Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA DP18 1814
PPHF2018-National Organization for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (CDC RFA DP18-1814) is a five-year CDC cooperative agreement funded in part by FY2018 Prevention and Public Health Funds. The opportunity is run through the Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, specifically the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP). Its central goal is to strengthen the capacity, skills, and day-to-day capabilities of the public health workforce responsible for chronic disease prevention and health promotion in state health departments. The broader intent is that, by upgrading workforce skills and leadership across key chronic disease system areas, states will more consistently adopt evidence-based prevention approaches and make better use of proven public health tools and resources, ultimately accelerating improvements in population health.
The program is designed around the idea that chronic disease outcomes improve when state programs have both strong technical practice and strong leadership. For that reason, the NOFO emphasizes transforming how chronic disease prevention and health promotion is practiced within state health departments by building leadership and expertise across chronic disease prevention system domains. Rather than funding many separate recipients, the CDC expects to make a single award to one organization that will operate at a national level and support state health departments through coordinated learning, leadership development, and continuous improvement activities. Because it is a cooperative agreement, the relationship is meant to be collaborative, with substantial federal involvement typical of this funding instrument, and with the recipient working closely with CDC to carry out the project strategies and evaluate results.
Two major strategies structure the work. The first is Practice-based Learning, which focuses on practical, applied learning that reflects real challenges in state health department work. Under this strategy, the funded organization is expected to convene and lead peer-to-peer forums where chronic disease professionals can troubleshoot, share solutions, and learn from one another about effective workforce and domain development strategies. The recipient must also assess organizational capacity in state health departments and help develop action plans based on those assessments, ensuring that improvements are not generic but tailored to actual gaps and needs. In addition, the NOFO places importance on expanding the use of technology to deliver learning opportunities in formats that are most accessible to state staff, recognizing that workforce development is more effective when training can be reached easily, repeatedly, and in different modalities.
The second major strategy is Leadership and Development, which targets leadership skills and competencies among Chronic Disease Directors and their staff. The recipient is expected to create an implementation plan that lays out specific activities for building leadership capacity, then expand workforce training aligned with the leadership competencies identified as needed. Beyond training, the program calls for creating leadership development opportunities that can cultivate practical leadership behaviors and strengthen the chronic disease prevention system over time. Another key requirement is to model, translate, and disseminate successful leadership approaches so that effective methods do not remain isolated but can be adopted broadly by states. The strategy culminates in evaluating impact, emphasizing not only whether activities were delivered, but whether they measurably improved leadership development and workforce capability in ways that support chronic disease prevention goals.
Evaluation is a built-in expectation across the NOFO, not an optional add-on. The program requires evaluation to support continuous quality improvement, document which learning and leadership approaches are most successful, and generate information that can guide future decisions about workforce learning and development. In practice, this means the funded organization must track progress, refine approaches based on findings, and provide evidence that the strategies are strengthening the chronic disease prevention workforce and helping states use evidence-based practices more effectively.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary funding opportunity in the health activity category (CFDA 93.437). Eligible applicants are broad and include various levels of government (state, county, city/township, and special districts), public and private institutions of higher education, federally recognized tribal governments and certain tribal organizations, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, nonprofits both with and without 501(c)(3) status (excluding universities where specified), small businesses, and other entities as described in the opportunity’s eligibility clarification text.
