Opportunity Summary:
The State Oral Disease Prevention Program (CDC RFA DP13-1307) was a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention discretionary funding opportunity designed to strengthen what state health departments can do to prevent oral disease and improve oral health statewide. The program’s central goal was capacity building: helping states build or maintain the core public health infrastructure needed to implement proven oral disease prevention strategies, evaluate what works, and share results and best practices in ways that advance broader oral health objectives. The award mechanism was a cooperative agreement, which typically means CDC planned to stay actively involved through technical assistance, guidance, and collaboration rather than simply providing pass-through funding.
This opportunity was housed under CFDA 93.283 (CDC Investigations and Technical Assistance) and sat within the health funding activity category. CDC anticipated making about 20 awards. The estimated total funding listed for the announcement was $29,827,500, with individual award amounts generally falling between $150,000 (floor) and $250,000 (ceiling). The announcement stated there was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants did not have to contribute non-federal funds to be eligible.
Eligibility was narrowly focused on state-level public health authorities. Eligible applicants were state governments and the District of Columbia, or their bona fide agents. The justification for limiting eligibility was that state health departments are uniquely positioned to lead statewide oral health efforts because they typically have the dental public health and epidemiologic expertise to define and monitor oral disease burden, the authority and reach to collect and use statewide surveillance data, and the ability to integrate oral health work with other chronic disease programs and policy initiatives across a state. The notice also included an important restriction: state health departments already receiving CDC funds under certain prior oral health cooperative agreements (CDC PA 1046, CDC PA 03022, CDC RFA DP08-802, and CDC RFA DP10-1012) were not eligible for Component 1 of this funding opportunity, indicating CDC was trying to avoid duplicative funding for at least part of the program and likely aimed to broaden reach to additional states.
Key dates were clearly defined. The opportunity was posted on April 11, 2013. A letter of intent was due April 26, 2013, and the full application deadline was May 29, 2013 at 11:59 p.m. U.S. Eastern Time. The funding announcement later moved into archive status, with an archive date of June 28, 2013, reflecting that it was a time-limited competition.
CDC also offered structured technical assistance to potential applicants. Two optional pre-application conference calls were scheduled through the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, Division of Oral Health, on April 16, 2013 (6:00 to 7:30 p.m. EST) and April 17, 2013 (2:00 to 3:30 p.m. EST). The announcement provided dial-in details and pointed applicants to CDC webpages containing frequently asked questions and a form to submit additional questions, along with a general link to broader CDC oral health program information and currently funded awardees.
Overall, the opportunity can be summed up as a CDC effort to expand and reinforce state oral health infrastructure: improving the ability of state health departments to track oral disease, implement and evaluate evidence-based prevention approaches, coordinate with other chronic disease efforts, and disseminate successful strategies so oral health outcomes improve at the population level.
