Opportunity Summary:
The Public Prevention Health Fund State Supplemental Funding opportunity (CDC RFA DP09 9010201PPHF11) was a CDC cooperative agreement designed to provide supplemental support to a specific, pre-existing set of awardees: state and territorial health departments (or their bona fide agents) that were already funded under the earlier DP09-901 announcement. The core purpose of this supplemental funding was to strengthen and extend the capacity those jurisdictions had already built to prevent and control chronic disease risk factors, with a particular emphasis on reducing tobacco use and improving tobacco cessation outcomes. It was part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's broader prevention strategy under the Affordable Care Act framework and aligned with the Communities Putting Prevention to Work initiative.
The program focus centered on helping jurisdictions reduce tobacco use through multiple, coordinated approaches. This included legislative and regulatory strategies (for example, policies that support smoke-free environments or restrict tobacco promotion), educational and community-facing efforts that discourage initiation and encourage quitting, and improvements to systems that make cessation services easier to reach and more effective. A major operational priority highlighted in the opportunity was enhancing and expanding the national network of tobacco cessation quitlines. The intent was to drive a measurable increase in the number of tobacco users who successfully quit each year, thereby lowering tobacco-related illness and death and reducing associated health care costs over time.
From an administrative standpoint, the award mechanism was a cooperative agreement, meaning recipients would generally be expected to work in close coordination with CDC on program implementation, technical assistance, and performance expectations rather than simply receiving a pass-through grant with minimal federal involvement. The opportunity was categorized as discretionary funding within the health activity category (CFDA 93.520). No cost sharing or matching was required. The synopsis does not list an award floor or ceiling, which typically indicates that funding amounts were determined through program-specific allocations or formulas not captured in the summary fields, or were specified in the full announcement.
Eligibility was intentionally narrow. Only current recipients under RFA DP09-901 were allowed to apply, reflecting that this was supplemental funding meant to build on ongoing work rather than start new programs in new jurisdictions. Eligible applicants were state and territorial health departments and the District of Columbia, or a bona fide agent acting on their behalf, justified by their public health authority to implement chronic disease prevention and tobacco control strategies statewide or territory-wide.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted April 1, 2011, created April 15, 2011, and closed May 2, 2011, with an archive date of June 1, 2011. For access issues related to the full announcement, applicants were directed to the CDC Procurement and Grants Office, Technical Information and Management Section, via the listed phone line (770-488-2700) for general submission inquiries.
