    The RFA-DP-24-138 document provides essential information related to the funding opportunity from the CDC for projects addressing youth health strategies in schools, particularly those servicing rural and AI/AN adolescents. It outlines application requirements, including the Data Management Plan (DMP), budget specifics, allowable project types, and expectations for project outcomes. Key points include a funding ceiling of $500,000 per year for up to five years, the necessity for a DMP covering both quantitative and qualitative data, and the mandate that each applicant primarily focuses on rural areas as defined by specific guidelines. The document also emphasizes compliance with formatting and submission protocols, discouraging multiple applications from the same institution. Furthermore, it hints at the necessity for projects to demonstrate collaborative relationships with schools and community organizations while adhering to CDC’s What Works in Schools approach. Applicants should ensure their submissions align with the guidelines provided to avoid delays or rejections during review. Overall, the NOFO aims to enhance youth health through well-structured research and evaluation projects targeting multiple health domains.
