About this program

The Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and Prevention awards Cooperative Agreements under CFDA 93.535 to fund integrated primary care and public health interventions reducing obesity risk factors in underserved children, with the most recent grant award issued on June 1, 2016.

This program has been dormant since 2016. Six total Cooperative Agreements worth $30.6 million in combined federal obligations were awarded between 2011 and 2016, with four awards issued in September 2011 and two in June 2016. No grant awards have been disbursed in the past decade. All six awards were Cooperative Agreements structured as U18 demonstration projects.

Funded projects combine clinical care, community-based interventions, and policy or systems change targeting low-income children ages 2–12 years with obesity or overweight status with cardiometabolic risk factors. Recent awards exemplify the portfolio: the Massachusetts Department of Public Health implemented clinical-community weight management linking pediatric primary care, electronic health record screening, e-referrals, healthy weight clinics, and YMCA programming ($3.3 million, awarded June 2016); an individually tailored family-centered intervention delivered through pediatric primary care, home, and community settings using an adaptation of the Family Check-Up model ($3.5 million, awarded June 2016); earlier awards tested systems approaches and ecological frameworks for obesity prevention in Texas and Imperial County ($6.7 million and $6.6 million respectively, awarded September 2011).

The Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and Prevention funded all six awards, accounting for $24 million (78 percent of federal dollars obligated). The remaining two funding agencies, also within HHS, accounted for $6.6 million combined.

The most recent solicitation posted was RFA-DP-16-004 (Childhood Obesity Research Demonstration 2.0), posted November 20, 2015, with a due date of January 29, 2016. That opportunity sought Cooperative Agreements to implement and evaluate electronic health record-based, family-centered weight management programs for low-income children enrolled in or eligible for CHIP or Medicaid, with broad applicant eligibility including state and local governments, tribal entities, nonprofits, and for-profit organizations. No opportunities currently appear open under this program.
