(TCUs), and Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs).
Purpose: The purpose of the program announcement is to assist
organizations which provide support for the advancement of professional
development, education, and research and training for racial and ethnic
minorities. These organizations consist of representatives from member
institutions (medical, dental public health, pharmacy, and/or
veterinarian schools) who work to ensure racial and ethnic parity in
health professions.
[[Page 38684]]
Specifically, the program is intended to assist these organizations to:
1. Build and strengthen institutional infrastructure supporting the
development and implementation of innovative organizational strategies
and effective programs to advance professional development, education,
and research training for racial and ethnic minorities.
2. Improve program and institutional capacity to foster community
leadership development, promote community mobilization strategies and
community resource development, and encourage partnerships and
coalition building.
3. Enhance quantitative and qualitative research efforts of the
participating institutions.
4. Strengthen the educational and professional development of
minority health professionals and educators.
5. Support student training initiatives, in order to introduce
public health to racial and ethnic minority students.
This program addresses the ``Healthy People 2010'' focus area(s) of
Educational and Community-Based Programs and Public Health
Infrastructure. This program also addresses the performance of
executive agency actions under Executive Orders 13256, 13230, and 13270
in order to advance the development of the Nation's full human
potential and to advance equal opportunity in higher education, to
strengthen the capacity of HBCUs, HSIs, and TCUs, respectively, to
provide the highest quality education, and to increase opportunities
for these institutions to participate in and benefit from Federal
programs.
Measurable outcomes of the program will be in alignment with one
(or more) of the following performance goal(s) for the Office of
Minority Health:
Goal 1: Prepare disadvantaged minority medical, veterinary,
pharmacy, and graduate students for careers in public health.
Goal 2: Support HBCUs, HSIs, and TCUs by increasing the number of
funding mechanisms and the number of minority-serving institutions
receiving support.
This announcement is only for non-research activities supported by
CDC/ATSDR. If research is proposed, the application will not be
reviewed. For the definition of research, please see the CDC Web site
