Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA DP18 1811
Partner Actions to Improve Oral Health Outcomes (CDC RFA DP18 1811) is a five-year cooperative agreement from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (within HHS, NCCDPHP) designed to strengthen oral health promotion and disease prevention efforts across the United States. The program focuses on improving the capacity and performance of state and territorial oral health programs so they can more effectively prevent and control oral diseases and related conditions. The overarching public health goal is to reduce tooth decay (dental caries), narrow oral health disparities, and help address chronic diseases that commonly occur alongside poor oral health.
The opportunity is structured around two separate but related components, and applicants are allowed to apply for Component 1 only, Component 2 only, or both components together. This structure gives organizations flexibility to focus either on building foundational public health infrastructure and technical support for oral health programs, on advancing medical-dental integration efforts, or on delivering both types of support at the same time.
Component 1 centers on strengthening oral health program infrastructure and capacity, primarily by providing technical assistance and practical resources to states. Key activities include conducting state oral health program assessments and delivering capacity-building support that helps states improve planning, staffing, systems, and program effectiveness over the five-year project period. Component 1 also includes assessing and providing technical assistance to territorial oral health programs, but with an important limitation: funding for the territorial assessment and technical assistance strategy is only available in Year 1 of the period of performance. In contrast, funding aimed at state oral health infrastructure and ongoing capacity building is available in each year of the award, reflecting a longer-term emphasis on sustaining and improving state-level systems.
Component 2 is aimed at medical-dental integration, meaning practical strategies that connect oral health with other chronic disease prevention and management efforts. Under this component, the recipient partners with five programs selected under a related CDC funding opportunity (DP18-1810). The recipient provides technical assistance to these integration programs and gathers information that demonstrates what works, what is feasible, and what outcomes are associated with medical-dental integration approaches. In other words, Component 2 is not just about implementation support; it is also about documenting and sharing evidence on effective integration strategies so they can be replicated or scaled.
This NOFO replaces and builds on an earlier CDC initiative (DP13-1313, FY2013 to FY2018), continuing CDC investment while updating the focus to current priorities, including stronger cross-program integration with chronic disease efforts. The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically means CDC expects substantial involvement in the work through collaboration, guidance, and shared planning, rather than operating as a hands-off grantmaker.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary health funding opportunity (CFDA 93.446) with an anticipated maximum award amount (award ceiling) of $700,000 and an expectation of two total awards. Eligible applicants are broad and include various levels of government (state, county, city/township, special districts), public and private institutions of higher education, tribal governments and tribal organizations, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, nonprofit organizations (both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3)), for-profit organizations (including small businesses). The opportunity was originally posted April 30, 2018, with an application deadline of June 29, 2018, and required electronic submission by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date.
In practical terms, the award supports organizations that can operate as national or multi-jurisdictional partners to state and territorial oral health programs by delivering assessments, technical assistance, training, tools, and coordination support, while also helping selected sites integrate oral health into broader chronic disease prevention and care systems. The intended end result is stronger public health oral health infrastructure, better coordinated prevention strategies, and measurable improvements in population oral health outcomes, especially in communities that experience the greatest burden of disease and barriers to care.Apply for CDC RFA DP18 1811
