Proposed Project

    Communities Putting Prevention to Work (OMB No. 0920-0820 Exp. 12/
31/2009)--Reinstatement with Changes--National Center for Chronic 
Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease 
Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 was designed to 
stimulate economic recovery in various ways, including preserving and 
creating jobs, assisting those most impacted by the recession, 
stabilizing State and local government budgets, strengthening the 
Nation's healthcare infrastructure, and reducing healthcare costs 
through prevention activities. The Recovery Act included $650 million 
for evidence-based clinical and community-based prevention and wellness 
strategies that support specific, measurable health outcomes to reduce 
chronic disease rates. The legislation provides an important 
opportunity for states, cities, rural areas, and tribes to advance 
public health across the lifespan and to reduce health disparities.
    In the Fall of 2009, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 
(CDC) announced funding opportunities under the ARRA-funded Communities 
Putting Prevention to Work (CPPW) initiative, and received OMB approval 
to collect information from applicants that assisted reviewers in 
determining the applicants' eligibility for awards (OMB No. 0920-0820, 
exp. 12/31/2009). This approval was received on an emergency basis and 
expired 12/31/2009. CDC seeks to reinstate this clearance in 2010, with 
changes, to support additional competitions for ARRA-funded 
supplemental awards. The new competitions will identify meritorious 
proposals for community mentoring activities that build upon activities 
previously described in RFA DP09-912, Community Approaches to Chronic 
Disease Prevention and Control, and state-specific behavioral risk 
factor surveillance activities described in RFA DP0-901, Healthy 
Communities, Tobacco Control, Diabetes Prevention and Control, and 
Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance. The CPPW initiative is managed by 
the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion 
(NCCDPHP).
    The CPPW initiative is designed to support intensive community 
approaches to chronic disease prevention and control in selected 
communities. Activities should be designed to achieve progress toward 
the following prevention outcomes: increased levels of physical 
activity; improved nutrition (e.g., increased fruit/vegetable 
consumption, reduced consumption of salt and transfats); decreased 
prevalence of overweight/obesity prevalence; decreased smoking 
prevalence and decreased teen smoking initiation; and decreased 
exposure to secondhand smoke. Respondents will be health departments 
representing States, territories, the District of Columbia, and Tribal 
communities.
    CDC estimates that a total of 80 applications will be collected in 
2010. The information submitted by respondents to CDC will be used to 
assure eligibility for CPPW awards and to determine optimal utilization 
of funding. All information will be collected electronically through 
the Grants.gov portal. Participation is voluntary and there are no 
costs to respondents other than their time.
