The NOFO contains 3 components: A, B, and C. Applicants may apply for only 1 component. Applications will be considered non-responsive and will receive no further review if the following criteria are not met: All applicants must identify the component they are applying for in the project abstract. If the applicant does not identify the component in the project abstract, the application will be deemed non-responsive. If an applicant applies for more than 1 component, both applications will be considered non-responsive. All applications must contain a Table of contents, a Project Abstract, a Project Narrative (including work plan), and a Budget Narrative. Applications submitted without these documents will be considered non-responsive. Component A Applicants: Must be physically located in the state or district they are proposing to serve. Applicants must identify the state or district they are proposing to serve along with their physical address in the project abstract. If this information is not identified in the project abstract, the application will be deemed non-responsive and will not receive further review. Component B Applicants: Applicants’ proposed work must be in one or more of the “high need” counties identified on the list available at: https://www.cdc.gov/diabetes/funding-opportunity/NOFO-CDC-RFA-DP23-0020.html.that, together, comprise a population of at least 350,000* people. Applicants must identify the high-need county(s)* and population(s) from the provided list in the project abstract. If this information is not identified in the project abstract, the application will be deemed non-responsive and will not receive further review. *Note that 350,000 people was determined to be a minimum reach for work in Component B, given the projected award amounts and the estimated number of people with and at risk for diabetes who will need to be reached in order to achieve substantive participation in the National DPP lifestyle intervention, DSMES, and related programs/services addressed in the NOFO strategies. **“High need” counties were defined by CDC using a formula based on disproportionate diabetes burden (diabetes prevalence > 8.4% and incidence > 9.6 per 1,000 people), a disproportionate number of persons at risk for type 2 diabetes (obesity prevalence > 28.3%), and a disproportionate level of social needs as defined by a social vulnerability index of > 0.5.).

## What the grant funds

This notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) seeks to prevent or delay onset of type 2 diabetes among adults with prediabetes and improve self-care practices, quality of care, and early detection of complications among people with diabetes. Additionally, this NOFO will support implementation of evidence-based, family-centered childhood obesity interventions as a type 2 diabetes risk reduction strategy. All work supported under this NOFO will focus on reducing health disparities and achieving health equity for priority populations*, defined as those who have systematically experienced greater obstacles to health based on their racial or ethnic group; religion; socioeconomic status; gender; age; mental health; cognitive, sensory, or physical disability; sexual orientation or gender identity; geographic location; or other characteristics historically linked to discrimination or exclusion. The NOFO contains 3 components: A, B, and C. Applicants may apply for only 1 component. Component A: Statewide Evidence-based Approaches to Diabetes Management and Type 2 Diabetes Prevention Component A will fund 1 organization in each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia (D.C.) to implement and evaluate work on a menu of evidence-based strategies. These strategies aim to decrease risk for type 2 diabetes among adults with prediabetes or at high risk for type 2 diabetes; improve self-care practices, quality of care, and early detection of complications among priority populations* with diabetes; and support implementation of evidence-based, family-centered childhood obesity interventions as a type 2 diabetes risk reduction strategy. Applicants will select a minimum of 6 of 13 strategies provided on a menu and must include one or both of the following strategies among their selections. Strengthen self-care practices by improving equitable access, appropriateness, and/or feasibility of diabetes self-management education and support (DSMES) services. Increase enrollment and retention of priority populations* in the National Diabetes Prevention Program (National DPP) lifestyle intervention by improving equitable access, appropriateness, and/or feasibility of the program. Applicants must have a physical location in the state they are applying to serve, or in D.C. if applying to serve the District of Columbia.
