Opportunity Overview
The New Jersey Department of Health Diabetes Capacity Building 2027 grant, NOFA reference DOHP27DCB, is a continuation opportunity under NJDOH’s Division of Health Promotion. The current FY2026-2027 NJDOH grant directory lists the program as open with an application deadline of September 23, 2026.
Funding and Award Period
The current grant-specific NOFA retained in Atlas source control lists an estimated $241,172 in the grant program for an award period of October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027. The NOFA does not establish a separate per-applicant ceiling.
A separate NJDOH FFY26 Preventive Health and Health Services Block Grant draft budget allocates $325,000 to the broader Diabetes Capacity Building priority. The accompanying program-priorities document distributes that broader planned amount across named components, including CentraState Medical Center, The Diabetes Foundation, NJ 211, and a Rutgers-led Umbrella Hub Organization initiative. Atlas therefore does not substitute the draft $325,000 block-grant planning figure for the current DOHP27DCB NOFA amount.
Eligibility
The current DOHP27DCB source-control record identifies this as a continuation-only grant for applicants previously funded under the PHHSBG Diabetes Capacity Building Program. It should not be treated as an open statewide competition for new applicants.
NJDOH’s FFY26 program priorities reinforce that continuation posture by naming specific implementation partners and projects. Examples include CentraState Medical Center expanding virtual National Diabetes Prevention Program cohorts; The Diabetes Foundation expanding DSMES and online DPP referral capacity; NJ 211 screening and referring callers to diabetes-management resources; and Rutgers developing New Jersey’s first Umbrella Hub Organization for diabetes-prevention programs.
Application and Controls
Applications are submitted through the NJDOH System for Administering Grants Electronically (SAGE) in accordance with the RFA. The current NOFA source-control record requires current organizational documents including an Annual Audit Report, IRS Determination Letter, NJ Charities Registration Letter, and Tax Clearance Certificate. The public directory does not state an exact submission clock time or timezone, so Atlas does not invent one.

Program Purpose
The program supports evidence-based diabetes prevention and management capacity for high-burden New Jersey populations. Current PHHSBG planning materials emphasize referral and navigation, National Diabetes Prevention Program participation, DSMES/DSMP access, outreach and engagement, payer/reimbursement infrastructure, and expansion of diabetes education capacity.
Program Considerations
The verified program models center on screening, referral, education, prevention-program enrollment, community-partner training, and payment and administrative infrastructure. Any proposed technology or equipment cost should be confirmed against the controlling RFA before budgeting.
This is a current New Jersey healthcare funding program with substantial chronic-disease relevance, but it is continuation-restricted and therefore not a broad new-applicant opportunity.
Next Action
Existing continuation grantees should retrieve the current RFA, confirm detailed allowable-cost and subcontract controls, and prepare the SAGE application by September 23, 2026. Because the public directory does not state an exact submission time or timezone, applicants should verify the operative cutoff in the controlling RFA or SAGE before submission.
