About this program
The Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) funds chronic disease research, control, and prevention initiatives under Assistance Listing 93.068, with the most recent award disbursed on June 28, 2025.
This program supports state and local health agencies, nonprofits, tribal governments, universities, and other organizations implementing evidence-based strategies to prevent and control chronic diseases—particularly diabetes, cardiovascular disease, tobacco-related conditions, and oral health disparities. Awards fund community-based interventions, prediabetes and diabetes prevention programs, tobacco cessation and control initiatives, quitline operations, health systems strengthening, and data-driven approaches addressing social determinants of health. Recipients conduct prevention case management, establish community-clinical linkages, implement policy and environmental changes, and provide training and technical assistance to partner organizations and state programs.
The program awarded 117 grants over nearly two decades, with recent activity showing 26 awards in 2020, declining to 2 awards in 2025, though activity in 2023 and 2024 totaled 24 awards. CDC dominated all funding, obligating $731.9 million across 73 awards; two additional CDC divisions contributed $37.2 million (37 awards) and $16 million (7 awards). The assistance type mix is predominantly Cooperative Agreements (92% of 108 awards) with a smaller Block Grant component (8% of 9 awards). Combined federal and total dollars obligated reached $785.1 million and $787 million respectively, indicating minimal cost-share from recipients.
Representative recent awards include: American Samoa Department of Health ($298,525) strengthening diabetes prevention and management; Puerto Rico Department of Health ($2.5 million) preventing chronic disease and oral health disparities; North American Quitline Consortium ($2.4 million) enhancing tobacco cessation training; and multiple tribal and community-based organizations ($800 thousand to $3.2 million each) implementing culturally adapted chronic disease prevention using a "culture-first approach" in Indian Country and urban Indigenous settings.
No current grant opportunities are open under this Assistance Listing. The most recent posted opportunity was the CDC RFA-DP-25-038 for epilepsy incidence research among children (due January 23, 2025), which addresses a related but distinct chronic disease surveillance mission.
