Announcement of Cooperative Agreement to the Association of State
and Territorial Directors of Health Promotion and Public Health
Education
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 Association of State and Territorial
Directors of Health Promotion and Public Health Education (ASTDHPPHE)
to build health promotion and public health education. Approximately
$100,000 will be available in FY 1995 to support this project. This
award will begin on or about September 30, 1995, and will be for a 12-
month budget period within a project period of up to 5 years.
[[Page 37644]]
Continuation awards within the project period will be made if progress
is satisfactory and funds are available.
The purpose of this cooperative agreement is to assist the
ASTDHPPHE, a key partner to CDC, in determining and developing the
training, research, and program implementation requirements to build
health promotion and public health education capacity at the State and
territorial level.
The CDC will provide consultation, assistance, and support in
planning, conducting, and evaluating program activities; plan and
conduct the Annual National Conference on Health Promotion and Health
Education; collaborate with the ASTDHPPHE to improve effectiveness in
Managed Care and Worksite Health Promotion; encourage and facilitate
the participation of ASTDHPPHE members in on-site technical assistance
visits; and provide continuing updates on scientific, operational, and
funding developments in the areas of health education and health
promotion.
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 Educational and Community-Based Programs. (For
ordering a copy of ``Healthy People 2000,'' see the section ``Where to
Obtain Additional Information.'')
Authority
This program is authorized under section 317(k)(2), of the Public
Health Service Act, 42 U.S.C. 247b(k)(2), as amended.
Smoke-Free Workplace
The Public Health Service strongly encourages grant recipients to
provide a smoke-free workplace and promote the nonuse of all tobacco
products, and Public Law 103-227, the Pro-Children Act of 1994,
prohibits smoking in certain facilities that receive Federal funds in
which education, library, day care, health care, and early childhood
development services are provided to children.
Eligible Applicant
Assistance will be provided only to the ASTDHPPHE. No other
applications are being solicited. The program announcement and
application kit have been sent to ASTDHPPHE. Eligibility is limited to
ASTDHPPHE since it is the only appropriate and qualified agency that
can provide the services specified under this cooperative agreement.
ASTDHPPHE is the only national nonprofit health education organization
in 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 convener of activities
relative to State health education programs. ASTDHPPHE has a unique
relationship with the Association of State and Territorial Health
Officials (ASTHO) and ASTHO affiliates. It is the only organization
whose primary mission is to promote health 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. ASTDHPPHE
has served as a health education and health promotion policy
development and capacity-building organization since 1946, and
historically has strengthened public health education goals and
objectives. The membership is uniquely diverse and its members, who
provide major leadership to State and territorial categorical health
areas, have strengthened health education and health promotion programs
nationwide.
ASTDHPPHE also provides consultation and technical assistance to
numerous agencies and has liaison relationships with many national
organizations. In this way, the Association is deeply involved in
health education and health promotion program development and
evaluation efforts conducted nationally.
In collaboration with other national organizations, the Association
accomplishes its mission by disseminating information on state-of-the-
art health education and health promotion policies and strategies. The
Association has the established relationships and expertise necessary
to accomplish the requirements of this cooperative agreement. The
unique information exchange among the ASTDHPPHE members and expert
program knowledge provide it with special credibility with national,
private, and voluntary agencies.
