Opportunity Summary:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) grant opportunity titled "Sodium Reduction in Communities" (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA DP13 1301) is a discretionary cooperative agreement program designed to help communities lower population sodium intake to levels recommended in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2010. The program is built around a practical reality: most sodium people consume is already in foods before they buy or prepare them, so meaningful sodium reduction depends less on individual behavior change alone and more on increasing the availability, accessibility, and adoption of lower-sodium food options across everyday community settings. CDC also emphasizes that broad, community-wide sodium reduction work is still relatively new, so the program aims not only to implement strategies but also to build practice-based evidence that can clarify which approaches are most effective and how they can be improved and scaled.
Funding is provided through cooperative agreements, which generally means awardees should expect an active partnership with CDC that may include technical assistance, performance monitoring, and shared learning to strengthen implementation and evaluation. The opportunity anticipated making 7 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $5,700,000. Individual awards were expected to fall between $200,000 (floor) and $250,000 (ceiling). There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which reduces barriers for public health agencies that may not have flexible local dollars to contribute.
Eligible applicants include state health departments, federally recognized American Indian/Native American tribal governments, and large local health departments at the county level or city/township level when they serve jurisdictions over 500,000 people. The announcement also sets out a special structure for reaching smaller communities: an official state health department (or its bona fide agent as designated by the Governor) must serve as the lead and fiduciary agency for applications that involve small city/county and rural communities. For these "State Coordinated" applications, the state lead must include at least two sub-applicants that are either small local jurisdictions (defined here as 50,000 to 500,000 people) or rural jurisdictions (50,000 people and below). In other words, the program is set up so that states can coordinate and support implementation in multiple smaller jurisdictions, rather than requiring each small community to apply independently.
Key dates show that this was a time-limited 2013 funding cycle. The opportunity was posted on May 3, 2013, with a letter of intent deadline of May 20, 2013. Applications were due June 18, 2013 by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time through Grants.gov, and the archive date was July 18, 2013. CDC also offered a technical assistance conference call for interested applicants on May 13, 2013 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time, using a toll-free line (1-877-934-5134) and passcode 45641947. The call was not recorded, but CDC indicated that questions would be posted online at http://www.cdc.gov/salt/foa.htm. For technical access issues related to the full announcement, the contact listed was CDC Procurement and Grants Office, Technical Information Management Section (TIMS), phone 770-488-2700.
Overall, the opportunity focuses on helping public health agencies and their partners shift food environments so that lower-sodium options are easier to find and choose, with the dual purpose of achieving sodium intake reductions aligned with national dietary guidance and generating real-world evidence about community strategies that work.
