B - Cooperative Agreements (Discretionary Grants)

In addition to the above list, legal centers are eligible for this FOA. Due to the strategies, activities and approaches required by this cooperative agreement, it is essential that the potential awardee has a) deep institutional knowledge specific to current and historical U.S. tobacco control issues, b) is an experienced national organization with capacity to work at the national level in tobacco control legal TA, and c) does not have any present or historical links to the tobacco industry and should provide a statement to such effect.

The immediate beneficiaries of the program include the federal government, state, local , territorial and Federally Recognized Indian Tribal Governments, as well as other CDC Office on Smoking and Health Awardees such as the National Networks, which include a range of non profit organizations. The ultimate beneficiary of the program is the general public, as the program seeks to support population-wide environmental changes that help to transform the nation’s health and provide individuals with equitable opportunities to take charge of their health. Smokers are more likely to be in lower socioeconomic groups; tobacco control work is a proven strategy to reduce health inequities.
