Summary

The Secretary, through the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, must create a national program to prevent diabetes in adults at high risk. The goal is to reduce the preventable burden of diabetes. The program must fund community model sites with grants; have CDC-run rules to decide who can deliver community diabetes services; train and reach out to lifestyle intervention instructors; and have CDC do evaluation, monitoring, technical help, and applied research. Eligible grantees include state or local health departments, tribal organizations, national community nonprofit networks focused on health and wellbeing, academic institutions, or others the Secretary names. Congress may appropriate such sums as may be necessary for each of fiscal years 2010 through 2014.
