Fiscal Year 2008: No Current Data Available Fiscal Year 2009: No Current Data Available Fiscal Year 2010: In fiscal year 2010, projected to issue 53 awards to reduce Chronic Disease risk

factors, prevent and delay chronic disease, promote wellness, and better manage

chronic conditions. This initiative will address the following:

• Increased levels of physical activity

• Improved nutrition (e.g. increased fruit/vegetable consumption, reduced
salt and transfats);

• Decreased smoking prevalence and decreased teen smoking initiation; and

• Decreased exposure to secondhand smoke.

• Expand National Network of Tobacco Quitlines.

Uses and Use Restrictions

Of the $650 million, $128.1 million will support States and Territories in
promoting wellness and preventing chronic disease through state-wide and local policy and environmental change for chronic disease prevention and to expand tobacco quit lines and tobacco counter advertising.

This program will support evidence-based policies and interventions at the state and local levels which ultimately help change social norms and make healthier choices easier and more affordable.

Programs will focus on policy and environmental changes that both improve statewide policies and support community efforts for chronic disease prevention and control described in Section "0.50" above.

The use of and use restrictions are as follows: • Recipients may only expend funds for reasonable program purposes, including personnel, travel, supplies, and services, such as contractual to support policy and system changes to reduce chronic disease risk factors, prevent and delay chronic disease, promote wellness, and better manage chronic conditions in the following areas; to increased levels of physical activity, improved nutrition (e.g.

increased fruit/vegetable consumption, reduced salt and transfats); decreased smoking prevalence and decreased teen smoking initiation; and to decreased exposure to secondhand smoke.

• To support a core infrastructure for the delivery of quitline services which include proactive counseling and promotion/outreach.

Proactive quitlines exist when a trained counselor telephones the smokers to provide support in initiating a quit attempt and maintaining prolonged abstinence.

• Funds may be used to expand and promote proactive counseling capacity, enhance and expand integration of online and other electronic information support technologies, expand media and marketing efforts, extend hours of service, expand outreach to specific populations, provide multiple language services, increase collaborations with healthcare systems and providers, and for evaluation.

• Purchase of Nicotine Replacement Therapy medications is authorized with these funds.

FDA-approved Nicotine Replacement Therapy (e.g., nicotine patch, gum, nasal spray, inhaler, and lozenge) is proven effective in helping people quit smoking.

• Recipients may not use funds for research.

• Recipients may not use funds for clinical care.

• Recipients may not generally use HHS/CDC/ATSDR funding for the purchase of furniture or equipment.

Any such proposed spending must be identified in the budget.

• The recipient must perform a substantial role in carrying out project objectives and not merely serve as a conduit for an award to another party or provider who is ineligible.

• Recipients may not spend more than 10 percent of the total award on nicotine replacement therapy.
