- Current REACH U.S. grantees are not eligible to apply for this funding opportunity. REACH CORE justifies limited competition to eligible applicants who are not current REACH US award recipients for the following reasons. The FY2007 REACH recompetition rendered 140 approved but unfunded applications indicating the level of interest and readiness of racial and ethnic minority communities across the country to launch and sustain programs that address racial and ethnic health disparities. The REACH CORE program provides much needed resources for those communities strategically poised to achieve larger scale community health impacts through an aggressive and targeted policy, system, and environmental change community action plan. At the time of award for REACH CORE, REACH US grantees will begin project period year 04 of implementation and evaluation. Maintaining focus and course of action on achieving established goals and objectives through the end of the project period supports the importance of improving health outcomes and the elimination of identified health disparities in these REACH US communities. Eligible applicants that can apply for this funding opportunity are listed below Nonprofit organizations For profit organizations (other than small business) Small, minority, and women owned businesses Universities Colleges Research institutions Hospitals Community based organizations Faith based organizations Federally recognized or state recognized American Indian/Alaska Native tribal governments American Indian/Alaska native tribally designated organizations Alaska Native health corporations Urban Indian health organizations Tribal epidemiology centers State and local governments or their Bona Fide Agents (this includes the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianna Islands, American Samoa, Guam, the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Republic of Palau) Political subdivisions of States (in consultation with States) A Bona Fide Agent is an agency/organization identified by the state as eligible to submit an application under the state eligibility in lieu of a state application.

Opportunity Summary:
The Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health for Communities (REACH CORE) opportunity (CDC RFA DP10-1014) is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention cooperative agreement designed to help local communities organize and carry out evidence-based policy, systems, and environmental (PSE) changes that reduce and ultimately eliminate racial and ethnic disparities in chronic disease. The central idea is to move communities beyond simply documenting disparities or assessing what works, and into a more action-oriented phase where results are actively used to drive health equity improvements and concrete policy change. In practice, this means supporting community-led efforts that change the conditions shaping health such as organizational practices, local policies, and community environments, rather than relying only on individual behavior change programs.
A defining feature of this funding opportunity is its emphasis on a phased project period with clear outcomes expected in each phase. This structure is intended to help communities progress in an organized way from planning and implementation to evaluation and then to broader application of findings, including using evaluation results to inform decisions, strengthen strategies, and advance sustainable policy and systems shifts. Another distinguishing aspect is the explicit intent to engage populations that are often left out of PSE change processes, which historically has limited who benefits from public health improvements. By centering communities of color and ensuring their participation in shaping and implementing interventions, the program aims to close persistent gaps in the reach and impact of PSE strategies.
REACH CORE was positioned to run alongside the ongoing REACH U.S. program, with the concept that the two efforts would complement each other. REACH CORE focuses heavily on generating and applying evidence-based PSE change strategies, while REACH U.S. has been associated with evidence-based behavioral change and community interventions. Together, the approach is meant to more effectively reduce chronic disease disparities at a population level by pairing structural changes in communities with proven community and behavior-focused strategies.
The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally signals a more hands-on partnership with CDC compared to a standard grant, often including federal involvement in technical assistance, collaboration on evaluation, and shared expectations about deliverables and outcomes. The opportunity was categorized as discretionary funding under the health activity area, with an anticipated 10 awards. Total estimated funding was $4,000,000, with individual awards expected to fall between $200,000 and $250,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement.
Eligibility was broad across public, private, academic, and community sectors, including nonprofit and for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), small/minority/women-owned businesses, universities and colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based and faith-based organizations, tribal governments and tribally designated organizations, Alaska Native health corporations, Urban Indian health organizations, tribal epidemiology centers, and state and local governments or bona fide agents (including U.S. territories and affiliated jurisdictions listed in the announcement). However, there was a key restriction: current REACH U.S. grantees were not eligible to apply. CDC justified this limited competition by pointing to substantial unmet demand shown in prior REACH competitions and the need to resource additional communities that were ready to implement aggressive, targeted PSE action plans, while allowing existing REACH U.S. awardees to stay focused on completing their established implementation and evaluation plans.
The timeline in the announcement indicates the opportunity was posted June 11, 2010, with an application closing date of July 21, 2010, and an archive date of August 20, 2010. For applicant support or access issues, the announcement directed inquiries to the CDC Procurement and Grants Office (770-488-2700, pgotim@cdc.gov).

REACH CORE (Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health for Communities) is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cooperative agreement intended to help local communities organize and carry out evidence-based policy, systems, and environmental (PSE) changes to reduce and ultimately eliminate racial and ethnic disparities in chronic disease.
What is the primary goal of REACH CORE?

What types of strategies does REACH CORE emphasize?
REACH CORE emphasizes evidence-based policy, systems, and environmental (PSE) change strategies. The opportunity is designed to move communities beyond documenting disparities or only assessing what works, and into an action-oriented phase where results are actively used to implement and sustain structural changes.
How is REACH CORE different from programs that focus on individual behavior change?
Rather than relying only on individual behavior change programs, REACH CORE prioritizes changes to the conditions that shape health, including organizational practices, local policies, and community environments.
