About this opportunity
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is soliciting applications for the Great Health for America cooperative agreement to fund community-driven demonstration projects reducing chronic disease rates in children across four designated communities—Lake County, Indiana; Sandusky and Toledo metro area, Ohio; Brownsville, Texas; and Petersburg, Virginia—with applications due August 3, 2026. No cost share is required, though voluntary commitments will be included in awards if offered.
Eligible applicants include state and local governments, tribal organizations (federally recognized and non-federally recognized), nonprofits (501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3)), institutions of higher education (public and private), for-profit organizations, special district governments, independent school districts, city and township governments, county governments, and public or Indian housing authorities. Applicants may submit only one application per site and must demonstrate meaningful established presence and relationships in their target community, prior experience implementing health interventions in that specific community, administrative and financial management capacity, technical expertise in chronic disease prevention, and adequate staffing.
Four awards of approximately $8 million per recipient over two years ($4 million per 12-month budget period) are anticipated from a total program budget of $32 million. The expected award date is August 31, 2026, with project start September 30, 2026.
Recipients will implement five core strategies: community engagement and coalition building, community health assessment and priority setting, data infrastructure and dashboard development, evidence-based intervention implementation, and evaluation with continuous quality improvement. Applicants must allocate approximately 5–10 percent of project funding to monitoring, reporting, and evaluation activities and provide bi-weekly dashboard updates to HHS and CDC. A preliminary Data Management Plan is required at application submission and must be finalized within 30 days of award. Equipment purchases are allowable; land and real property purchases are prohibited.
The program is listed under CFDA 93.809 (National Organizations for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion).
Synopsis
In collaboration with U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), state and federally funded programs, you will implement a project focused on reducing chronic disease rates within a defined geographic area within four communities: Lake County, Indiana; Sandusky and Toledo metro area, Ohio; Brownsville, Texas; Petersburg, Virginia. The goal is to demonstrate how individual and system-level interventions can encourage healthier habits and choices that can reduce the burden of chronic disease in children. When these lifestyle and community changes are maintained over time, reductions in the burden of chronic diseases among adults in the United States may eventually result.Findings from these demonstration programs will inform the potential replication of successful interventions in additional communities.Additionally, HHS will use findings from this demonstration project to inform future approaches to funding and measuring effects of novel efforts to improve health for individuals and communities.
