Background
This Notice of Funding Opportunity supports the achievement of four National Tobacco Control Program (NTCP) goals:
- Prevent initiation of commercial tobacco use among youth and young adults.
- Eliminate exposure to secondhand smoke.
- Promote quitting among adults and youth.
- Advance health equity by identifying and eliminating commercial tobacco product-related inequities and disparities.
These goals will be accomplished by funding the following two components:
Component 1: National Tobacco Control Program (state based)
Approximately $69.7 million per year to fund 51 recipients to implement an evidence-based state tobacco control program.
Component 2: State Commercial Tobacco Use and Dependence Treatment Support System
Approximately $16 million per year to fund 51 recipients to ensure quitline capacity during a national media campaign.
Achieving these goals will reduce chronic disease morbidity, mortality, and disability related to commercial tobacco use and dependence and secondhand smoke exposure in the United States. By the end of the five-year project period in 2025, the program will achieve the following outcomes:
- Decreased initiation of tobacco use among youth and young adults.
- Decreased exposure to secondhand smoke.
- Decreased tobacco use and dependence among adults and youth.
- Decreased tobacco-related disparities.
- Decreased prevalence of tobacco use and dependence and decreased consumption.
- Decreased disparities in tobacco cessation and tobacco use and dependence.
Eligibility
These funds will be awarded to the recipients currently funded under the National and State Tobacco Control Program, CDC-RFA-20-2001, for the budget period of 04/29/2025-04/28/2026.
Frequently asked questions
Can expanded authority be used in the 12-month period between 4/29/2025-4/28/2026? Can carryover from previous years be used in year 6 (4/29/2025-4/28/2026) or does the carryover need to be used in year 5?
Yes, DP20-2001 recipients can use Expanded Authority to move (carryover) unobligated funds from the previous budget years into the Year 5 Supplement Extension year (4/29/25-4/28/26). Please include your specific plans to use Unobligated funds on your Interim FFR in Section 12 and on a more detailed Spend Plan. Both the Interim FFR and the Spend Plan should be included with the Year 5 Supplement Extension Application.
Please note that any unobligated funds that are not accounted for on the Spend Plan could be used to offset the Year 5 Supplement Extension Award.
