Fiscal Year 1994 Preventive Health Services; Addendum to Program
Announcement 305; Cooperative Agreements for National/Regional Minority
Organization HIV/STD Prevention, Immunization, and TB Projects
Summary
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announces the
availability of fiscal year (FY) 1994 supplemental funds for current
awardees of the National/Regional Minority Organizations (NRMO) program
to provide technical assistance and training to community planning
groups and the State and local health departments working with them to
facilitate representation, inclusiveness, and parity in the
implementation of HIV-prevention community planning. This competitive
announcement is an addendum to Federal Register (FR) Notice 305,
published in the Federal Register on June 4, 1993 [58 FR 31721], in
which current recipients are collaborating with community organizations
and health agencies to coordinate technical assistance and training
programs that serve racial and ethnic minority populations.
Approximately $750,000 is expected to be available for a one-time award
in FY 1994 to supplement up to 5 cooperative agreements. The awards are
not expected to exceed $150,000 each and will not be funded beyond the
current budget period. It is expected that these supplemental awards
will be made on or about February 28, 1994.
The purpose of this addendum to Program Announcement 305 is to
provide State and local health departments and other community
organizations with the necessary technical assistance and training to:
(1) Assure that inclusion, representation, and parity occur in the
community planning process; and (2) Enhance selection processes for
equitable representation in HIV prevention planning activities, thereby
enhancing the capacity of affected communities and non-governmental
organizations to participate effectively and equally in the planning
process.
The CDC shall be responsible for coordinating all requests for
technical assistance and training between the NRMO and the community
organizations (via State and local health departments) that are
requiring the technical assistance; providing consultation and
technical assistance in planning, operating, and evaluating program
activities under this announcement; assisting in developing plans for
evaluation of all program activities and services and interpreting
evaluation findings; assisting successful applicants in collaborating
with State and local health departments and other PHS grantees;
facilitating the transfer of successful prevention interventions and
program models to other areas; monitoring the successful applicant's
program activities, protection of client confidentiality, and
compliance with other requirements; and facilitating the exchange of
program information and technical assistance among community
organizations, health departments, and NRMOs.
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 areas of Educational and Community-Based Programs, HIV
Infection, Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs), and Immunization and
Infectious Diseases. (To order a copy of ``Healthy People 2000,'' see
the section entitled ``Where to Obtain Additional Information.'')
