Expanding the National Approach to Chronic Disease Education and Awareness

The purpose of this 3-year NOFO is to fund up to 6 applicants to increase awareness related to a single proposed chronic disease for public health practitioners, healthcare providers, patients, and the public. Recipients will focus on conducting data dissemination and educational activities to increase and expand awareness about that proposed chronic condition to support effective, evidenced-based clinical and population-level approaches.

Bona fide agents are eligible to apply. For more information about bona fide agents, please see the CDC webpage on Expediting the Federal Grant Process with an Administrative Partner.CDC will not consider any application that proposes: 1) More than a single chronic disease to focus on during the life of the grant; 2) A proposed chronic disease that does not meet the definition of a chronic disease. A chronic disease is defined broadly as a condition that lasts 1 year or more and requires ongoing medical attention or limits activities of daily living or both; or 3) Arthritis, Heart Disease, Cancer, Stroke, Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias, Diabetes, Epilepsy, Lupus, and Chronic Kidney Disease, or any other chronic disease with a dedicated funding line in the FY 2024 Appropriations Act, as described on CDC’s FY 2024 operating budget plan. Any application proposing a chronic disease that meets any of these three (3) criteria will be deemed non-responsive, and it will receive no further review. Applicants must upload a statement that identifies their proposed chronic disease as a PDF file, under miscellaneous attachments, and name the file “Proposed Chronic Disease.” Recipients currently funded through CDC-RFA-DP23-0067 are not eligible to apply.
