The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announces the
intent to fund fiscal year (FY) 2004 funds for a cooperative agreement

diseases, promote healthy behaviors, and strengthen the outreach and

national non-profit organization that represents all state and
territorial public health officials. ASTHO was created specifically to
represent this group of state agencies to the federal government and
other national organizations and is unique in its role as a liaison
among these officials. It has served as a capacity-building
organization in public health matters for many years and one of its
major objectives is the sharing of information among state health
departments. Historically, ASTHO has

development and implementation of programs and policies to promote
health and prevent disease.
