Expanding Capacity for Chronic Disease Education and Awareness is a competitive 3-year grant program to expand and advance CDC’s National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP) work with partners to focus on education, outreach, and public awareness activities of a chronic disease that are not currently funded by a direct CDC and/or NCCDPHP FY24 appropriations line. This program will address implementation strategies and activities that have the potential to strengthen the science base for prevention, education, and public health awareness that could lead to evidence-based public health interventions to make meaningful improvements in patient outcomes for the proposed chronic disease. Recipients will enhance NCCDPHP’s public health impact by implementing the following strategies related to their proposed chronic disease: 1) Data dissemination activities that support awareness for public health professionals; 2) Develop survey tools to fill data gaps 3) Educational activities supporting public awareness; and 4) Educational activities supporting health professional screening, referral, and treatment and/or management. Collecting and disseminating reliable information on the impacts of chronic diseases is necessary to shape effective, evidence-based clinical and population-level education and awareness approaches for public health impact and health equity
