• Nonprofit with 501C3 IRS status (other than institution of higher education) • Nonprofit without 501C3 IRS status (other than institution of higher education) • Nonprofit organizations recognized by US affiliated jurisdictions • For-profit organizations (other than small business) • Small, minority, and women-owned businesses • Community-based organizations • Faith-based organizations • American Indian/Alaska Native tribally designated organizations • Urban Indian health organizations • Tribal epidemiology centers As stated in the “Background” section above (p 4), differences in diabetes-related burden exist across particular subgroups of the population, including older adults, certain racial and ethnic minority groups, low socioeconomic status (SES) populations and regions, rural populations, and women. The purpose of this initiative is to fund organizations that will support the efforts of DDT’s National Diabetes Prevention and Control Program to effectively address diabetes-related health disparities in these vulnerable populations, using an approach that mitigates the impact of the social determinants of health. The Division of Diabetes Translation already has in place separate cooperative agreement funding programs designated specifically for state/territory health departments (DPCPs) and for tribes (NDWP). The newly available funds under CDC-RFA DP10-1001 are intended to fund other types of organizations that have specialized knowledge and expertise about and access to particular vulnerable populations and the capacity to reach these groups through their relationships with communities and regions where these populations are located. Categories of eligible applicant organizations have been selected based on their capacity to mobilize communities, inform, educate, and advocate on behalf of these populations, and provide support/assistance in the development, implementation, and evaluation of targeted interventions to multiple communities in a region, using a population-based non-research approach, and to contribute to replication and dissemination of successful efforts through participation in a learning community. Grantees will be expected to coordinate and collaborate with the NDEP, DPCPs and NDWP grantees, as appropriate, in order to carry out their activities.

Grant Description

The purpose of the program is to reduce morbidity, premature mortality, and eliminate health disparities associated with diabetes. This will be done by funding organizations to mobilize community partners and assist them to effectively plan, develop, implement, and evaluate community-based interventions to reduce the risk factors that influence the disproportionate burden of diabetes in vulnerable populations borne by many communities in regions across the country. This program is intended to fund organizations that can strengthen the reach and impact of CDC’s Division of Diabetes Translation (DDT)’s National Diabetes Prevention and Control Program to address diabetes-related health disparities by complementing other ongoing programs funded through the Division, including the state/territory Diabetes Prevention and Control Programs (DPCPs)
