Opportunity Summary:

The Public Prevention Health Fund Pacific Islands Supplemental Funding opportunity (CDC RFA DP09 9020302PPHF11) was a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) discretionary cooperative agreement intended to provide targeted supplemental support under an existing five-year US Affiliated Pacific Island collaborative performance framework. While the larger collaborative effort referenced tobacco control, diabetes prevention and control, and the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), this particular supplemental award was specifically aimed at strengthening Guam's capacity to reduce tobacco use and to contribute to broader cessation infrastructure improvements. The funding was aligned with Affordable Care Act (ACA) prevention priorities and fell under CFDA 93.520, associated with Communities Putting Prevention to Work.

The core purpose of the award was twofold. First, it sought to enhance Guam's ability to reduce tobacco use through a combination of legislative and regulatory approaches alongside education-focused strategies. In practice, this kind of scope typically supports efforts that improve the policy environment around tobacco (such as smoke-free protections, sales restrictions, pricing or tax-related measures where applicable, and rules governing marketing and access), while also strengthening public awareness and prevention messaging. The emphasis on legislative, regulatory, and educational arenas signals that CDC was looking for population-level impact rather than only individual-level services, meaning the funds were meant to help create conditions that discourage tobacco initiation, promote quitting, and reduce exposure to secondhand smoke.

Second, the opportunity explicitly aimed to "enhance and expand the national network of tobacco cessation quitlines" in order to increase the number of tobacco users who quit each year. Quitlines are telephone-based cessation services that usually include counseling, referral to local services, and sometimes coordination around cessation medications or other supports depending on jurisdiction and program design. By strengthening Guam's participation and capacity in this area, the award intended to contribute to measurable increases in quitting, thereby reducing tobacco-related illness and deaths and lowering associated healthcare costs over time. The language around reducing mortality, morbidity, and healthcare costs indicates that CDC expected the investment to translate into tangible public health outcomes, with cessation services functioning as a key, evidence-based tool to accelerate those outcomes.

Administratively, this was a cooperative agreement, which generally means CDC anticipated an ongoing, collaborative relationship with the recipient rather than a hands-off grant structure. Cooperative agreements often involve substantial federal programmatic involvement, such as technical assistance, shared planning expectations, performance monitoring, and alignment with national public health strategies. The synopsis lists one expected award, with both the award ceiling and floor set at $50,000, indicating a single, fixed-amount supplemental award rather than a competitive range of potential funding levels. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so Guam did not need to provide non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.

Eligibility was limited to Guam, as reflected in the eligibility information field, making this a targeted supplemental funding action rather than a broad competition open to multiple jurisdictions. The opportunity was posted April 1, 2011, with a closing date of May 2, 2011, and it was later archived June 1, 2011. For applicants or stakeholders needing access to the full announcement at the time, the CDC Procurement and Grants Office (PGO), Technical Information and Management Section (TIMS) was the listed point of contact for assistance with electronic access and general submission questions (phone 770-488-2700).
