- What it does
- The awardee will provide legal technical assistance and consultation to Office on Smoking and Health (OSH) and National Tobacco Control Program (NTCP) awardees on questions related to the identification, development, adoption, and implementation of evidence-based interventions and policies nationwide. This project will assure that all CDC-funded grantees awardees have access to legal technical assistance from tobacco prevention and control legal experts, as well as keep CDC informed of tobacco control-related legal issues that may affect NTCP goals and strategic planning.
- Who benefits
- 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.

How to read these numbers
- Committed through this program
Money committed under this assistance listing (its CFDA program), counted in the year each action happened.
- How it's paid
Most programs pay out one way — a grant, or a direct payment to individuals; the flow bar only appears when a program genuinely mixes types.
- Some recipients aren't itemized
For entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare, the government reports one aggregate instead of naming tens of millions of people, so the recipient roster isn't part of the public record.
- Awards, counted once
An award count is the number of distinct awards with at least one action that year — each counted once, however many times it was amended.
- The colored bars
Every bar on this page splits by how the money moves:
