The purpose of this non-research Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), State Promotion of Strategies to Advance Oral Health (CDC-RFA-DP24-0048), is to prioritize populations of focus defined as groups experiencing persistent health disparities and inequities. Recipients will increase access to evidence-based preventive dental services; increase access to optimal community water fluoridation; improve oral health and chronic disease surveillance using secondary data sources to describe oral health trends; and increase awareness of infection prevention and control guidelines in traditional (private practice) and non-traditional settings (clinics, mobile units, school sealant programs). The NOFO is a 3-year cooperative agreement supported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Applications for the NOFO must be submitted by May 28, 2024.

Framework for Program Evaluation in Public Health
Effective program evaluation is a systematic way to improve and account for public health actions by involving procedures that are useful, feasible, ethical, and accurate. The framework, developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guides public health professionals in their use of program evaluation. It is a practical, nonprescriptive tool, designed to summarize and organize essential elements of program evaluation.
A logic model is a graphic depiction (road map) that presents the shared relationships among the resources, activities, outputs, outcomes, and impact for your program. It depicts the relationship between your program’s activities and its intended effects.
