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.
