SUMMARY: HRSA announces the award of a supplement in the amount of
$300,000 for the Children's Healthy Weight Collaborative Improvement
and Innovation (CoIIN) cooperative agreement. The supplement will
permit the Association of State Territorial Public Health Nutrition

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Intended Recipient of Award: Association of State and Territorial
Public Health Nutrition Directors.
Amount of the Non-Competitive Award: $300,000.
Period of Supplemental Funding: 9/1/2019-08/31/2020.
CFDA Number: 93.110.
Authority: Social Security Act, Title V, Sec. 501(a)(2) (42 U.S.C.
701(a)(2)).
Justification: The purpose of the Children's Healthy Weight CoIIN
is to increase the proportion of children and young adults ages birth
to 21 years who fall within a healthy weight range by supporting states
to adopt evidence-based or evidence-informed policies and practices
related to nutrition, physical activity, and breastfeeding to help
states address the National Performance Measures and National Outcome
Measure related to healthy weight. To support states, the Children's
Healthy Weight CoIIN has established state-based teams to engage in
collaborative learning and test evidence-based strategies; the
recipient currently supports 12 state teams, across 13 unique states.
State teamwork addresses identified state Title V priorities while
supporting underserved communities, including communities at higher
risk for childhood obesity. HRSA is awarding these funds as a
supplement to the previous award, for the collection of additional data
from states and a robust evaluation of their approach to prevent
childhood obesity. The supplement of an additional year of funding will
allow the recipient to collect and analyze data on state projects that
will be implemented this year and evaluate the collective impact of the
Children's Healthy Weight CoIIN on maternal and child health outcomes,
helping to identify the most effective ways for HRSA to address
childhood obesity and inform future activities related to nutrition and
obesity.
