Request for Information (RFI) for Louisiana’s Application for ARRA Communities Putting Prevention to Work (CPPW) Funding
November 2nd, 2009
*Note: The deadline for RFI submissions has passed. LPHI is in the process of reviewing submissions and wishes to thank all communities that responded.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has published a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) entitled, “American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009: Communities Putting Prevention to Work.” Approximately $373 million will be available in fiscal year 2009 to fund thirty to forty awards nationally. The purpose of this FOA is to create healthier communities through sustainable, proven, population-based approaches such as broad-based policy, systems, organizational and environmental changes in communities and schools.
The complete announcement is available for viewing at: FOA - CDC‐RFA‐DP09‐912ARRA09, American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 –Communities Putting Prevention to Work (CPPW)
The Louisiana Public Health Institute (LPHI) will serve as the state’s designated entity to apply for this funding as a State Coordinated Small City/Rural Area applicant. The FOA requires the state pre-select two communities to become a part of the state’s application for these funds. Therefore, responses to the Request for Information (RFI) below are being accepted from communities with populations under 500,000 to serve as one of the two communities possibly funded as pilot communities under this announcement. Each community must have an established community coalition and will be monitored for progress toward benchmarks, performance measures, and outcomes.
