sector and public health through collaborative efforts with national 
organizations and their affiliated members. This program addresses the 
``Healthy People 2010'' focus areas of heart disease and stroke, 
immunization and infectious diseases, physical activity and fitness, 
nutrition and overweight, public health infrastructure, tobacco use and 
overarching disease prevention, health promotion and preparedness 
goals.
    Measurable outcomes of the program will be in alignment with one or 
more of the following performance goal(s) for the Division of Private 
and Public Partnerships: (a) Develops strategies and innovative 
solutions for the health care sector and CDC partners; (b) identifies 
and provides services, resources, and customer-specific materials; (c) 
create opportunities for collaboration with healthcare delivery system 
stakeholders and public health, including public health preparedness 
and communication.
    This announcement is only for non-research activities supported by 
CDC/ATSDR. If research is proposed, the application will not be 
reviewed. For the definition of research, please see the CDC web site 
at the following Internet address: https://www.cdc.gov/od/ads/
opspoll1.htm.
    Activities: Awardee activities for this program are as follows: 
Awardee will propose activities to address unrealized prevention and 
health promotion opportunities.

[[Page 40366]]

    The applicant must consider sub-populations affected by racial/
ethnic disparities in health status, risk factors and/or receipt of 
health services (Institute of Medicine, Unequal Treatment: Confronting 
Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Healthcare, 2002 and Unequal 
Treatment: What Healthcare Providers Need to Know about Racial and 
Ethnic Disparities in Health-Care, 2002).
    In addition applicants are encouraged to consider the unique needs 
of people in various stages of their lives, including children and 
adolescents.
    Applicants should specify if they are applying for Option A, Option 
B or both. Applicants who do not specify which option(s) of activities 
they intend to apply for will not be considered.

Option A--National Partnerships

    The objective of this Option is to foster partnerships between 
public health and national organizations representing the interests of 
health plans/insurers/health care delivery systems and organizations 
that focus on quality improvement. The activities in the Option should 
include:
     Using organizational resources to assist CDC in 
recognizing and understanding important emerging health systems trends 
that affect the public's health. Explore opportunities to use 
mechanisms such as accreditation, performance measurement, and 
financial incentives to improve health outcomes.
     Identify a focus on quality improvement through the above 
mechanisms.
     Develop case examples of effective health plan/health 
organization initiatives that utilize assessment tools (e.g., Health 
Risk Assessments/Appraisals etc.) to identify and stratify explicitly 
preventable health care conditions for a given beneficiary population. 
Using the information from these assessments coupled with other health 
information; describe promotion and deployment of innovative education/
coaching, incentive-based health behavior change programs, prevention-
oriented care/disease-management or similar strategies to reduce 
preventable disease burden and the associated health care costs in a 
beneficiary population. Identify programs that address CDC's Health 
Protection Goals for target areas. (https://www.cdc.gov/futures/Goals). 
Plan and execute a comprehensive plan to assess effectiveness of the 
outlined strategies.
     Propose conferences, meetings, seminars, or symposia that 
can be expected to have beneficial effects on health outcomes. CDC 
representatives will be part of the planning stage of these activities 
and as active participants in the final program.

Option B--Small-Scale Innovation Design and Evaluation

    Using health care organization processes, accreditation, or 
certification as a framework for developing new strategies, propose 
small-scale exploratory activities in a preferred provider or network 
setting that evaluate innovative system interventions to address 
unrealized prevention opportunities in populations, particularly sub-
populations affected by racial/ethnic disparities. Activities should 
incorporate at least one of the following:
     Innovative payment strategies;
     New methods of communicating prevention messages to 
consumers;
     Activities to increase consumer participation in shared 
decision-making for preventive care;
     Use of consumer ``health-coaches'';
     New accreditation strategies;
     Innovations in supporting information technology 
infrastructure in health care settings (e.g., develop innovative 
strategies to improve prevention messages and services using health 
information technology);
     New approaches for linkages of data (e.g., medical/
pharmacy/disability claims and health risk appraisal data);
     Novel incentive systems to improve prevention/health 
promotion; or,
     Community-based participatory models (e.g., community-
based health promotion/clinical practice model) as innovative 
strategies to improve clinical prevention practices.
    In a cooperative agreement, CDC staff is substantially involved in 
the program activities, above and beyond routine grant monitoring. CDC 
Activities for this program are as follows:
     Provide an updated list of CDC goals, priorities and 
mission; technical assistance; and monitoring of the progress of this 
cooperative agreement.
     Foster the formation and growth of national and regional 
public-private partnerships that support prevention research and 
evidence-based prevention practice.
     Assist with the development of conferences, meetings, 
seminars and symposia which explore and expand areas of commonality 
around prevention between public health and health care sectors.
