Project Grant to the National Tuberculosis Controllers
Association
SUMMARY: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announces
the availability of fiscal year (FY) 1995 grant funds for a sole source
grant to the National Tuberculosis Controllers Association (NTCA).
Approximately $150,000 is available in FY 1995 to fund this grant. The
award is expected to begin on or about September 30, 1995, for a 12-
month budget period within a five year project period. The funding
estimate is subject to change. Continuation awards within the project
period will be made on the basis of satisfactory progress and the
availability of funds.
The purpose of this grant is to assist NTCA in developing,
establishing, and coordinating systems and procedures to enhance the
role of State and local health department tuberculosis (TB) control
officials (TB Controllers), TB Nurse Consultants and other key TB
program staff, in directing efforts to control, prevent, and eventually
eliminate TB in the United States.
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 HIV Infection and Immunization and Infectious
Diseases. (To order a copy of ``Healthy People 2000,'' see the section
``Where to Obtain Additional Information.'')
Authority
This grant is authorized under Section 317E of the Public Health
Service Act (42 U.S.C. 247b-6), as amended. Applicable program
regulations are found in part 51b, subparts A, of Title 42, Code of
Federal Regulations.
Smoke-Free Workplace
The PHS strongly encourages all grant recipients to provide a
smoke-free workplace and to promote the non-use 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 NTCA for this project. No other
applications are solicited.
Eligibility is limited to NTCA because of its existing unique
relationship with the State and local TB Controllers, TB Nurse
Consultants, and other key TB program staff. NTCA is the only national
TB organization whose members are TB Controllers, TB Nurse Consultants,
and other key TB program staff who represent all States and
territories. NTCA was organized in January 1995 to advance the
elimination of TB in the United States through collective, concerted
actions of the officials of State, local, and territorial governments
who are empowered by their jurisdictions with the responsibility for
carrying out programs to control and prevent TB. NTCA's technical
expertise is an asset in the complex and changing environment of front-
line health care delivery.
