PART 2. FULL TEXT
I. FUNDING OPPORTUNITY DESCRIPTION
Statutory Authority
This supplement is authorized under sections 301 and 317 of the Public Health Service Act (PHS Act), 42 USC, 241 and 247b as amended. Funding is appropriated under the Affordable Care Act (PL 111-148), Title IV, Section 4002 (Prevention and Public Health Fund) for expanded and sustained national investment in prevention and public health programs.
Background
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Office for State, Tribal, Local and Territorial Support, awarded $42.5M dollars in FY2010 in support of a National Public Health Improvement Initiative (NPHII) to systematically increase the capacity of public health departments in order to detect and respond to events requiring highly coordinated interventions to improve and/or sustain the performance (effectiveness) of interdependent public health organizations, systems, practices and essential services. This is a supplement to that award to allow Awardees to focus their efforts on accreditation readiness and related activities.
NPHII will increase the capacity and ability of health departments to meet national public health standards, such as those of the National Public Health Performance Standard Program ((http://www.cdc.gov/nphpsp), Public Health Accreditation Board (http://www.phaboard.org/), and/or Baldrige Criteria for Performance Excellence http://www.baldrige.nist.gov.
Purpose
The purpose of the program is to provide support for accelerating public health accreditation readiness activities; to provide additional support for performance management and improvement practices; and, for the development, identification and dissemination of evidence-based policies and practices (i.e., best and promising practices.).
This program supports the Healthy People 2020 focus area of addressing Public Health Infrastructure (http://www.healthypeople.gov/hp2020/). Cross-jurisdictional (state, local, tribal, territorial, regional, community, and border) collaborations are encouraged to increase the impact of limited resources, improve efficiency, and to leverage other related health reform efforts/projects.
Measurable outcomes of the program align with the following performance goals:
1) Increased efficiencies of program operations,
2) Increased use of evidence-based policies and practices, and,
3) Increased readiness for applying to and achieving accreditation by the Public Health Accreditation Board PHAB. (More information on accreditation activities can be found on the PHAB web site at http://www.phaboard.org/.
Program Implementation
Recipient Activities
Awardees are to complete work that continues their ongoing quality improvement activities and fosters readiness for accreditation in the following areas:
Implementation of relevant and essential activities to accelerate the agency’s readiness to apply; and in actually applying for and achieving national accreditation. Awardees shall select at least one or more of the following activities:
Development of a state/tribal/community health assessment.*
Progress toward collaborative state/tribal/community health improvement planning with system partners; development of a state/tribal/community health improvement plan.*

III. ELIGIBILITY INFORMATION
Eligible Applicants
Eligible applicants that can apply for this funding opportunity are the 76 official public health agencies that are current recipients of project grants for Strengthening Public Health Infrastructure for Improved Health Outcomes under Funding Opportunity Number: CDC-RFA-CD10-1011. These applicants have the necessary infrastructure in place to perform the activities required and have the experience needed to successfully complete the required functions.
Required Registrations
Registering your organization through www.Grants.gov, the official agency-wide E-grant website, is the first step in submitting an application online. Registration information is located on the “Get Registered” screen of www.Grants.gov. Please visit www.Grants.gov at least 30 days prior to submitting your application to familiarize yourself with the registration and submission processes. The “one-time” registration process will take three to five days to complete. However, the Grants.gov registration process also requires that you register your organization with the Central Contractor Registry (CCR). The CCR registration can require an additional one to two days to complete. You are required to maintain a current registration in CCR.
Central Contractor Registration and Universal Identifier Requirements
All applicant organizations must obtain a DUN and Bradstreet (D&B) Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number as the Universal Identifier when applying for Federal grants or cooperative agreements. The DUNS number is a nine-digit number assigned by Dun and Bradstreet Information Services. An AOR should be consulted to determine the appropriate number. If the organization does not have a DUNS number, an AOR should complete the US D&B D-U-N-S Number Request Form or contact Dun and Bradstreet by telephone directly at 1-866-705-5711 (toll-free) to obtain one. A DUNS number will be provided immediately by telephone at no charge. Note this is an organizational number. Individual Program Directors/Principal Investigators do not need to register for a DUNS number.
Additionally, all applicant organizations must register in the Central Contractor Registry (CCR) and maintain the registration with current information at all times during which it has an application under consideration for funding by CDC and, if an award is made, until a final financial report is submitted or the final payment is received, whichever is later. CCR is the primary registrant database for the Federal government and is the repository into which an entity must provide information required for the conduct of business as a recipient. Additional information about registration procedures may be found at the CCR internet site at www.ccr.gov.
If an award is granted, the grantee organization must notify potential sub-recipients that no organization may receive a subaward under the grant unless the organization has provided its DUNS number to the grantee organization.
Cost Sharing or Matching
Cost sharing or matching funds are not required for this program.
