I. Funding Opportunity Description
Authority: This program is authorized under Sections 311,
317(k)(2), and 317C of the Public Health Service Act, (42 U.S.C.
243, 247b(k)(2), and 247b-4) as amended.
Purpose: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
announces the availability of fiscal year (FY) 2005 funds for
cooperative agreements for State implementation projects for preventing
secondary conditions and promoting the health of persons with
disabilities. This program addresses the ``Healthy People 2010'' focus
area(s) of Disability and Secondary Conditions.
The purpose of this program is to support States in preventing
secondary conditions in persons with disabilities and in implementing
effective health promotion and wellness programs for persons with
disabilities. This announcement is comprised of two levels of
cooperative agreements:
Level II--State Implementation Projects
Level III--State Infrastructure Development Projects
Measurable outcomes of the program will be in alignment with one
(or more) of the following performance goal(s) for the National Center
on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities: Improve the health and
quality of life of Americans with disabilities.
Activities: Activities for Levels II and III: Note that items (a)
through (e) relate to activities for both Level II and III State
applicants. Items (f) and (g) below relate only to Level II State
applicants.
(a) Establish the organizational location and focus for the project
within the applicant agency and engage key collaborators (e.g.,
disability service organizations, advocacy groups, universities) in the
design and attainment of program goals and objectives.
(b) Expand or develop an advisory function comprised of key
partners representing the disability community. The advisory group will
contribute to the policy and planning functions of the applicant. At
least 30 percent of the advisory membership must have a disabling
condition.
(c) Collect and analyze data using survey questions in the
Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) or other survey
instruments.
(d) Investigate and document the process (to be or already)
established of gaining access to or obtaining information from
administrative data within the State to plan and implement activities
to prevent secondary conditions and improve the health of people with
disabilities to which the data relate.
(e) Disseminate health promotion information through diverse and
innovative marketing plans.
(f) Plan, implement and evaluate over the project period health
promotion interventions related to Chapter 6 objectives in Healthy
People 2010 or the leading health indicators for people with
disabilities.
(g) Promote and help develop strategic planning instruments that
will influence State-level public health and health promotion
activities such as Healthy People 2010 objectives.
In a cooperative agreement, CDC staff is substantially involved in
the program activities, above and beyond routine grant monitoring.
CDC Activities for this program are as follows:
Provide scientific and programmatic TA as requested or
indicated in the planning and conduct of disability data collection,
communications, and health promotion activities.
Provide a point of referral and coordination for State,
regional and/or national data pertinent to the disabling process.
[[Page 64063]]
Provide assistance to States in regard to BRFSS, or other
survey-based sources of data.
Facilitate coordination with other federal statistical
research and data resources.
Assist State projects in their development of program
evaluation measures and processes.
II. Award Information
Type of Award: Cooperative Agreement. CDC involvement in this
program is listed in the Activities Section above.
Fiscal Year Funds: 2005.
Approximate Total Funding: $2,500,000. (This amount is an estimate,
and is subject to availability of funds.)
Approximate Number of Awards: 9-11.
Approximate Average Award: $280,000 for Level II; $125,000 for
Level III. (These amounts are for the first 12-month budget period, and
includes both direct and indirect costs.)
Floor of Award Range: $175,000 for Level II; $125,000 for Level
III.
Ceiling of Award Range: $360,000 for Level II; $150,000 for Level
III.
Anticipated Award Date: April 1, 2005.
Budget Period Length: 12 months.
Project Period Length: Two years.
Level II: CDC anticipates making up to 7 awards for projects which
will be designated as Level II states. Funding constraints dictate that
no more than one of the eligible states will receive an award at the
$360,000 level. The average award for remaining states eligible as a
Level II applicant will be $280,000. Requests for Level II awards in
excess of $360,000 will be considered as non-responsive and will be
returned to the applicant. The major criteria for Level II awards will
be that intervention programs for persons with disabilities are
established and being implemented within the agency jurisdiction and
constituency served.
Level III: CDC anticipates making up to 4 awards for projects which
will be designated as Level III states. It is expected that Level III
awards will average $125,000 with no award to be made in excess of
$150,000. Requests for Level III awards in excess of $150,000 will be
considered as non-responsive and will be returned to the applicant.
Funding for Level III projects is designed to develop State
infrastructure, and short-term implementation of intervention
activities is not required.
Throughout the project period, CDC's commitment to continuation of
awards will be conditioned on the availability of funds, evidence of
satisfactory progress by the recipient (as documented in required
reports), and the determination that continued funding is in the best
interest of the Federal Government.
III. Eligibility Information
III.1. Eligible Applicants
Assistance will be provided to the health departments of States or
their bona fide agents or designees, including the District of
Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, the
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, Guam,
federally recognized Indian tribal governments, the Federated States of
Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Republic of
Palau.
Eligibility is also extended to agencies and organizations other
than the official health department. In those cases, these entities
must provide written concurrence from that health agency and describe
the proposed collaborative relationship. Under that circumstance, the
role of the official State health agency must be shown to be
complementary, collaborative, and demonstrate clearly defined
programmatic commitments and obligations.
Only one application from each State or Territory may be submitted.
The agency determined to be the applicant for the State may apply for
more than one Level (i.e. Level II or Level III) of funding under the
eligibility requirements for each. Once that agency is determined, no
other agency within that State can submit an application for any other
Level of funding. However, a complete and separate application must be
submitted from that same applicant agency/entity based on the program
requirements and evaluation criteria for that component (Level) of this
announcement. Only one award will be issued per State.
States are considered the most appropriate applicants since the
national goals of this program include developing capacity in all
States and their delivery systems to monitor, characterize, and improve
the health of people with disabilities and prevent secondary
conditions.
Two levels of cooperative agreements will be awarded:
Level II: Eligible applicants for Level II funding are States
currently funded under CDC PA 02007, State Implementation Projects for
Preventing Secondary Conditions and Promoting the Health of People with
Disabilities. Eligible states include Arkansas, California, Illinois,
Massachusetts, Montana, New Jersey, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, and
Virginia. In addition, eligible applicants include the District of
Columbia, all States, federally recognized Indian Tribes and United
States Territories.
To be eligible, applicants for Level II must also provide:
(a) The State Plan for Disability and Health. The Plan can be in
final form or in the process of final review.
(b) An established and functioning disability and health advisory
component of which at least 30 percent of the members are people with
disabilities. The advisory group contributes to the policy and planning
functions of the applicant. A listing of the advisory committee
membership with their areas of expertise and interest is to be provided
and certified by the committee/council chairperson, with an indication
only as to the number of persons with disabilities within that group.
A copy of the State Plan and the composition and function statement
of the Advisory Council must be provided as attachments to the
application.
Level III: Eligible applicants for Level III funding are the
District of Columbia, all States, federally recognized Indian Tribes
and United States Territories regardless of their current CDC
Disability and Health Program funding status.
CDC will conduct a conference call November 16, 2004 with
prospective applicants to answer questions regarding this announcement.
If you wish to participate, contact by e-mail the official noted for
Program TA in the ``Agency Contacts'' section of this announcement
