The New York State Department of Health (Department), Bureau of Community Chronic Disease Prevention (BCCDP), State Physical Activity and Nutrition (SPAN) Program seeks applications from organizations to implement a comprehensive, community-based participatory approach to increasing opportunities for physical activity and improved nutrition for people across the age span. Funded organizations will establish and expand local public health efforts to readily implement evidence-based physical activity and nutrition strategies that build on existing community assets and coalitions, allowing for the flexibility to tailor interventions that meet the unique needs of communities, and leverage resources from multiple stakeholders and sectors (e.g. early child care, local government, faith-based, business and industry, community recreation and parks, mass media, transportation, community planning and design, and education) in high-need communities of New York State (NYS). This approach supports and aligns with the New York State Department of Health Prevention Agenda (2019-2024) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) New York State Physical Activity and Nutrition Program (2018-2023). Under this Request for Applications (RFA), the Department intends to have statewide reach through 25 Creating Healthy Schools and Communities (CHSC) local-level grantees for Component A, in all five regions of the state. The Component B to this initiative seeks to award one statewide Physical Activity and Nutrition Center of Excellence (DOH01-CHSCB2-2020).

PLEASE NOTE: The Letter of Interest is not required; but it is strongly encouraged. Please see RFA for further information.

Questions are due December 31, 2019 and answers will be posted on or about January 20, 2020. Please see RFA for further information.
