Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA DP17 1704PPHF17
The grant opportunity titled "PPHF-2017-Building Public Health Infrastructure in Tribal Communities to Accelerate Disease Prevention and Health Promotion in Indian Country" (Funding Opportunity Number: CDC RFA DP17-1704PPHF17) is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cooperative agreement designed to strengthen public health capacity in American Indian and Alaska Native communities over a five-year project period. It is structured with one-year budget periods across the five years, meaning awardees are funded and monitored annually while working toward longer-term infrastructure and health improvement goals. The overall purpose is to build and reinforce the foundational public health systems needed to prevent chronic disease, promote health, and address other priority public health problems in Indian Country through improved leadership, data, planning, and coordinated action.
At its core, this opportunity focuses on public health infrastructure rather than a single disease program. The intent is to strengthen core public health functions within tribal communities and the organizations that serve them, including public health leadership and governance capacity, surveillance and epidemiology (such as collecting, analyzing, and using data to guide decisions), and the ability to design, implement, and evaluate public health programs. Awardees are also expected to provide technical support and training, not only to run programs but to build lasting competence in public health practice across their service areas. The grant emphasizes the need to address a wide range of public health priorities and to accelerate measurable improvements in health outcomes for American Indian and Alaska Native populations.
Eligibility is directed toward tribal entities and organizations that represent or serve at least 60,000 American Indians and Alaska Natives. Eligible applicants include federally recognized Native American tribal governments, Native American tribal organizations (including tribal epidemiology centers), urban Indian organizations, and intertribal consortia, with additional eligibility detail referenced in the full notice. This population threshold signals that the program is intended to support regional or area-wide infrastructure efforts with broad reach, rather than smaller, single-community projects. The program anticipates that awardees will function as regional public health leaders, helping coordinate strategy, data, training, and support across multiple communities or partners.
The CDC expects to fund about thirteen applicants, and this total includes a network coordinating center. The inclusion of a coordinating center indicates that the funded recipients are meant to operate as a connected network, sharing approaches, aligning methods, and strengthening collective capacity rather than working in isolation. The opportunity also explicitly calls for a culturally informed, holistic approach to disease prevention and population wellness, reflecting an expectation that funded work will be grounded in community context, values, and culturally responsive practices while still building modern public health systems and skills.
Administratively, the award is issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the CDC (NCCDPHP) under the Public Health Service Act authorities typical of CDC cooperative agreements, where CDC involvement is usually more active than in standard grants (for example, through collaboration, guidance, or technical assistance). The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding, with the activity category listed as Health and the CFDA number 93.762. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is listed as $1,450,000, and applications were originally due August 7, 2017, by 5:00 p.m. ET via electronic submission.
Overall, the grant is aimed at building durable public health infrastructure in tribal and tribally serving systems so they can better prevent chronic disease, promote health, and respond to priority public health challenges using stronger leadership, better data and epidemiology, more effective program design and evaluation, and sustained training and technical assistance. The long-term emphasis is on capacity that remains in place beyond any single initiative, enabling improved population health outcomes across large service areas in Indian Country.Apply for CDC RFA DP17 1704PPHF17
