Details:
The goal is to reduce the rates of disability and death associated with the chronic diseases affecting the islands’ populations.
This NOFO includes two components:
- A mandatory Core Component to promote health and reduce chronic diseases within each of the eight U.S. territories and freely associated states.
- An optional, competitive Oral Health Component to address oral health in one of the U.S. territories or freely associated states.
Addressing chronic disease in these islands is challenging for many reasons, including:
- High disease burden.
- Dispersed populations.
- Limited infrastructure.
- Limited availability of surveillance data.
- Diverse cultures and languages.
- Vulnerability to natural disasters.
- Strained healthcare systems.
- High healthcare costs.
Promoting health equity is essential for effective chronic disease prevention. By understanding the unique perspectives and context of island communities and tailoring strategies to match, programs can reduce health disparities and improve overall well-being in the U.S. territories and freely associated states. This NOFO will focus on strategies that address health disparities and social determinants of health, as reflected in the NCCDPHP Approach to Social Determinants of Health.
