The Association of State and Territorial Chronic Disease Program
Directors; 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 the establishment of a national initiative to
develop and implement systems and procedures that result in the
inclusion of comprehensive chronic disease prevention and control
concepts in the planning and delivery of health promotion and health
care services at the state level. The Catalog of Federal Domestic
Assistance number for this program is 93.945.
B. Eligible Applicant
Assistance will be provided only to the Association of State and
Territorial Chronic Disease Program Directors (CDD). No other
applications are solicited.
The CDD is the officially designated organization to advise and
represent the interest of state health officials in comprehensive
chronic disease prevention and control and health promotion activities.
Because of its relationship with ASTHO and all State and Territorial
chronic disease prevention and health promotion programs, the CDD can
provide state and national leadership for developing programs to
prevent and control chronic disease, including behaviors and conditions
that contribute to the development of chronic disease conditions. The
CDD is uniquely capable of analyzing, advising, and fulfilling liaison
responsibilities for comprehensive chronic disease prevention and
control activities in such broad-based specialties as aging, arthritis,
cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, diabetes health education,
managed care, nutrition, osteoporosis, physical activity, risk
reduction, and tobacco use. The CDD membership is multidisciplinary,
including physicians, nurses, health educators, social workers,
nutritionists, epidemiologists, administrators, and others. CDD has
served as a policy development and capacity-building organization for
state chronic disease matters since 1988 and has as one of its major
objectives, the sharing of information within and between State health
departments.
The CDD is responsible for developing, implementing and evaluating
state-based chronic disease prevention and health promotion programs,
therefore they are uniquely qualified to conduct and fulfill the
national requirements and focus of this program announcement. The CDD
accomplishes its mission by disseminating information on chronic
disease program needs and services, as well as recommending and
promoting improved policies and programs. The CDD also provides
consultation and guidance to states in the establishment of statewide
systems of coordinated population-based preventions. All of these
activities are accomplished through cooperation and collaboration with
national, state, and local partners in the public and private sectors.
Through the work conducted under this Program Announcement, CDC
will be in a position to promote and foster an even greater
collaboration with public and private health care providers and state
prevention programs.
C. Funding
Approximately $2,200,000 is available in FY 2004 to fund this
award. It is expected that the award will begin on or before September
1, 2004, and will be made for a 12-month budget period within a project
period of up to 5 years. Funding estimates may change.
