This FOA will support key evidence- and practice-based policy, environmental, programmatic and infrastructure changes, in small communities (populations less than 500,000), and tribes, including in rural and frontier areas, to achieve demonstrated progress in one or more the following five outcome measures outlined in the Affordable Care Act: 1) changes in weight, 2) changes in proper nutrition, 3) changes in physical activity, 4) changes in tobacco use prevalence, and 5) changes in emotional well-being and overall mental health, as well as other program-specific measures related to local CTIP performance monitoring and evaluation.
Recipients must measure and demonstrate changes in the outcome measures they choose to address.
Progress toward the grantee selected ACA outcome measures must be assessed during each year of funding.
A report describing the status of the selected measures addressed under this grant must be submitted to CDC in the first and second year of this grant award.
More specific goals within these broad goal areas will be provided in funding.
