Building Capacity for Chronic Disease Education and Awareness

The purpose of this 4-year NOFO is to fund approximately 4 applicants to expand and advance CDC’s work with stakeholders on education, outreach, and public awareness activities to strengthen the science base for prevention, education, and public health awareness for a variety of chronic diseases that do not currently have dedicated resources that would lead to meaningful patient outcomes. Stakeholders will focus on data dissemination, education, and public awareness activities that will support effective, evidence-based clinical and population-level approaches to improve health and health equity.
