A. Purpose

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announces the 
availability of fiscal year (FY) 1999 funds for a cooperative agreement

[[Page 11916]]

program for organizations serving racial and ethnic minority 
populations at increased risk for infant mortality, diabetes, 
cardiovascular diseases, HIV, deficits in breast and cervical cancer 
screening and management services, or deficits in child or adult 
immunization rates.
    The applicant must be the lead organization, or central 
collaborating organization, for a community coalition of three (3) or 
more organizations, focusing on minority health concerns. The lead 
organization will serve as leader, catalyst, facilitator, and 
coordinator. The lead organization must have direct fiduciary 
responsibility over the administration and management of the project 
and will distribute funds to other partners in the coalition as 
appropriate.
    The Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health (REACH) 
Demonstration Projects are two-phase projects whose purpose is for 
communities to mobilize and organize their resources in support of 
effective and sustainable programs which will eliminate the health 
disparities of racial and ethnic minorities.
    The REACH Demonstration Projects are a Department of Health and 
Human Services initiative in response to the President's Initiative on 
Race. The REACH Demonstration Projects will test science-based 
community level interventions which could be effective in eliminating 
health disparities, with the goal of replicating their successes in 
other communities.
    Phase I is a 12-month planning Phase to organize and prepare 
infrastructure for Phase II. Cooperative agreements in Phase I will 
support the planning and development of demonstration programs using a 
collaborative multi-agency and community participation model. Phase I 
may also include the collection of data necessary to develop baseline 
measures for assessing the outcomes of the projects. Upon completion of 
Phase I, grantees will have utilized appropriate data and developed a 
Community Action Plan (CAP) designed to reduce the level of disparity 
within the selected communities in one or more of the six priority 
areas of complications of diabetes, deficits in breast and cervical 
cancer screening and management, deficits in child and adult 
immunizations, cardiovascular diseases, HIV, or infant mortality. The 
CAP must target a specific racial or ethnic minority community that is 
African American, American Indian or Alaska Native, Hispanic American, 
Asian American, or Pacific Islander. Communities or groups which cannot 
be specified under these categories will not be considered. Only 
applicants selected for Phase I will be eligible to compete for 
additional funds to implement and evaluate the demonstration program of 
Phase II.
    Phase II is the implementation of a demonstration project of 
specified interventions for a specified priority areas(s), for a well 
defined minority population. Phase Ii also involves appropriate 
evaluations of interventions and outcomes of the project.
    CDC is committed to achieving the health promotion and disease 
prevention objectives of the Department of Health and Human Services' 
Initiative to Eliminate Racial and Ethnic Health Disparities, Healthy 
People 2000, and Healthy People 2010 a nationwide strategy to reduce 
morbidity and mortality and improve the quality of life. This 
announcement relates to the Healthy People 2000 and Healthy People 2010 
priority areas of infant mortality, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, 
HIV, cancer screening and prevention, and immunizations specifically 
pertaining to a racial or ethnic minority community that is African 
American, American Indian, Alaska Native, Hispanic American, Asian 
American, or Pacific Islander.

in lobbying activities is not eligible to receive Federal funds 
constituting an award, grant, cooperative agreement, contract, loan, 
or any other form.

C. Availability of Funds

    In FY 1999, CDC expects to provide up to $9,400,000 for funding 
approximately 30 Phase I cooperative agreements. It is expected that 
the awards will begin on or about September 30, 1999 and will be made 
for a 12-month budget period. Only Phase I recipients which 
successfully compete for Phase II awards may anticipate and additional 
four years of funding (for a total project period of five (5) years for 
Phase I and Phase II). Funding estimates, and continuation of awards, 
may change based on the availability of funds.
    Approximately $30 million may be available to fund approximately 
15-20 Phase II cooperative agreements. Criteria for selection of Phase 
II grantees are:
    1. Extent to which Phase I requirements were met.
    2. Appropriate definition of the level of health disparity among 
the target population and the extent of the disparity.
    3. Potential for proposed interventions to affect the priority 
area(s).
    4. Extent of inclusion of community participants and partners. 
Awardee will specifically be evaluated on their ability to recruit and 
maintain appropriate community and public/private collaborators.
    5. The potential for community action plans to assure 
sustainability of the effort.
    6. The potential for the community action plans to leverage 
additional public and/or private resources to support the overall 
prevention effort.
    7. The appropriateness and thoroughness of the evaluation process 
to assess the impact and effectiveness of the project intervention in 
the community. (Standard performance measures to be provided in 
addendum).
    8. The appropriateness and thoroughness of the data collection 
infrastructure that is planned for and developed for the demonstration 
project.
    Should additional funding become available in the future, a new 
announcement will be issued and grantees funded under Phase I of this 
announcement, but not funded for Phase II, will receive preference for 
funding under the new announcement.

Use of Funds

    Under this program announcement, funds may not be used for data 
collection or research until Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval 
is obtained. Funds may be restricted until appropriate IRB clearances 
and procedures are in place.
    Funds may not be used to support direct patient medical care, or 
facilities construction in Phase I or Phase II, or to supplant or 
duplicate existing funding.
    Although applicants may contract with other organizations under 
these cooperative agreements, applicants must perform a substantial 
portion of the activities (including program management and operations) 
for which funds are requested.

Funding Preferences

    Geographic distribution among communities across the United States, 
diversity in priority areas, and racial/ethnic diversity will be 
funding considerations. Each applicant may submit only one application, 
and only one award will be made per geographically-defined community. A 
community will not be eligible for multiple awards for different 
priority areas. However, applications addressing related priority areas 
(e.g. diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, HIV and infant mortality, 
etc.) will be considered.
