RFA Regional Initiative to Reduce Tobacco-Related Disparities

RFA 17-10569 Regional Initiative to Reduce Tobacco-Related Disparities Frequently Asked Questions Updated 10/24/2017 Questions and Responses in Red were submitted after September 28, 2017 Letter of Intent Q1: What is the distinction in the priority population information between the two following Letter of Intent (LOI) requirements? - The geographical region and priority population to be addressed by the application? - Identification of the priority population of focus? A: Please identify in the LOI the geographical region that you intend to work within (e.g., Bay Area, Central Valley, Gold Country, etc.) and the priority population that you will focus on in that geographical area (i.e., African American/Black, Asian/Pacific Islander, Hispanic/Latino or Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer [LGBTQ]). Q2: If we are co-applying with partners, do we have to name those partners on the LOI? Also, if we are co-applying but decide later to not be the lead, would our co-applicants have to have submitted an LOI or would it be sufficient that we did and a co-applicant with them? A: You do not need to identify the names of co-applicant partners in the LOI. Any agency that intends to submit an Application (e.g., the prime Applicant) is required to submit a LOI. Q3: Do the consortium partners need to be listed in the LOI? A: No. Q4: Will you be providing a list of agencies that submit an LOI? A: No. Q5: What level of detail is required of the project description section in the LOI? A: Please provide a general description of what you intend to address, (e.g., smoke-free housing, flavored tobacco product restrictions, cessation services, etc.). The LOI is not binding. Q6: Our project s geographic focus is in the Central Valley. With the adjusted total funds available for the Central Valley, would we resubmit a LOI and update our estimated request amount if we have already submitted an LOI before the update? A: No, the original LOI will suffice. Region Definition Q7: Into which region does Tuolumne County fall? On Appendix 3 it is listed in the Gold Country Region, however on page 12 of the Request for Applications (RFA) Tuolumne County is in the Central Valley Region. A: Tuolumne County falls in the Gold Country Region. Thank you for noting this discrepancy. Table 1 on page 12, Appendices 2, and 3 have been corrected. Q8: Must awardees provide program services to every county in their region? 1

Q9: Are applicants required to include all the counties of the region of focus in the proposed activities? Q10: Some counties have several competitive grantees and a Local Lead Agency (LLA), if we are required to also work in this county as part of the RFA, do we have to work in a city where other LLAs and community grantees are not already working on policy efforts? A: Grant funds from RFA #17-10569 may not supplant or duplicate existing funded activities. Applicants are strongly advised to communicate with existing funded agencies in the proposed geographical area to understand how their efforts could complement, support or leverage existing work by engaging the priority population of focus. Q11: Page 12 indicates you will fund a Latino project in the North Coast, but Appendix 3 does not indicate this. Please clarify. A: Thank you for noting this error. Page 12 and Appendix 2 are correct. Appendix 3 is in error. It will be corrected. Q12: Will we need to address the designated priority population for every county in a region? Proposed services are to be for the entire region. Staffing Q13: If you are applying as a consortium, can the Project Director be a staff member of the primary applicant and the Community Engagement Coordinator be a staff member of a consortium partner, or do both staff members need to be primary applicant staff members? Staff members are not required to only be from the prime/ applicant s staff. Q14: Can the 100% Project Director (or other staffing positions) be split amongst 2 or 3 people? For example, having two co-project Directors at 25% and 75% FTE? A: No. This RFA requires that there be a 100% FTE Project Director or a 100% FTE Project Coordinator listed on the budget. Q15: For the Project Director 100% FTE requirement, can that be split between Prop 99 and Prop 56 funding streams? A: No. This RFA is being funded entirely by Prop 56. This RFA requires that there be a 100% FTE Project Director or a 100% FTE Project Coordinator listed on the budget. This 100% FTE requirement may not be met by split funding the position across grants. Q16: Must the FTE Project Director be paid 100% with grant funds or can that person be paid partly with grant funds and partly with the agency s own funds? A: There must be a minimum of one 100% FTE Project Director or a 100% Project Coordinator funded solely by this grant. Q17: Provided that neither the activities nor the staff time are not funded by the grant, can a project director/project coordinator spend time on work other than the grant? A: No. There must be a minimum of one 100% FTE Project Director or a 100% Project Coordinator funded solely by this grant and working on grant activities 100% of the time. Any position funded by CDPH/CTCP must exclusively work on the CDPH/CTCP project. For audit 2

purposes, any split-funded position will need to provide a time study of the position to verify the hours spent on the CDPH/CTCP project. Q18: Must the staff for each proposal already be hired? In other words, can an organization submit a job description (including required experience and job expectations) for a project director/project coordinator or community engagement coordinator and make the hire following the notification of a grant award? A: A job description is sufficient. Q19: Can you describe the role of the Plan Evaluator vs. the Project Evaluator? A: The Plan Evaluator is the individual that provides guidance on the development of the evaluation plan in the application and negotiation phase of the grant. This individual must certify the number of hours he/she provided to develop the evaluation portion of the scope of work and reviewing the objectives. The individual designated, as the Plan Evaluator never changes during the term of the grant. The Project Evaluator is the individual who assists with the implementation of the evaluation portion of the scope of work during the grant term. In general, when the Application is submitted, the Plan Evaluator and Project Evaluator are the same person, but during the term of the grant, the Project Evaluator may change. Application and Applicant Qualifications Q20: Is this bid for non-profit entities only? A: Only California public or private non-profit entities are eligible to apply for these funds. Please refer to page 17 of the RFA for more information on eligibility criteria. Non-profit agencies must provide proof of their non-profit status with their Application. Q21: Will the Applicant Capability section be judged only based on the experience and qualifications of the primary applicant or will the consortium partner s background be taken into account as well? A: For scoring the Applicant Capability section of the Application, the experience of the consortium partners may be used to support the Applicant s Capability to perform the work identified in the scope of work. However, the lead agency will need to meet the California public or private non-profit agency eligibility requirement and will need to demonstrate its administrative and fiscal capacity to manage government funds. Q22: As a non-profit agency, do the eligibility requirements for LLAs apply to the California Health Collaborative given the organization s role administering the LLA contracts in the counties within the Central Valley and Tri-county South regions? Under the Funding Opportunity Description section (Part III.A.1E), page 17 of the RFA, it is stated that LLAs are ineligible for awards unless the agency is a participant within a consortium of community-based organizations or non-profit agencies. A: Under the Funding Opportunity Description section (Part III.A.1E), page 17 of the RFA, the California Health Collaborative is eligible to apply per their status as a private non-profit entity/organization. Q23: If we are applying jointly with other organizations and all three organizations meet the eligibility requirements, does that meet eligibility or does the Lead Applicant have to meet all the requirements on their own? A: An Applicant may meet the Applicant Capability requirements through the joint experience and capabilities of the partner agencies. However, the lead applicant will need to meet the 3

California public or private non-profit agency eligibility and will need to demonstrate its administrative/fiscal capacity to handle grant funds. Q24: Is a collaborative proposal allowable? If yes, do you need three letters of reference for each collaborative partner or only for the lead agency? A: Collaborative Applications are allowable. The letters of reference are to relate to the qualifications of the lead Applicant. Only three letters of reference may be submitted. Letters of reference may not be from subcontractors/collaborators. Q25: Can an applicant be a lead agency on one proposal and a partner (non-lead) on another? However, the time-base of no single individual may exceed 100% FTE and the lead Applicant agency must demonstrate that it has capacity to perform work across multiple grant applications. Q26: With regard to the Eligibility Criteria, Non-LLA Applicants: May submit an application reflecting a consortium for up to three (3) agencies, including the prime applicant : Are we required to have a consortium or is it optional? A: A consortium Application is optional. Q27: If an LLA is a lead applicant working with partners, can they still do work throughout the region even if there are other LLAs there? A: Any LLA funded under this RFA is expected to work in the entire region. However, grant funds from RFA #17-10569 may not supplant or duplicate existing funded activities. Applicants are strongly advised to communicate with existing funded agencies in the proposed geographical area to understand how their efforts could complement, support or leverage existing work by engaging the priority population of focus. The LLA would need to ensure that their management approved such an arrangement. Q28 Can/must the consortium partners capabilities be provided as well as the Applicant s? A: Where appropriate and relevant, partner capacity should be noted in the Applicant Capability section. Q29: We are applying as a consortium. Is it possible to include each of the consortium members information in some of the Applicant Capability questions and question sections but not in all of them? For example, can each be included in the "Agency Mission" question, but just the primary applicant be included in the various questions under the "Administrative/Fiscal Experience and Audit History" section of the application? Also, does each consortium member need to complete the "Tax Debtor List Requirements?" A: Applicants must decide what information to include in each section that best presents the expertise and capacity of the Applicant and its partners. Applications are scored competitively the best application for the region will be selected for funding. Yes, each consortium member must complete the Tax Debtor List requirement. 4

Q30: Are governing agencies, such as the County Office of Education eligible to apply for this funding opportunity if they are not applying in a consortium with other non-profit agencies? For instance, an Office of Education partnering with a California community College and California State University would this allow the Office of Education to be eligible to apply as the lead applicant? A: Yes, a County Office of Education (COE) may apply. COEs are not required to apply as a consortium. Q31: Our national organization reduces tobacco and cancer related disparities for African Americans. Our office headquarters is in Durham, North Carolina, but we have programs and services nationally. Would we be allowed to apply for this funding opportunity? A: Applicant agencies must have an office that has been physically located for at least three years, in the geographical region proposed to be served. Q32: Is the final due date for the grant under consideration for being extended to give people who are now just being alerted to the application process extra time to craft their proposals? A: No. The application due date is November 14, 2017. Q33: Is a 501(c) 4 entity incorporated outside of CA but registered with the Secretary of State of CA, and doing business in the relevant region(s) in CA eligible for funding? Q34: Provided office space in the region has existed for at least three years, would the physical office(s) of a consortia partner, rather than the lead agency, satisfy the physical office eligibility requirements? A: The Applicant agency must have been physically located, for at least three (3) years in the geographical region proposed to be served. This requirement may be met by an Affiliate organization, but not a completely separate consortium partner. Q35: We are using an evaluator who is in the Evaluator Directory. Once I added them as the Plan Evaluator their Profile was uploaded from the Evaluator Directory, which was incomplete because there was nothing listed in the Education or Work Samples/References sections. Do these sections need to be updated before the Application can be submitted? A: In the Scoring Criteria and Rating Points, there is a scored question related to the qualifications of the Plan Evaluator. Applications are scored competitively the best application for the region will be selected for funding. Q36: Los Angeles county/region is very large with over 88 cities and nonincorporated areas. How many cities/jurisdictions is sufficient to be considered eligible for this Regional RFA? A: Applications are scored competitively the best application for the region will be selected for funding. The amount of work proposed in the scope of work must be commensurate with the proposed budget. 5

Priority Population Q37: Can an application focus specifically on youth/young adult sub-populations for the LGBTQ target population? Q38: Can agencies that serve African Immigrant populations apply under the African American/Black category? A: Yes, if the African immigrant population is Black. Q39: If our target population is a subpopulation of the LGBT community and we are focusing on African American men, would we apply under the LGBT category or African American category? A: If the focus of the grant application is to address tobacco use in the LGBT population, then the Applicant should submit under the LGBTQ category. Priority Areas/Objectives Q40: Can an application focus specifically on Priority Areas 1 and 4 ( Limit Tobacco Promoting Influences and Promote Tobacco Cessation )? Q41: Will preference be given to applicants that address all four priority areas? A: No. Q42: Can all three of our objectives be from Table 2? Q43: Communities of Excellence Indicator 2.2.9 measures the number of jurisdictions with a policy prohibiting smoking on the premises of outdoor non-recreational outdoor public areas. The Health Equity Policy Focus example is Establish Smoke-Free Community College, Technical Schools and Trade School campuses. Is a policy passed by a community college Board of Trustees considered a jurisdiction? Q44: If within one geographical region there are different Priority Populations applying to do the same work (for example: the Latino and African American projects both apply to work on flavors in the same communities) and these applications are both chosen as the best proposals for their Priority Population in that region, will they both be funded or how will this be handled? A: It depends on the situation; however, it is possible for both priority populations to be funded in that geographical region and to jointly work on a policy or system change campaign. Intervention and Evaluation Activities Q45: What might a scope of work look like that touches all counties in a specific region? Do activities need to be spread evenly across the entire region? A: Please see Appendix 13, Sample Scopes of Work and Evaluation for more information on what a scope of work should look like. Applications are scored competitively the best application for the region will be selected for funding. 6

Q46: For dissemination of the evaluation findings, what kind of groups/organizations are the evaluation findings typically disseminated to? A: Typically, evaluation findings are disseminated to community partners, elected officials, targeted audiences (e.g., tobacco retailers, health care providers, multi-unit housing managers), and public health professionals through conferences and peer reviewed articles. Q47: Are the 2-3 waves of Key Informant Interviews (KIIs) and 1-2 waves of Focus Groups (page 31 of the RFA) independently/externally executed? A: The California Tobacco Control Program intends to contract with an external evaluator who will be responsible for evaluating the Regional Initiative to Mobilize Communities and Reduce Tobacco-Related Disparities among African American/Black; Asian/Pacific Islander; Hispanic/Latino; and LGBTQ Populations. Applicants funded under this RFA are required to participate in the evaluation activities, which are anticipated to include those described on page 31 of the RFA. Q48: For consumer testing of media ads, does this include social media like Facebook and Instagram? Both apps have built-in creative and is done on the spot, like boosting a post as an option for advertising. A: The consumer-testing requirement applies to paid media advertisements. It does not apply to social media posts. Q49: Is it true that informational and educational advocacy activities including, but not limited to, key informant interviews, polls, asking questions of the public, informing the public, etc. would not be considered lobbying? A: Lobbying is defined as any attempt to promote a yes or no vote on a specific piece of legislation, local ordinance, ballot measure, or to promote any candidate for an elective public office through any oral, written, or other form of communication. Providing factual information and/or education on an issue is not lobbying. Q50: Will the guidance regarding lobbying vs. education/advocacy activities issued for Prop 99 ( Examples of Lobbying vs. Education/Advocacy and Use of Prop 99 Funds ) be the standard for defining lobbying vs. education/advocacy activities for Prop 56 and, more specifically, these RFAs? If so, will it be applied in the same manner? If not, what will define lobbying vs. education/advocacy activities for these RFAs? A: Yes, lobbying is defined the same for Prop 99 and Prop 56 funded programs, including grants funded under these RFAs. Q51: Are entities selected for funding restricted from lobbying? In other words, can entities selected for funding use alternative funds to lobby? If so, are there any restrictions? A: Program staff funded 100% through these funding opportunities may not lobby. Staff funded partially through other funding sources must clearly define specifically when they are working on Prop 99 or Prop 56 grant activities and when they are not. Q52: For the purposes of this RFA, would paid social media posts and advertisements be considered paid media or social media? A: These would be considered paid media. 7

Q53: How many legislative policies are applicants expected to support/pass in the 5 year grant period? Are applicants expected to include policy activities in every county in their region? A: The scope of work must include a minimum of three policy, system, and environmental change objectives. Objectives may address more than one jurisdiction. Applications are scored competitively the best application for the region will be selected for funding. The amount of work proposed must be commensurate with the level of funding requested. Funds may not be used to lobby. Q54: Los Angeles Local lead agency does not have an approved plan yet which makes it difficult to plan for a Los Angeles Regional RFA proposal without duplicating services. Can we state we will work in specific jurisdictions and have the ability to change it down the line once Los Angeles LLA s plan has been approved? A: You are encouraged to communicate with the LLA regarding the current jurisdictions they propose to work in and to tailor your application around existing information. Should it be necessary to avoid duplication of work, adjustments may be made during the grant award process. Coordination and Collaboration Q54: What is meant by stakeholders/stakeholder groups in a region? A: Stakeholders are persons, organizations, social groups, or society at large who have an interest in the issue of tobacco control and the approach being taken to prevent and reduce tobacco use. These may include individuals or groups representing health, education, housing, social justice, environmental concerns, etc. Q55: What level of coordination with LLAs and other California Tobacco Control Program (CTCP)-funded local/state tobacco control partners is expected of strong applicants? A: Strong applicants should have proactive regular communication outside of coalition meetings and should provide support of each agency s efforts. Q56: What level of coordination do we need to have with LLAs within the region to ensure the applicant s objective support or leverage that of the LLA s? A: It is strongly encouraged that Applicants proactively communicate with LLAs to avoid duplication and to find ways to complement, support and/or leverage the work of the LLAs. It is the Applicant s responsibility to show how this will be done in the Application. Subcontracting Q57: Does getting a grant to work within a region/population preclude us from subcontracting with other grantees working in other regions or with other populations? A: No. However, no single individual may be more than 100% FTE across all funded projects and the agency must demonstrate that it has the capacity to perform work satisfactorily across multiple projects. Q58: Does getting a grant to work within a region/population preclude us from subcontracting with other Proposition 56 and Proposition 99 grantees working on other projects? A: No. However, no single individual may be more than 100% FTE across all funded projects and the agency must demonstrate that it has the capacity to perform work satisfactorily across multiple projects. 8

Q59: I have been hired on as a grant writer for the RFA #17-10569. Our proposal will include a number of partners with specific relationships with the target audience we have prioritized. We know who some of the partners may be, although by the time of submission, we may not have all of the partners confirmed. Will our application be less competitive if we do not specify who our partners will be? Also, are we required to name the partners if we plan to subcontract with them for services or can we specify that the partner/subcontractor will be determined upon award? A: Applications will be scored on applicant capability, which includes applicant partners. At a minimum, applicants must define the full scope of work and the portions proposed to be subcontracted, along with the minimum qualifications of the subcontractor. Should an award be granted, subcontractors may be defined following the award. When the identity of the subcontractor is not known, identify the services to be performed, the formula for calculating costs, and describe the competitive process that will be utilized to select the subcontractor. Q60: Does getting a grant to work within a region/population preclude us from subcontracting with other grantees working in other regions or with other populations? A: These grants are funded to work within a specific region, and with specific populations. Funding may not be directed to work in other regions or with other populations however, if a subcontractor in the region has expertise in more than one population, a subcontract may be justified. No single individual may be funded to work more than 100% time. Budget Q61: Are you saying to not mention out of state travel in the RFA but talk about it during negotiations? A: Applicants may include requests for out-of-state travel in their grant Applications. Q62: Do we report on historical Proposition 99 funding, or only current funding? A: Report current funding only. Q63: Is the three-year physical office space non-budgeted? Would an applicant for a region with a physical office space for a slightly less time with other physical office in close regions over three years? A: Applicants must demonstrate that they have had for at least three years, a physical office located in the geographical region they intend to serve. Having an office in nearby region does not meet this eligibility requirement. Having an office for less than three years does not meet this requirement. There is no requirement that the Applicant had to pay rent for the office space. Q64: Does the budget maximum funding include both direct and indirect costs? A: Yes, the maximum funding includes both direct and indirect costs. Q65: Per the new instructions in the RFA, are we only limited to 15% indirect rate on the Modified Total Direct Costs (MTDC). A: The indirect rate used by Applicants, that are not a local health department, may not exceed a maximum of 25% of the Total Personnel Services (Personnel Costs plus Fringe Benefits) or a maximum of 15% of Total Allowable Direct Costs (only the first $25,000 of each subcontract may be included in the calculation of the Total Allowable Direct Costs). Q66: If you have a project website as one of your communications activity in your scope of work, can you build hosting and domain costs into your budget? A: Funds may be budgeted to integrate a website, into the Primary Applicant s existing website, activities specifically identified in the scope of work approved by CTCP. 9

Q67: One of our consortium members (not the primary applicant) will hire a staff member who will serve as the Community Engagement Coordinator on the project. This consortium partner has its own payroll company and uses a fiscal sponsor to manage their finances. Do they need to respond to the questions in the "Administrative/Fiscal Experience and Audit History" section of the Applicant Capability area? Does their fiscal sponsor need to do so? Q68: The budget justification discusses the cost of cell phone fees as limited to 5 devices and not exceeding $3,900 annually (Page 6 of 20). Our company reimburses staff a modest amount per month for their use of their personal cell phones. Is this an allowable expense for the contract? A: CDPH/CTCP funds may not be used to reimburse grantee staff for personal cell phone usage. Grant funds may only be used to carry out the activities of the scope of work. It is anticipated that Prop 56 funds will be subjected to biennial audits from the California State Auditor. Q69: In Appendix 20, Travel Reimbursement Information, it states that Meal/Supplement Expenses are reimbursed with or without receipts. Must employees have receipts? A: There may be a biennial audit of Proposition 56 funds. Having receipts would justify the travel expenses during an audit. Q70: In Appendix 20, Travel Reimbursement Information, are the Meal Expense reimbursements limited per meal, (i.e. lunch cannot exceed $11.00)? A: The Meal Expenses are stated in Appendix 20 of the RFA. Q71: In Appendix 20, Travel Reimbursement Information, our company provides a Per Diem reimbursement in total for each short-term trip, not limited per meal. Does this contract limit the reimbursement by each meal rather than in total? A: Yes, the meal reimbursement expenses are stated in Appendix 20. Q72: Per the Addendum Letter of 10/9/17, the Indirect Rate methodology was changed to include the Total Allowable Direct Cost methodology. You did not mention a limiting percentage to Indirect Costs based on this methodology as you did on the Total Personnel Services methodology. Are you setting a limit on the indirect costs using the Total Allowable Direct Cost Methodology? A: The indirect rate for Total Allowable Direct Costs is 15%. The term Total Allowable Direct Cost is used to refer to the fact that when calculating the ICR off total costs, the 15% is only calculated off the first $25,000 of each subcontract. Q73: Our company has a Federal Indirect Cost Rate Agreement based on the Total Allowable Direct Cost methodology. While our Indirect Cost rate is lower than 25% of Total Modified Costs, it would result in a rate that is greater than 25% of Total Personnel Services. Per our Federal Indirect Agreement, we must charge all contracts the same rate and method equally. Will you accept our current Federal Indirect Rate Agreement? A: The Indirect Cost Rate (ICR) used by non-local health department Applicants, must not exceed a maximum of 25 percent of the Total Personnel Services (Personnel Costs plus Fringe Benefits Cost) or 15 percent of Total Allowable Direct Costs. The term Total Allowable Direct Cost is used to refer to the fact that when calculating the ICR off total costs, the 15% is only calculated off the first $25,000 of each subcontract. Local health department Applicants must 10

use an ICR that does not exceed the local health department s FY 2017-18 CDPH approved ICR. Required Documents Q74: On page 40-41 of the RFA, six additional documents are listed that must be submitted through OTIS. If we will not be conducting cessation activities, are we required to submit this form? A: Applicants that do not request to provide cessation services are not required to submit the cessation form. Q75: Can the same letter of reference be used for multiple applications? Or must each application have three unique letters of reference? A: If an agency is applying for more than one region or population, the same letters of reference may be used if they are equally applicable. Q76: We requested a letter of reference from our current funder, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and were told that the Office of Financial Resources cannot provide reference letters as it is considered a signed endorsement, which is federally prohibited. We were told that we could use our notice of award and technical reviews to demonstrate you have received funding and how your work has been viewed by CDC. Is this sufficient to submit in place of a direct letter of reference? A: Letters of Reference will be reviewed and scored according to criteria noted in the RFA. A notice of award and technical review is not a substitute for a letter of reference. Q77: The cessation protocol document available for download under Additional Documents is different from the one on the TCFOR website. Please clarify which should be completed and uploaded. A: The Cessation Identification and Treatment Protocol form found on the TCFOR website under Related Documents is the correct form. A description of this is found on pages 15 and 41 of the RFA. Q78: In the "Otis Application Instructions: Applicant Capability" section there is a different version of what is required for the Letters of Reference (see pages 28-29) than what is listed in "Table 8. Scoring Criteria and Rating Points" (see pages 45-46). Is this a mistake? A: No, both are correct. The Applicant Capability instructions provide details on the Letter of Reference requirements. In the Scoring Criteria and Rating Points, there is a scored question on the three required Letters of Reference. Please note that applications are scored competitively the best application for the region will be selected for funding. General Questions Q79: Where can I get access to the information webinar if I missed it? A: On the TCFOR website under Trainings and Meetings. Q80: Will the slides be available at the website? A: The slides are posted on the TCFOR website under Trainings and Meetings Q81: Will there be an Updated Grantee Manual or will we be using the one in attachment 23 from 2009? A: The California Tobacco Control Program is in the process of updating its grantee manual. However, for now, please reference the 2009 manual. 11

Q82: If no Regional project is funded for a particular region, or no regional RFA applications were submitted for that region, will CTCP re-issue a regional RFA for that particular region? A: CTCP has no plans at this time to re-issue this regional RFA. CTCP has many procurements planned over the next two years. Once those needs are addressed, gaps will be identified and additional RFAs will be released depending on the availability of funds. Q83: I am reporting an error in the RFA. On page 15, it says this: Include an activity in their SOW that supports LLAs in the collection of Healthy Stores for a Healthy Community data collection, media events, and educational activities. The data collection is scheduled for the spring of FY 2018/19. Use the Wizard in OTIS to add this activity to the SOW. Wizards are pre-written items that are commonly included in many SOW. See Appendix 14. Instructions for Accessing the OTIS Activity Wizard and Appendix 15. OTIS Activity Wizards List for instructions on how to access OTIS Wizard and a list of sample Wizards. A: Please see the OTIS Evaluation Activity Wizards for the Healthy Stores for a Healthy Community (HSHC) Wizards. The HSHC Observation Data Collection Wizard may be used. Additionally, there are two others that may be adapted: HSHC Key Informant Interviews and HSHC Media Activity Record. 12
