:

The Prevention and Public Health Fund Coordinated Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion Program (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA DP09-9010301PPHF11) is a CDC discretionary funding opportunity offered as a cooperative agreement to help state and territorial health departments build or reinforce a coordinated chronic disease infrastructure. The basic idea is to move beyond running separate, siloed disease programs and instead create stronger leadership, coordination, and shared support functions across multiple CDC-funded chronic disease efforts. By doing that, the program aims to improve efficiency and increase the overall public health impact of prevention and health promotion work that targets the biggest chronic disease burdens.

The program centers its work on the five leading chronic disease causes of death and disability: heart disease, cancer, stroke, diabetes, and arthritis. It also emphasizes the major risk factors that cut across those conditions, such as poor nutrition, physical inactivity, and obesity, along with other related contributors typically addressed through public health approaches. Rather than treating each condition as a standalone category, the opportunity encourages states to align planning, implementation, and evaluation across related disease and risk-factor programs. In practice, that means strengthening the state health department's ability to provide strategic direction, coordinate partners and activities, support consistent program implementation, and measure outcomes in a way that helps multiple chronic disease initiatives move together.

Because it is structured as a cooperative agreement, recipients should expect substantial federal involvement compared to a standard grant. Cooperative agreements commonly include close collaboration with CDC on planning, performance monitoring, and technical assistance. The opportunity specifically highlights support for development, implementation, and evaluation of CDC-funded chronic disease prevention and health promotion programs, which signals that awardees are expected to improve not only what is delivered, but also how programs are managed and assessed across the department. The focus is on creating a stronger backbone for chronic disease work, including crosscutting coordination among programs addressing heart disease, cancer prevention and control, stroke, arthritis, diabetes, and risk-factor areas like nutrition, physical activity, and obesity.

Eligibility is limited. Only grantees already funded under DP09-901 are eligible, specifically state health departments, the District of Columbia, and territorial health departments (Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands), or their bona fide agents. In other words, this is not an open competition for all organizations; it is designed as a continuation or enhancement opportunity for jurisdictions already participating under the referenced DP09-901 funding framework.

In terms of scope and scale, the CDC anticipated 53 awards, aligning with the number of state and eligible territorial jurisdictions. The CFDA number associated with the program is 93.544, and the opportunity is authorized under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (Affordable Care Act), which created the Prevention and Public Health Fund as a dedicated funding stream to support prevention-focused public health initiatives. The posting date was June 8, 2011, with an original closing date of July 22, 2011 at 5:00 pm Eastern, later extended to August 8, 2011 at 5:00 pm Eastern. The archive date is August 21, 2011. The opportunity lists no cost sharing or matching requirement, reducing the burden on participating jurisdictions to provide non-federal match.

Some funding fields in the source listing are presented in a way that may reflect system formatting rather than program intent. For example, the award ceiling and floor are shown as 0, which typically indicates that a fixed ceiling/floor was not specified in that particular database entry rather than that awards would be zero dollars. The estimated total funding is shown as 129,271 in the excerpt provided, which may also reflect truncated or misformatted data in the listing. For definitive figures, applicants would generally rely on the full announcement text referenced in the posting (noting that the additional information link in the listing is inactive and directs users to the full announcement tab).

For applicants or agencies needing access support, the contact point provided is the CDC Procurement and Grants Office (PGO), Technical Information and Management Section (TIMS), with a general submission inquiries phone number of 770-488-2700.
