OpportunityTitle: Diabetes and Heart Disease &amp; Stroke Prevent Programs-Innovative State and Local Public Health Strategies to Prevent and Manage Diabetes and Heart Disease and Stroke
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: State governments with a population of 900,000 or more (using July 2012 U.S. Census estimates), or their bona fide agents Local governments with a population of 900,000 or more (using July 2012 U.S. Census estimates), or their bona fide agents --Consortia of smaller local/city/county health departments may collaborate to submit one application that, collectively, represents a population of 900,000 or more (using July 2012 U.S. Census estimates).  One organization must be identified in the application as the primary fiduciary agent that will receive the award and be responsible for funds and leadership and coordination of recipient activities.   Applicants are strongly encouraged to coordinate efforts with state and local health departments, where appropriate. The award ceiling is $3,000,000 for an application that includes both Category A and Category B and $1,500,000 for an application that includes a single category, i.e. Category A or Category B. CDC will consider any application requesting an award higher than the aforementioned amounts, as indicated, as non-responsive and it will receive no further review. Applicants may apply to work on Category A strategies, Category B strategies, or both.

Description: This NOFO will support the design, testing, and evaluation of novel approaches to address evidence-based strategies aimed at reducing risks, complications, and barriers to prevention and control of diabetes and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in high-burden populations. Work will occur in state and local/city/county health departments with a population of 900,000 or more where significant reach may be achieved. Consortia of smaller local/city/county health departments may submit one application that, together, includes a population of 900,000 or more (using July 2012 U.S. Census estimates). High burden populations are those that data indicate are affected disproportionately by high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, or prediabetes due to socioeconomic or related factors. Category A includes diabetes management and type 2 diabetes prevention strategies. Category B includes CVD prevention and management strategies. Applicants may apply for Category A, Category B, or both via a single and clearly delineated application. In both categories, applicants will select from a menu of strategies, and should focus in areas where they have capacity to achieve greatest reach and impact. Applicants proposing to work in both categories should divide funds equally, and apply selected Category A and B strategies in the same populations/settings, so that work may be mutually reinforcing.
