Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA DP19 1901
The grant opportunity titled "Prevention and Control of Chronic Disease and Associated Risk Factors in the U.S. Affiliated Pacific Islands, U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico" (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA DP19-1901) is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cooperative agreement designed to reduce the burden of major chronic diseases and key risk factors in U.S. island jurisdictions. The focus is on three high-impact areas that drive illness, disability, and health care costs: tobacco use and secondhand smoke exposure, diabetes prevention and management, and cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention and management. The program is administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the CDC's National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), and it falls under CFDA 93.377.
This funding announcement is structured around two linked components: a required Core Component and an optional Oral Health Component. Every applicant must apply to the Core Component, and only those selected for Core funding can be considered for the Oral Health add-on. Applicants submit one application that clearly separates and identifies the Core and (if requested) Oral Health portions. A key point in how CDC intends to make awards is that final award amounts are not guaranteed simply because an applicant includes the optional Oral Health activities; funding levels ultimately depend on the overall quality of the proposal, including the strength of the work plan and how well the activities align with the NOFO requirements.
The Core Component is the centerpiece of the program and is competitive and mandatory for all applicants. It supports both implementation and evaluation of a set of evidence-based strategies aimed at: (1) reducing tobacco use and exposure to secondhand smoke, (2) preventing diabetes and improving diabetes management, and (3) preventing and managing cardiovascular disease. Applicants are expected to propose a comprehensive work plan that addresses all three topic areas rather than focusing on only one. The NOFO specifies that the work plan must align with four strategies described in the announcement, meaning applicants need to organize activities in a way that directly maps to CDC's required strategic approach (for example, aligning interventions, systems changes, partnerships, and evaluation under the strategy framework laid out in the NOFO). Because this is a cooperative agreement, recipients should also expect substantial involvement from CDC in areas such as technical assistance, collaboration on performance measurement, and expectations for monitoring and evaluation rather than a simple pass-through grant with minimal federal interaction.
The optional Oral Health Component is a smaller, targeted set of activities meant to strengthen oral health capacity and help island communities better address oral health needs. While optional, it is still competitive, and it is only available to applicants who first succeed in the Core competition. The intent is not to build a standalone oral health program separate from chronic disease work, but to support selected oral health capacity-building and service improvement activities that complement broader public health efforts in these jurisdictions. Applicants interested in this component need to explicitly describe oral health activities and evaluation plans within the single application submission, while making it clear that the Core requirements are fully met.
In terms of basic funding details, the opportunity category is discretionary, and the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement. The award ceiling listed is $1,400,000, with an expectation of up to 8 awards. Eligibility is described as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), although applicants are still subject to any eligibility clarifications in the full announcement text. The opportunity was created on November 6, 2018, and the original application closing date was January 11, 2019, with electronic applications due by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date.
Overall, this NOFO is built for applicants that can manage a coordinated chronic disease portfolio across multiple risk-factor areas, demonstrate readiness to implement proven interventions, and show they can measure results through a clear evaluation approach. The program is tailored to the U.S. Affiliated Pacific Islands, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico, reflecting the CDC's intent to support jurisdiction-wide public health strategies that fit island settings, strengthen local capacity, and produce measurable improvements in tobacco-related outcomes, diabetes outcomes, and cardiovascular health, with oral health improvements available as an additional, optional layer for strong Core awardees.Apply for CDC RFA DP19 1901
