About this program
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Office on Smoking and Health funds legal technical assistance to tobacco control recipients under Assistance Listing 93.465, with the most recent grant opportunity posted July 29, 2020 and due March 1, 2021 (RFA-DP21-2103). The program awards one-time cooperative agreements structured for initial 12-month budget periods within an overall performance window of up to five years, subject to fund availability and recipient progress. Award winners may be continued non-competitively if performance is satisfactory and continuation serves federal interest.
The program funds public health law technical assistance and consultation delivered to CDC-funded National Tobacco Control Program (NTCP) recipients and their partners on questions related to identifying, developing, adopting, and implementing tobacco control policies and interventions. This ensures nationwide access to tobacco control-specific legal expertise to support evidence-based policy, systems, and environmental changes addressing youth initiation prevention, secondhand smoke exposure reduction, adult and youth quitting promotion, and tobacco-related health disparities. The technical assistance is designed to inform policy development and implementation but is not construed as replacement for recipients' own legal counsel.
The program operates as a cooperative agreement exclusively; the portfolio shows one award of $2,426,314.36 obligated to a single recipient as of June 30, 2016, completing June 29, 2022. No subsequent awards appear in the source. Eligible applicants include nonprofits (both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3)), higher education institutions, state and local governments, tribal governments and organizations, for-profit organizations, small businesses, and unrestricted applicants. Applicants must demonstrate deep institutional knowledge of U.S. tobacco control law and history, national capacity in tobacco control legal technical assistance, and must certify no present or historical ties to the tobacco industry.
The source provides no evidence of grant opportunities posted after March 1, 2021 or award activity subsequent to June 2016.
