Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA DP 23 0014
The Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health (REACH) grant is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) funding opportunity designed to help communities reduce chronic disease and close persistent health gaps affecting racial and ethnic populations that experience the highest burden. The program runs for five years and focuses on improving overall health outcomes by preventing chronic diseases and addressing the underlying conditions that contribute to unequal rates of illness and premature death. REACH specifically prioritizes work that benefits African Americans/Blacks, Hispanic/Latino populations, Asian Americans, Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islanders, American Indians, and Alaska Natives, with an emphasis on solutions that are culturally tailored and rooted in the realities of the communities being served.
A central goal of REACH is to support community-driven strategies that reduce key chronic disease risk factors. Funded recipients are expected to promote efforts that decrease tobacco use, improve nutrition, and increase physical activity. These strategies are meant to be practical and implementable in local settings, including neighborhoods, workplaces, schools, faith-based environments, and other community spaces where health behaviors are shaped. The grant also emphasizes the use of approaches that are already supported by evidence or strong practice experience, and it expects recipients to implement, evaluate, and share what works so successful methods can be expanded or replicated elsewhere.
REACH is also aimed at reducing disparities in major chronic conditions that disproportionately affect these populations, particularly hypertension, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and obesity. Rather than treating these conditions in isolation, the program encourages coordinated tobacco, nutrition, and physical activity collaborations that can change community environments and systems. This can include policy, systems, and environmental improvements that make healthy choices easier and more accessible, while also addressing barriers created by historical and structural inequities.
In addition to chronic disease prevention, the opportunity includes an immunization component. Funding can be used to strengthen community capacity to educate and promote the importance of immunizations among racial and ethnic minority populations. This aspect recognizes that trust, access, culturally relevant communication, and community messengers often play a major role in vaccine uptake, and it supports local efforts to improve awareness and acceptance using strategies that align with community values and needs.
Another major theme is connecting community and clinical efforts so individuals can more easily access health care and preventive services. REACH supports linking people to local preventive care programs and services within their community, which can involve building referral pathways, strengthening coordination between clinics and community-based organizations, and improving navigation support so residents can actually use available services. The intent is to make prevention and early intervention more reachable for people who might otherwise face obstacles such as cost, transportation, language barriers, limited clinic availability, or lack of culturally appropriate care.
The CDC is offering this opportunity as a cooperative agreement, meaning recipients should expect substantial involvement from CDC through technical assistance, guidance, and collaboration during implementation. Awards are intended for organizations that are ready to move quickly and effectively, with a demonstrated ability to manage and deliver locally tailored strategies. Applicants are expected to have a strong track record of working with an established community coalition focused on health or other disparities, and they must select interventions based on a community health needs assessment so the work is driven by documented local priorities rather than assumptions.
The opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA DP 23 0014; CFDA 93.304) is administered by the Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, specifically through NCCDPHP. Eligible applicants include a wide range of entities such as state, county, city, and special district governments; tribal governments and tribal organizations; public housing authorities; public and private institutions of higher education; nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status; small businesses; and other eligible entities as clarified in the official eligibility language. For fiscal year 2023, CDC anticipated making about 41 awards, with an award ceiling of $1,500,000. The application deadline for the original posting was April 11, 2023, with electronic submissions due by 11:59 pm Eastern Time.
Overall, REACH is structured to fund organizations that can demonstrate community trust and partnership, use data to choose strategies that fit local disparities, and implement evidence-based interventions that change real-world conditions driving chronic disease. The program is ultimately focused on measurable reductions in risk factors and chronic disease outcomes, while strengthening community systems and partnerships that sustain health improvements over time.Apply for CDC RFA DP 23 0014
