Announcement of Cooperative Agreement to the Association of State
and Territorial Chronic Disease Program Directors
Summary
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announces the
availability of fiscal year (FY) 1994 funds for a sole source
cooperative agreement with the Association of State and Territorial
Chronic Disease Program Directors (ASTCDPD) to provide State and
national leadership to develop programs for the control and prevention
of chronic disease and to prevent the development of behaviors that
contribute to the development of chronic disease. Approximately
$200,000 is available in FY 1994 to fund this award. It is expected
that the award will begin on or about September 30, 1994, and will be
for a 12-month budget period within a project period of up to 5 years.
This funding estimate may vary and is subject to change. Continuation
awards within the project period will be made on the basis of
satisfactory progress and availability of funds.
The purpose of this cooperative agreement is to assist ASTCDPD to
periodically determine the status of State and local chronic disease
programs and provide appropriate professional expertise to implement
informational and programmatic activities to enhance the delivery of
comprehensive chronic disease prevention and control services.
The CDC will collaborate in designing survey techniques, analyzing
data, and developing informational, educational, and programmatic
approaches to enhance national, State, and local comprehensive chronic
disease programming; designing profiles of ASTCDPD membership and
organizational resources available to assist health care agencies and
organizations; developing communications systems; and providing
scientific and operational updates in the areas of categorical and
comprehensive chronic disease prevention and control.
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 Physical Activity and Fitness, Heart Disease and
Stroke, Nutrition, Diabetes, Cancer, and Tobacco. (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),
[42 U.S.C. 247b(k)(2)] of the Public Health Service Act, 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 ASTCDPD. No other applications
are solicited. The Program Announcement and the application kit have
been sent to ASTCDPD.
Eligibility is limited to ASTCDPD because of its unique
relationship with both the Association of State and Territorial Health
Officials (ASTHO) and State chronic disease prevention and health
promotion programs. ASTCDPD is an affiliate of the ASTHO and is the
officially designated organization to advise and represent the interest
of State health officials in comprehensive chronic disease prevention
and control activities. ASTCDPD is the only national nonprofit chronic
disease organization of which program directors and staff representing
all States and territories are members. ASTCDPD is organized
specifically, to serve as a convener of activities relative to State
chronic disease programs.
The mission of ASTCDPD is to provide State and national leadership
to develop programs for the control and prevention of chronic disease
conditions and to prevent the development of behaviors that contribute
to the development of chronic disease conditions. ASTCDPD is uniquely
capable of analyzing, advising, and fulfilling liaison responsibilities
for comprehensive chronic disease prevention and control activities
among such broad-based specialties as Health Education/Risk Reduction,
Diabetes, Physical Activity and Fitness, Heart Disease and Stroke,
Cancer, Nutrition, and Tobacco. ASTCDPD has served as a policy
development and capacity-building organization in public health matters
since 1988 and has as one of its major objectives the sharing of
information within and between State health departments.
In collaboration with other national organizations, ASTCDPD
accomplishes its mission by disseminating information on chronic
disease program needs and services, recommending and advocating
improved policies and programs. ASTCDPD also provides consultation and
guidance to State programs in the establishment of statewide systems of
coordinated, community-based prevention and individual care for persons
with chronic or disabling conditions, and for persons with limited
access to services. All of these activities are accomplished through
cooperation and collaboration with national, State, and local partners
in the public and private sectors.
Although other organizations may possess some of these abilities
and/or perform some of these roles, no other organization has ASTCDPD's
unique characteristics. ASTCDPD is comprised of State chronic disease
program directors, who are necessary to effectively carry out the
activities entailed in this program.
