Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Public Health Actions to Prevent and Control Diabetes, Tobacco Use, Heart Disease, and associated chronic Disease Risk Factors and improve health in the US Affiliated Pacific Islands, Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico," is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cooperative agreement focused on strengthening chronic disease prevention and control efforts in U.S. territories and affiliated island jurisdictions. The program’s overall intent is to reduce the burden of major chronic conditions and the risk factors that drive them, especially diabetes, tobacco use, and heart disease, while also supporting broader public health actions that improve population health outcomes in these jurisdictions.
The opportunity is issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) through the CDC, specifically under the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP). It is listed as a continuation funding opportunity, meaning it is designed to extend or continue work that is already underway rather than launch an entirely new initiative from scratch. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates a more hands-on federal role than a standard grant. In cooperative agreements, CDC generally provides substantial involvement such as technical assistance, collaboration on strategy, performance monitoring, and support for implementing evidence-based interventions and public health infrastructure improvements.
The opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number "CDC RFA DP14 140604CONT17" and falls under the activity category of Health. It is associated with CFDA number 93.945, which corresponds to assistance programs that support chronic disease prevention and health promotion activities. The posting shows a creation date of September 28, 2016, with an original closing date of November 30, 2016. The listing anticipates up to 10 awards, suggesting multiple jurisdictions or entities would receive support to carry out the program activities. The award ceiling is listed as 0 in the source information, which often indicates that a specific maximum award amount is not provided in the synopsis or is determined through other documentation, negotiations, or continuation funding formulas rather than a single advertised cap.
Eligibility is described broadly as "Others" with a note to consult additional eligibility details in the full announcement. For opportunities of this type, that wording commonly signals that eligible applicants may include territorial or island jurisdiction health departments, governmental public health agencies, or other designated organizations operating in the U.S. Affiliated Pacific Islands, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico, depending on the specific eligibility rules in the full notice. The geographic focus is explicit: the work is intended to improve health outcomes in these U.S.-affiliated and territorial settings, where chronic disease burdens can be high and where public health systems may face unique resource, workforce, access, and infrastructure constraints compared with the continental United States.
Programmatically, the emphasis is on coordinated public health action across several major chronic disease domains and their shared risk factors. That typically includes prevention and control strategies such as improving detection and management of diabetes and cardiovascular risk (for example, hypertension control and cholesterol management), reducing tobacco use through evidence-based policy and program interventions, and addressing cross-cutting factors that influence chronic disease outcomes (such as nutrition, physical activity, clinical-community linkages, and systems that support long-term disease management). Because the announcement is framed around "public health actions" rather than a single disease vertical, it implies an integrated approach, where jurisdictions use surveillance and data to prioritize needs, implement proven interventions, and build sustainable systems that can be maintained beyond the period of federal support.
In practical terms, a cooperative agreement of this kind often supports activities like strengthening chronic disease epidemiology and surveillance, improving reporting and use of data for decision-making, implementing population-level strategies (including policy, systems, and environmental approaches), supporting healthcare system improvements that raise the quality of chronic disease care, and creating partnerships that connect clinical services with community programs. The mention of "associated chronic disease risk factors" broadens the scope beyond just diabetes, tobacco, and heart disease, signaling that the work may also involve upstream prevention and risk reduction measures that have measurable impact across multiple conditions.
Overall, this opportunity is best understood as CDC support for sustained, evidence-based chronic disease prevention and control infrastructure and interventions in Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the U.S. Affiliated Pacific Islands. It aims to help jurisdictions reduce chronic disease illness and death by tackling tobacco use and cardiometabolic risks through coordinated public health practice, strong partnerships, and ongoing CDC technical collaboration under a continuation cooperative agreement structure.

Does the opportunity support work beyond diabetes, tobacco use, and heart disease?
Yes. The mention of "associated chronic disease risk factors" broadens the scope beyond those three focus areas, signaling potential work on upstream prevention and risk reduction measures that can affect multiple chronic conditions.
What types of strategies are implied by "public health actions"?

What does CDC involvement typically look like in a cooperative agreement?
CDC involvement typically includes technical assistance, collaboration on strategy, performance monitoring, and support for implementation of evidence-based interventions and infrastructure improvements, reflecting a more hands-on federal role than a standard grant.
What does an "integrated approach" mean in the context of this opportunity?
Because the announcement is framed around coordinated actions across multiple chronic disease domains and shared risk factors, an integrated approach generally means aligning surveillance, priorities, interventions, and partnerships so that improvements in areas like tobacco control and cardiometabolic risk reduction contribute to better outcomes across multiple chronic conditions.
What kinds of chronic disease care improvements are referenced?
The description references improving detection and management of diabetes and cardiovascular risk, including examples such as hypertension control and cholesterol management, along with strengthening systems that support long-term disease management.
Why are Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the U.S. Affiliated Pacific Islands specifically highlighted?
The information provided notes that these jurisdictions can face unique resource, workforce, access, and infrastructure constraints compared with the continental United States, and may have high chronic disease burdens, making strengthened prevention and control efforts particularly important.
Is the focus primarily on clinical services or population-level prevention?
The description points to both. It references healthcare system improvements and chronic disease care quality, while also emphasizing population-level strategies such as policy, systems, and environmental approaches and broader public health infrastructure improvements.
What is the core outcome this program is trying to achieve?
The core outcome is reduced chronic disease illness and death by tackling tobacco use and cardiometabolic risks through coordinated public health practice, strong partnerships, and ongoing CDC technical collaboration.
