Purpose/Summary

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announces the availability of funds for notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) DP-23-0020—A Strategic Approach to Advancing Health Equity for Priority Populations with or at Risk for Diabetes.  This NOFO seeks to decrease risk for 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 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.
