Directors of Health Promotion and Education; Notice of Intent to
Fund Single Eligibility Award
A. Purpose
The purpose of this program is to establish, develop, and
coordinate the training, and programs required to build health
promotion and public health education capacity at the state and
territorial level. This will include continuing the strategic planning
process for the Association to strengthen the infrastructure for
assessment of constituent needs to build health education capacity at
the state and territorial level; coordinating capacity at the state and
territorial level; coordinating the annual National Conference on
Health Education and Health Promotion; strengthening collaborations
with national and international level partners; implementing research
to practice demonstration activities; developing continuing education
and distance-based training; developing leadership and training
opportunities; initiating effective communication systems to ensure
translation of national initiatives and research to directors of health
promotion and education; defining the science-base and skill set for
public health practice of health education; and identifying and
monitoring state and national trends impacting effective implementation
of health promotion and education within state health agencies.
The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance number for this program
is 93.945.
B. Eligible Applicant
Assistance will only be provided to the Directors of Health
Promotion and Education (DHPE). No other applications are solicited.
DHPE is the only organization that can provide the services specified
under this announcement. Eligibility is limited to DPHE because of its
unique relationship with the Association of State and Territorial
Health Officials (ASTHO) and other ASTHO affiliates. DHPE is the only
national nonprofit health education organization of which program
directors and staff representing all states and territories are
members. As such, it is uniquely capable, and organized specifically to
serve as a leader and a confer of activities relative to State health
education programs. DHPE has developed unique knowledge and
understanding of the needs and operations of State health agencies.
This affiliation with ASTHO is extremely important for the purposes of
this cooperative agreement. It enables close coordination of national
initiatives, identification of state trends that may impact national
programs, and enables partnering with other state health agency
departments on cross cutting issues. DHPE is the only affiliate whose
primary mission is to promote education and health promotion as core
disciplines of public health practice and to advocate for quality
health education and health promotion programs and strategies to
address the nation's leading health problems. The organization
represents both fields of health promotion and health education, as
opposed to other public health organizations which have a primary focus
on the profession of health education. Health promotion looks more
broadly at public health systems, health policy, environmental change,
and enhances traditional professional development in health education.
C. Funding
Approximately $1,300,000 is available in FY 2005 to fund this
award. It is expected that the award will begin on or before September
30, 2005, and will be made for a 9 \1/2\-month budget period for the
first year, but each subsequent budget period will be 12 months in
length within a project period of up to five years. Funding estimates
may change.
