CDC-RFA-DP20-2006 National Asian Language Tobacco Use and Dependence Treatment Support System Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control - NCCDPHP Quitlines are one of the most accessible tobacco use and dependence treatment resources that can efficiently reach people who use tobacco. Telephone quitlines increase quit rates among individuals who use tobacco and are trying to quit, and are effective in reaching and supporting diverse and low-income populations. There are currently 12 quitline providers operating state quitlines in every state, the District of Columbia, Guam, and Puerto Rico. Advances in new digital-based quit support services (e.g., texting, chat, web, apps) show great promise in expanding the reach of the quitline to create state-based tobacco use and dependence treatment systems. Limited capacity to provide linguistically and culturally appropriate services may create barriers that contribute to tobacco-related disparities, especially among various subgroups of Asian Americans that speak Chinese (including Cantonese and Mandarin), Korean, and Vietnamese languages (CKV). Most state quitlines do not have staff with the needed language skills to provide in-language services to callers who speak CKV languages. Since October 2012, the Asian Smokers’ Quitline (ASQ) has been serving CKV-speaking populations nationally and has enrolled over 15,000 callers from all 50 states and the District of Columbia. CDC will provide continued support for a national Asian language quitline to complement the national portals 1-800-QUIT-NOW (transfers English-speaking callers to English-language services available through their state quitlines) and 1-855-DEJELO-YA (transfers Spanish-speaking callers to Spanish-language services available through their state quitlines). This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) supports one recipient to operate and promote a linguistically and culturally appropriate nationwide quitline service for individuals who use tobacco and who predominantly speak CKV languages.             READ MORE

BTS-2020 Brown Tree Snake Program Department of the Interior

• The Office of Insular Affairs (OIA) is requesting fiscal year 2020 funding proposals for its Brown Tree Snake (BTS) Control Program.
  The invasive Brown Tree Snake (BTS) is believed to have been introduced to the island of Guam following World War II. Due to an abundant prey base and an absence of natural predators, the BTS population on Guam grew, quickly reaching unprecedented numbers. It was not until the 1980s when researchers began to study the sudden and sharp decline in Guam’s bird populations that the environmental and socioeconomic damage caused by the BTS began to be understood. The BTS is directly responsible for the extinction or local extirpation of 9 of 13 native forest birds and 3 of 12 native lizards on Guam. In addition, the BTS has had significant, negative impacts on Guam’s economy. The risk of accidental transport and establishment of the BTS in other locations has impacted regional shipping and transportation through increased biosecurity needs.
