[Program Announcement 04083]
Collaboration for Global Cancer and Tobacco Control Notice of
Intent To Fund Single Eligibility Award
A. Purpose
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announces the
intent to fund fiscal year (FY) 2004 funds for a cooperative agreement
program to support Center for Disease Control National Center for
Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion's (CDC/NCCDPHP) cancer
prevention and tobacco control efforts. The Catalog of Federal Domestic
Assistance number for this program is 93.945.
B. Eligible Applicant
Assistance will be provided only to the International Union against
Cancer (UICC). Unique to UICC is its large, global volunteer member
network, which can provide effective and maximal use of government
resources. UICC is the only international non-governmental organization
dedicated solely to the global control of cancer. UICC is the largest,
independent, non-profit association of 280 cancer-fighting
organizations in 90 countries. As such, UICC brings together a wide
range of agencies including patient and survivor support networks,
voluntary cancer societies, public health authorities, and research and
treatment centers.
Globally, and through its partners and volunteer experts, UICC is
well placed to disseminate knowledge and foster best practices on a
wide scale. UICC's strategic focus is on four key directions which are
consistent with the intended strategy for this project. UICC's
strategic focus includes cancer prevention and early detection, tobacco
control, knowledge transfer, and capacity building.
UICC has grown since its inception in 1933 to become a forum for
and of professionals interested in all aspects of cancer control.
UICC's journal, The International Journal of Cancer, publishes 30
issues per year. GLOBALINK Tobacco is the largest online network of
tobacco control professionals with over 3500 members. UICC's World
Cancer Congresses bring together leading experts in different fields
from cancer research to cancer care.
The UICC World Cancer Congress will take place in July 2006 in
Washington DC. In addition, the UICC is strategically positioned as the
secretariat for the 13th World Conference on Tobacco or Health which
will be held immediately following the World Cancer Congress also in
Washington, DC.
The UICC is uniquely positioned as the only agency with an
international network of non-governmental organizations in health and
medical care focused solely on cancer and tobacco control. With its
voluntary network in numerous countries, it is ideally positioned to
address these linked issues in a cost effective way.
C. Funding
Approximately $450,000 is available in FY 2004 to fund this award.
It is expected that the award will begin on or before June 15, 2004,
and will be made for a 12-month budget period within a project period
of up to three years. Funding estimates may change.
