Description

The purpose of the program is to reduce the morbidity and premature mortality associated with chronic diseases and to eliminate associated health disparities by supporting capacity building, program planning, development, implementation, evaluation, and surveillance for chronic disease conditions and chronic disease-related risk factors. This program addresses the Healthy People 2010 focus areas of Diabetes (focus area 5), Educational and Community-Based Programs (focus area 7), Public Health Infrastructure – Data and Information Systems (focus area 23), and Tobacco Use (focus area 27). This program also addresses the CDC goal of “Healthy People in Every Stage of Life” (“All people, and especially those at greater risk of health disparities, will achieve their optimal lifespan with the best possible quality of health in every stage of life.”) and “Healthy People in Healthy Places” (“The places where people live, work, learn, and play will protect and promote their health and safety, especially those at greater risk of health disparities.”).Activities and interventions funded under this program announcement should be evidence based and implemented in consultation with CDC. When preparing the application, applicants should avail themselves of technical assistance resources available from the program to ensure that evidence-based capacity building, surveillance and evaluation activities, intervention strategies, and the infrastructure to implement them are proposed for funding.
