Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA DP20 2006
The National Asian Language Tobacco Use and Dependence Treatment Support System (CDC RFA DP20 2006) is a CDC cooperative agreement designed to fund one organization to operate and promote a nationwide tobacco cessation quitline that is linguistically and culturally appropriate for people who use tobacco and primarily speak Chinese (including Cantonese and Mandarin), Korean, or Vietnamese (often grouped as CKV). The opportunity is rooted in the idea that quitlines are among the most accessible and scalable cessation supports available, particularly for people who may face cost, transportation, or healthcare access barriers. Telephone quitlines are evidence-based and have been shown to increase quit rates, and they also tend to reach diverse and lower-income populations effectively.
A key problem the grant addresses is the limited ability of many state quitlines to provide in-language, culturally tailored services for CKV-speaking callers. Even though every U.S. state, the District of Columbia, Guam, and Puerto Rico is covered by a state quitline system (operated by a set of established quitline vendors), most state programs do not have the staffing or language capacity needed to counsel callers in Chinese, Korean, or Vietnamese. This gap can become a direct barrier to treatment access and may contribute to persistent tobacco-related health disparities among Asian American subgroups, where language, culture, and trust in healthcare systems can strongly influence whether someone seeks help and sticks with cessation support.
The NOFO builds on an existing national model: since October 2012, the Asian Smokers Quitline (ASQ) has provided national service to CKV-speaking populations and has enrolled more than 15,000 callers from all 50 states and Washington, DC. Through this funding, CDC aims to continue and strengthen a national Asian language quitline as a complement to established national entry points such as 1-800-QUIT-NOW (which routes English-speaking callers to state quitline services) and 1-855-DEJELO-YA (which routes Spanish-speaking callers to Spanish-language services available through state quitlines). In other words, the funded program is meant to fill a critical language-access gap by offering a dedicated, nationwide pathway for CKV-speaking tobacco users to receive counseling and cessation assistance that does not depend on a given state having in-house CKV language capacity.
In addition to traditional phone-based counseling, the opportunity reflects the broader shift in cessation services toward integrated, digital support options. The CDC notes that newer digital services such as texting, web-based tools, chat, and mobile apps show strong promise for expanding reach and creating more comprehensive state-based tobacco treatment systems. While the centerpiece of this award is a national Asian language quitline, the emphasis on modern service channels signals that the recipient may be expected to support, align with, or help expand multi-channel cessation options so that CKV-speaking users can access help in ways that match their preferences and day-to-day communication habits.
Administratively, this is a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement mechanism, which typically means CDC anticipates substantial involvement in program coordination, performance expectations, and ongoing collaboration rather than a hands-off grant. The awarding agency is the Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, under NCCDPHP, and it is associated with CFDA number 93.387. The posted award ceiling is $700,000, and CDC expects to make one award, meaning the competition is intended to select a single national operator for this function. Eligible applicants are broad and include various levels of government, public and private institutions of higher education, tribal governments and organizations, public housing authorities, nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status, for-profit organizations (including small businesses), and other entities as allowed by the NOFOs eligibility language.
Key dates included in the listing show the opportunity was created on November 1, 2019, with an original application closing date of January 7, 2020, and electronic submissions due by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. Overall, the grant is essentially a national capacity-building and service-delivery investment meant to reduce language and cultural barriers in tobacco cessation treatment for CKV-speaking communities, strengthen equitable access to proven quit support, and complement the existing national quitline portals that already serve English and Spanish speakers.Apply for CDC RFA DP20 2006
