Through the new Communities Putting Prevention to Work (CPPW) grant =20=
|
| | program, the CDC will award $373 million to 30 to 40 communities =20

|
| | reduce obesity (through improved physical activity and nutrition) =20
and/or reduce tobacco use. Communities can apply for either focus =20
area or both. This landmark opportunity is aimed at mobilizing =20
community resources toward broad-based policy, systems, =20
organizational and environmental changes. The application places an =20=
