Through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has issued a funding opportunity for health departments to implement sustainable, proven, population-based approaches such as broad-based policy, systems, organizational and environmental changes in communities and schools to reduce tobacco use, increase healthy eating and physical activity, and decrease the prevalence of obesity. Health departments of large cities with over 1 million people are eligible to apply directly for funding that will support programs for a 2-year period beginning on February 26, 2010.
