Executive Summary:

CDC announces a supplemental funding opportunity for the 26 national, nonprofit organizations that previously were awarded under the CDC-RFA-OT13-1302 FOA: "Building Capacity of the Public Health System to Improve Population Health through National, Nonprofit Organizations." The 26 grantees are eligible to submit applications for new FY17 CIO Project Plans according to the Target Population Category (A, B, or C) for which they received initial funding in FY2013. This supplemental funding opportunity permits awardees to strengthen the public health infrastructure and improve the performance of governmental and nongovernmental components of the public health system. Public health system refers to "activities undertaken within the formal structure of government and the associated efforts of private and voluntary organizations and individuals" (Institute of Medicine, 1988). The purposeof this new supplemental FOA is to ensure provision of capacity-building assistance (CBA) to optimize the quality and performance of public health systems, workforce, data and information systems, evidence-based practices and services, partnerships, and resources. CBA is defined as the development and strengthening of human and organizational resources and systems. It involves enhancing the performance of functions, problem-solving, and achievement of objectives at individual, institutional and societal levels. It encompasses activities such as technical assistance, training, information sharing, technology transfer, materials development, or funding that enables an organization to better serve its population or to operate in a more comprehensive, responsive, and effective manner.

This supplemental FOA provides funding for CBA activities with target populations under three headings: Category A: Governmental Public Health Departments; Category B: Workforce Segments across Governmental Public Health Departments; and Category C: Other Governmental and Nongovernmental Public Health Components. The applicant's CBA program is expected to demonstrate measurable progress among governmental and nongovernmental components of the public health system towards two or more of the following outcomes: 1) increased adoption of new or proven business improvements leading to management and administrative efficiencies or cost savings; 2) increased availability and accessibility of continuing education and training focused on public health competencies and new skills, including the use of experience-based internships and fellowships; 3) increased incorporation of core public health competencies into employee position descriptions and performance evaluations; 4) increased integration of state-of-the-art technology into data collection and information systems; 5) increased implementation of evidence-based public health programs, policies, and services; 6) improved capacity to meet nationally established standards, such as those for health department accreditation; 7) establishment and maintenance of diverse public health partnerships for meaningful cooperation and achievement of evidence-based public health strategies and interventions, such as the CDC Winnable Battles; and 8) improved quality, availability, and accessibility of public health education materials, training, and evaluation tools and resources.

Measurable outcomes of the program will be in alignment with one (or more) of the following performance goal(s) for the OSTLTS:

Increase state, tribal, local and territorial public health agencies' capacity to more efficiently and effectively manage and deliver high quality programs and services to protect the public's health

Increase the infusion of public health knowledge across governmental and non-governmental components of the public health system

This announcement is only for non-research activities supported by CDC. If research is proposed, the application will not be reviewed. For the definition of research, please see the CDC Web site at the following Internet address: http://www.cdc.gov/od/science/integrity/docs /cdc-policy-distinguishing-public-health-research-nonresearch.pdf.

Part 2. Full Text Section I. Funding Opportunity Description

Statutory Authority This program is authorized under sections 307 and 317(k)(2) of the Public Health Service Act [42 USC 242(l) and 247(b)(k)(2), as amended]. In addition, this program is authorized under sections 311 and 1703 of Public Health Service Act [42 USC 243 and 300 u-2, as amended] and Section 4002 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Public Law 111-148.

Background In 1988, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) published a landmark report, The Future of Public Health, describing the dire state of public health infrastructure across the United States. It was the first national report to call attention to the need to address America's fragmented and seriously underfunded public health system. Although the report acknowledges the multiple stakeholders engaged in the public health enterprise, its recommendations primarily focused on strengthening governmental public health departments as they represent the mainstay of the http://www.cdc.gov/od/science/integrity/docs/cdc-policy-distinguishing-public-health-research-nonresearch.pdf http://www.cdc.gov/od/science/integrity/docs/cdc-policy-distinguishing-public-health-research-nonresearch.pdf public health system.

The call for a transformed, invigorated public health system continues into the 21st century, as the challenges for governmental public health have not ceased (IOM, 2012a, 2011; Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, 2012; Trust for America's Health, 2008). Challenges such as economic recessions, persistently underfinanced and fragmented public health infrastructure, and the shifting public health needs threaten governmental public health's capacity to achieve the recommended transformation and address the broad health and safety needs of the American public. These challenges also weaken its capacity to: 1) meet the ambitious Healthy People 2020 and National Prevention Strategy goals; 2) effectively perform the ten essential public health services; and 3) address the nation's future health challenges, such as rising health care costs and the health needs of a growing older adult population). Such challenges demonstrates the urgency of improving performance, accountability, and value of America's governmental public health and the overall public health system. In addition, public health will benefit from effective integration with primary care in areas such as community engagement, aligned leadership that bridges disciplines and jurisdictions, sustainability by establishing a shared infrastructure, and sharing and collaborative use of data and analysis. A robust program that adequately invests in capacity building assistance will contribute significantly in transforming the public health system and its various components to cover a broad range of challenges and needs. In general, CBA activities are expected to result in an increase in the quality, quantity, efficiencies, and/or cost effectiveness of public health services and related outcomes, and ultimately in public health improvement.

For the purpose of this supplemental FOA, the public health system refers to "activities undertaken within the formal structure of government and the associated efforts of private and voluntary organizations and individuals" (IOM, 1988). Specifically, the purpose of this program is to ensure the provision of CBA to optimize the quality and performance of public health systems, the public health workforce, public health data and information systems, public health practice and services, public health partnerships, and public health resources. In addition, capacity building assistance is defined as the development and strengthening of human and organizational resources and systems. It involves enhancing the performance of functions, problem-solving, and achievement of objectives at individual, institutional and societal levels.

CBA encompasses activities such as technical assistance, training, information sharing, technology transfer, materials development, or funding that enables an organization to better serve its population or to operate in a more comprehensive, responsive, and effective manner.

Capacity building is expected to assist governmental and nongovernmental public health in fulfilling the mission of protecting and promoting health in their communities and effectively performing essential public health services.

The supplemental FOA provides funding for CBA activities with target populations under three headings: Category A: Governmental Public Health Departments; Category B: Workforce Segments across Governmental Public Health Departments; and Category C: Other Governmental and Nongovernmental Public Health Components. The applicant's CBA program is expected to demonstrate measurable progress among governmental and nongovernmental components of the public health system towards two or more of the following outcomes: 1) increased adoption of new or proven business improvements leading to management and administrative efficiencies or cost savings; 2) increased availability and accessibility of continuing education and training focused on public health competencies and new skills, including the use of experience-based internships and fellowships; 3) increased incorporation of core public health competencies into employee position descriptions and performance evaluations; 4) increased integration of state-of-the-art technology into data collection and information systems; 5) increased implementation of evidence-based public health programs, policies, and services; 6) improved capacity to meet nationally established standards, such as those for health department accreditation; 7) establishment and maintenance of diverse public health partnerships for meaningful cooperation and achievement of evidence-based public health strategies and interventions, such as the CDC Winnable Battles; and 8) improved quality, availability, and accessibility of public health education materials, training, and evaluation tools and resources.

The capacity building strategies and related activities represent major national recommendations. The strategies are also based on the CDC Office for State, Tribal, Local, and Territorial Support's priorities, program experiences, and evidence-based recommendations from national reports published by federal councils and national public health organizations:

U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Healthy People 2020, IOM, and the National Prevention Strategy. These capacity-building program strategies and related activities are designed to position components of the public health system to fulfill their mission in protecting and promoting population health in the United States, United States territories, and Tribal nations. Applicants may propose to address one or more of the six program strategies and identifying corresponding activities. The activities should be proposed on the basis of the priority needs of the target population: 1) Public Health Systems and Organizational Improvement; 2) Public Health Workforce; 3) Public Health Data and Information Systems; 4) Public Health Practice and Services; 5) Public Health Partnerships; and 6) Public Health Resources, Communication and Evaluation.

Purpose The purpose of this supplemental FOA is to ensure the provision of capacity building assistance (CBA) for governmental and nongovernmental components of the public health system to optimize the quality and performance of public health systems, the public health workforce, public health data and information systems, public health practice and services, public health partnerships, and public health resources. This supplemental FOA addresses the "Healthy People 2020" focus area of Public Health Infrastructure. Infrastructure is the foundation for planning, delivering, and evaluating public health, which is why "Healthy People 2020" establishes goals to ensure that all governmental public health departments have the necessary infrastructure to provide essential public health services in an effective manner (U.S.

Department of Health and Human Services, 2011). It also addresses Topic Area Preparedness:

To improve the Nation’s ability to prevent, prepare for, respond to, and recover from a major health incident.

Only the 26 national, nonprofit organizations that were previously awarded under the CDC- RFA-OT13-1302 FOA: "Building Capacity of the Public Health System to Improve Population Health through National, Nonprofit Organizations" are eligible to submit applications under this Funding Opportunity Announcement, CDC-RFA-OT13-13020502SUPP17.
