Announcement of Cooperative Agreement to the United States
Conference of Mayors
Summary
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announces the
availability of fiscal year (FY) 1995 funds for a sole source
cooperative agreement with the United States Conference of Mayors
(USCM) to continue supporting: an information exchange program among
mayors and other local and State government officials concerning HIV
prevention; HIV prevention program and policy development; and the
provision of technical and financial assistance to community-based
organizations (CBOs), local and State health departments, and others
involved in health promotion and disease prevention activities.
Approximately $2,000,000 will be available in FY 1995 to support this
project, though the funding estimate may change. This award will begin
on or about May 1, 1995, for a 12 month budget period within a 5 year
project period. Continuation awards within the project period will be
made if progress is satisfactory and funds are available.
The CDC will assist in identifying programs, policies, practices,
procedures, and processes pertinent to the program objectives;
collaborate in developing, analyzing, and presenting material for
information dissemination; review and comment on all HIV-related
materials intended for dissemination; and assist in identifying
community planning groups in need of fiscal support.
The Public Health Service (PHS) is committed to achieving the
health promotion and disease prevention objectives of ``Healthy People
2000,'' a PHS-led national activity to reduce morbidity and mortality
and improve the quality of life. This announcement is related to the
priority area of HIV Infection. (For ordering a copy of ``Healthy
People 2000,'' see the section ``Where to Obtain Additional
Information.'')
Authority
This program is authorized under the Public Health Service Act:
Sections 301(a) [42 U.S.C. 241(a)], as amended; and 317 [42 U.S.C.
247b], as amended.
Smoke-Free Workplace
The Public Health Service strongly encourages all grant recipients
to provide a smoke-free workplace and promote the non-use of all
tobacco products. This is consistent with the PHS mission to protect
and advance the physical and mental health of the American people.
Eligible Applicant
Assistance will be provided only to the USCM. No other applications
are solicited. The program announcement and application kit have been
sent to USCM. Eligibility is limited to USCM since it provides
representation from city and local officials, including social
services, education, and other community officials and organizations,
in approximately 1,000 cities with populations of more than 30,000 and,
through its affiliate the United States Conference of Local Health
Officials, provides representation from approximately 2,000 additional
local health officials. USCM was created specifically to represent this
wide variety of local organizations and community officials to the
Federal government and other national organizations and is unique in
its role as a liaison between these officials. It has served as a
policy-development and capacity-building organization in
intergovernmental affairs for more than 60 years and has as one of its
major objectives the sharing of information between local governments.
USCM has established a unique HIV prevention program that brings
together, at the local level, the key players responding to the
Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) crisis: mayors, local health
department (LHD) [[Page 4919]] officials, and representatives of
community-based organizations and affected communities. Currently,
there are three major components of the USCM HIV/AIDS program: (1)
Collaborative HIV/AIDS Prevention Grants; (2) Research and Technical
Assistance; and (3) Community Planning Case Profiles. Through these
programs, USCM: (1) Provides financial and technical support to LHDs
and CBOs who work together to implement high priority HIV prevention
interventions which have been identified in previous needs assessments;
(2) analyzes and disseminates information and provides technical
assistance to local and State governments, health departments, and CBOs
on innovative and effective HIV prevention-related policies and
programs; and (3) assists CDC in its assessment of the HIV prevention
community planning process.
