In Fiscal Year 2007, NPAO funded 21 “capacity-building” states to do the following:
- Establish state infrastructure;
- Plan obesity prevention and control efforts;
- Identify data sources to monitor the burden of obesity;
- Collaborate and coordinate with public and private partners; and
- Begin implementing interventions.
In addition, seven “basic implementation” states were funded to do the following:
- Implement a comprehensive nutrition and physical activity state plan to prevent and control obesity and other chronic diseases;
- Provide training and technical assistance to communities;
- Implement and evaluate nutrition and physical activity interventions to prevent obesity and other chronic diseases; and
- Evaluate the progress and impact of the both state plan and interventions.
(Five states funded at the capacity-building level ― Georgia, Kentucky, Missouri, Texas, and Wisconsin ― have met all the required performance measures to qualify for basic-implementation status, when funding is available.)
