Year 1 funding is $195,105 (100% federal via CMS RHT Program). Per Addendum 1 (issued June 19, 2026), the submission deadline was extended to July 10, 2026, 5:00 PM ET, and participant eligibility was clarified to require CDC DPRP eligibility (qualifying prediabetes blood test, history of gestational diabetes, or a positive prediabetes risk screening) in addition to BMI/age/no-prior-diagnosis criteria. Per Addendum 2 (issued July 2, 2026), Year 1 award amount is revised to $195,105 and the application deadline is extended to July 17, 2026, 5:00 PM ET.
