Communication and Technical Assistance Support for HIV/AIDS
Prevention Programs; 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 for support of CDC HIV related policies and programs by
facilitating communication and problem solving with State and
territorial health department HIV/AIDS Directors and providing
technical assistance (TA) to them. The Catalog of Federal Domestic
Assistance number for this program is 93.941.
B. Eligible Applicant
Assistance will be provided only to the National Alliance of State
and Territorial AIDS Directors (NASTAD). No other applications are
solicited or will be accepted.
NASTAD is the appropriate and only qualified agency to provide the
services specified under this cooperative agreement because:
The activities supported under this cooperative
agreement can only be provided by an organization that formally
represents the interests of the HIV/AIDS Program Directors of State and
territorial health departments.
NASTAD is the only officially established
organization that represents the State and Territorial AIDS Directors
in all 50 States and all U.S. Territories. NASTAD was formed by the
States to represent their interests to other government agencies.
NASTAD draws upon its membership to provide
input on the development and implementation of HIV policies and
programs. It is able to facilitate multi-jurisdictional involvement on
these issues. NASTAD regularly keeps its members informed about
relevant issues.
NASTAD members provide peer-to-peer assistance
on the implementation of new policies and programs. These members share
their experience so other State programs can benefit.
C. Funding
Approximately $1,368,662 is available in FY 2004 to fund this
award. It is expected that the award will begin on or before April 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.
