[HealthyTribes] CDC Funding Opportunity -- LOI Due This Week

[Gramp Heather]

Please see the information on CDC funding opportunity announcements (FOAs) that may help advance your chronic disease prevention and health promotion work. A Letter of Intent (LOI) is required for one of these, in order to apply - this week.

Please consider pursuing this funding by getting in an LOI this week, and then thinking more strategically about your application details in coming weeks. Your liaisons are resources for you in that process.

FOAs in brief:

  *   Address one or more of the leading risk factors for the major causes of death and disability in the United States: tobacco use, poor nutrition, and physical inactivity.
  *   Address key health system improvements and community supports to help Americans manage their chronic conditions such as high blood pressure and pre-diabetes.
  *   Involve partnerships at the national, state, or local level because public health cannot solve these problems alone.

CDC is concentrating resources on key risk factors and major diseases to reach the overall goals of reducing:

  *   Rates of death and disability due to tobacco use by 5%.
  *   Prevalence of obesity by 3%.
  *   Rates of death and disability due to diabetes, heart disease, and stroke by 3%.

(DP14-1417) Partnership to Improve Community Health - LOI Due June 5, 2014
Partnerships to Improve Community Health (PICH) will fund and support a new 3-year, $50 million/year initiative to improve health and reduce the burden of chronic diseases through evidence- and practice-based strategies to create or strengthen healthy environments that make it easier for people to make healthy choices and take charge of their health. An estimated 30 to 40 cooperative agreements will be awarded to governmental agencies and non-governmental organizations to work through multi-sectoral community coalitions consisting of businesses, schools, non-profit organizations, local health departments, health care organizations, community planning agencies, local housing authorities, social service agencies, agricultural extension programs, civic organizations, park and recreation departments, faith-based institutions, and other community-based organizations. Awardees will work to reduce tobacco use and exposure, improve nutrition, increase physical activity, and improve access to chronic disease prevention, risk reduction, and management opportunities. Projects will serve three types of geographic areas: large cities and urban counties, small cities and counties, and American Indian tribes and Alaska Native villages.

This 5-year, $14 million/year initiative aims to prevent heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and associated risk factors in American Indian tribes and Alaskan Native villages through a holistic approach to population health and wellness.  The initiative will support efforts by American Indian tribes and Alaskan Native villages to implement a variety of effective community-chosen and culturally adapted policies, systems, and environmental changes. These changes will aim to reduce commercial tobacco use and exposure, improve nutrition and physical activity, increase support for breastfeeding, increase health literacy, and strengthen team-based care and community-clinical links. Funds will support approximately 12 American Indian tribes and Alaskan Native villages directly and approximately 12 Tribal Organizations (one of each in each of 12 IHS administrative areas)  to provide leadership, technical assistance, training, and resources to  American Indian tribes and Alaskan Native villages within their IHS Administrative Areas.
