Opportunity Summary:
The Well Integrated Screening and Evaluation for Women Across the Nation (WISEWOMAN) grant opportunity (CDC RFA DP13-1302) is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention cooperative agreement designed to expand and strengthen cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk screening, prevention, and follow-up services for underserved women by building directly on the infrastructure of the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP). The core idea is that women already being reached for breast and cervical cancer screening often also face elevated risks for hypertension, diabetes, and other cardiovascular risk factors, and WISEWOMAN uses that existing access point to add high-value heart health screening and connections to proven prevention and treatment supports.
The program’s purposes are organized around four main objectives. First, WISEWOMAN is intended to ensure that women ages 40 to 64 who are enrolled in NBCCEDP receive cardiovascular screening. In practical terms, this means integrating CVD-related assessments alongside or in coordination with NBCCEDP services so that eligible women can be screened for key cardiovascular risk factors in a systematic, program-supported way, rather than relying on sporadic or disconnected care.
Second, the opportunity emphasizes partnering with community-based organizations to deliver evidence-based prevention services for women who need risk reduction support. The announcement highlights formal agreements with organizations that can provide structured lifestyle and prevention interventions, with examples including the YMCA, Weight Watchers, and providers of Diabetes Prevention-type programs. This reflects a focus on using interventions that already have a research base and operational capacity, rather than asking grantees to invent new programs from scratch. It also signals that the program is meant to extend beyond the clinic by linking screened participants to real-world supports that can help with weight management, physical activity, nutrition, and diabetes risk reduction.
Third, WISEWOMAN prioritizes improving the management and control of hypertension through innovative health-system approaches and stronger community-clinical linkages. The announcement points to strategies such as team-based care and pharmacy medication management programs, both of which are commonly associated with improving blood pressure control by expanding the care team, improving medication adherence and optimization, and creating more consistent follow-up. This objective is not limited to identifying high blood pressure; it aims to strengthen how health systems and community partners work together so that hypertension is actually controlled over time.
Fourth, the program requires robust evaluation and reporting. Grantees are expected to gather and report program-related data, including impact measures. In other words, WISEWOMAN is structured not only as a service program but also as a performance-and-outcomes-driven initiative where participants, services delivered, follow-up actions, and measurable results are tracked and communicated back to CDC.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, this opportunity is a discretionary cooperative agreement in the health category. Cooperative agreement status matters because it generally implies substantial federal involvement compared with a standard grant, such as CDC technical assistance, collaboration on program implementation expectations, and closer monitoring of performance and reporting. The estimated total funding listed is $64,000,000, with an expected 21 awards. Individual award amounts are shown with a floor of $500,000 and a ceiling of $2,000,000. No cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated.
Eligibility is tightly defined by statute and program structure. Applicants must already be recipients of NBCCEDP funding, because WISEWOMAN participants must be enrolled in NBCCEDP to receive WISEWOMAN services. Eligible applicant types include state and local governments (or their bona fide agents), specified U.S. territories and freely associated states (including the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, Guam, the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Republic of Palau), as well as federally or state-recognized American Indian/Alaska Native tribal governments and tribally designated organizations. The practical effect is that WISEWOMAN is not an open competition for any nonprofit or university; it is targeted to public health entities and tribal organizations already operating NBCCEDP programs and able to integrate cardiovascular screening and follow-up into that established service pathway.
Key dates shown in the opportunity record indicate it was posted March 15, 2013, with an original and current closing date of April 30, 2013, and an archive date of May 30, 2013. The listing also provides a CDC Procurement and Grants Office contact (Technical Information Management Section) for applicants who had difficulty accessing the full announcement.
Overall, WISEWOMAN is a focused public health funding opportunity aimed at reaching women who may have limited access to preventive care, leveraging the NBCCEDP platform to add cardiovascular risk screening, and then ensuring the results lead somewhere meaningful through evidence-based community prevention programs, improved clinical hypertension management approaches, and strong evaluation and reporting so CDC can assess reach, quality, and health impact.
WISEWOMAN (CDC RFA DP13-1302) - Frequently Asked Questions
What is the WISEWOMAN grant opportunity?
The Well Integrated Screening and Evaluation for Women Across the Nation (WISEWOMAN) opportunity (CDC RFA DP13-1302) is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) discretionary cooperative agreement intended to expand and strengthen cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk screening, prevention, and follow-up services for underserved women.
What is the main idea behind WISEWOMAN?
WISEWOMAN builds directly on the infrastructure of the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP). The concept is to use the existing access point created by breast and cervical cancer screening services to also screen for key heart health risks and connect women to proven prevention and treatment supports.
How does WISEWOMAN connect to NBCCEDP?
WISEWOMAN services are designed for women who are already enrolled in NBCCEDP. The program integrates cardiovascular screening alongside, or in coordination with, NBCCEDP services so screening and follow-up are systematic rather than sporadic or disconnected.
Who is the intended population served by WISEWOMAN?
The program focuses on underserved women ages 40 to 64 who are enrolled in NBCCEDP, with the goal of providing cardiovascular screening and appropriate prevention and follow-up services.
What are the major objectives of the WISEWOMAN program?
The opportunity is organized around four primary objectives:
- Ensure women ages 40 to 64 enrolled in NBCCEDP receive cardiovascular screening.
- Partner with community-based organizations to provide evidence-based prevention services.
- Improve management and control of hypertension through innovative health-system approaches and stronger community-clinical linkages.
- Conduct robust evaluation and reporting, including collecting and reporting program-related data and impact measures.
