DP-23-0015: CDC’s National Networks Driving Action: Preventing Tobacco- and Cancer-Related Health Disparities by Building Equitable Communities

CDC-RFA-DP-23-0015: CDC’s National Networks Driving Action: Preventing Tobacco- and Cancer-Related Health Disparities by Building Equitable Communities supports a consortium of national organizations to advance the prevention of commercial tobacco use and cancer in populations experiencing tobacco- and cancer-related health disparities.

The consortium is jointly funded by CDC’s Office on Smoking and Health and Division of Cancer Prevention and Control. It is intended to enhance the quality and performance of specific public health programs, data and information systems, practice and services, partnerships, and resources that focus on tobacco- and cancer-related health disparities among populations disproportionately impacted by tobacco industry marketing tactics and higher cancer incidence/death rates. The NOFO seeks to increase equitable delivery of tobacco prevention strategies and related interventions to advance health equity by addressing social determinants of health.

This partnership provides leadership on and promotion of evidence-based approaches for preventing commercial tobacco use and cancer. Strategies and activities will focus on—

1. Network administration and management.
2. Establishing, administering, and managing a virtual/hybrid Community of Practice that focuses on the Social Determinants of Health (SDOH).
3. Training and technical assistance in the implementation of evidence-based/promising practice-based policy, systems, and environmental change interventions focused on commercial tobacco- and cancer-related health disparities and upstream, cross-sectorial SDOH.
4. Supporting mass reach health communication efforts.
