The FOA limits purchase of NRT to 5% of the award amount. Does the cap on NRT apply to the total amount of the award or only the amount for the Component III, Quitlines?
Purchase of NRT is limited to 5% of the amount awarded for Component III, Quitlines. Q: For component 3, can we use the projected number of quitters based on our revised budget for this year? We won’t be able to get more quitters than what we normally have due to budget cuts- is this ok? A: The 80,000 fewer smokers is our national target for this ARRA funding. We will be looking for each state to make a contribution to 80,000 above the number who would have quit without this new funding. Q: Concerning the goal of increasing the number of quitters by 80,000 —- Is there a state-by-state listing somewhere of the current number of quitters? Just looking at this to plan outcome measures, and I am not sure what the data source is. A: The 80,000 number is based on lessons learned from previous efforts. Each state is expected to expand and enhance existing cessation efforts and contribute towards the national target of 80,000 additional quitters above what normally is seen.
