American Indian/Alaska Native Core Capacity Building Programs; 
Notice of Availability of Funds

A. Purpose

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announces the 
availability of fiscal year (FY) 2001 funds for a cooperative agreement 
program for American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) Core Capacity 
Building Programs. This program addresses the ``Healthy People 2010'' 
focus areas of Maternal, Infant, and Child Health, Cancer, Heart 
Disease and Stroke, Diabetes, Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), and 
Immunization and Infectious Diseases.
    The purpose of the program is for AI/AN Communities to build core 
capacity and augment existing programs to reduce disparities in health 
outcomes for one or more of the designated health priority areas. In 
addition, the funding will be provided to AI/AN communities that 
demonstrate need based on high prevalence and related morbidity and 
mortality and have limited infrastructure and resources to address 
health disparities.
    ``Core capacity'' is defined as the development of infrastructure 
and support strategies, including networking, partnership formation, 
and coalition building to raise and maintain community awareness and 
support, as well as national awareness of the health priority area 
needs of AI/AN populations. Core capacity programs include basic health 
promotion, disease prevention and control functions, ability to capture 
data, program coordination related to primary and secondary prevention, 
scientific capacity, training and technical assistance, and culturally 
competent intervention strategies for addressing the health priority 
area needs of AI/AN populations.

Background

    In 1997, President Clinton committed the nation to an ambitious 
goal by the year 2010 to eliminate disparities in health status 
experienced by racial and ethnic minority populations in key areas, 
while continuing the progress we have achieved in improving the overall 
health of the American people. In support of this effort, the 
Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) identified six health 
priority areas in which racial and ethnic minorities experience serious 
health disparities: Infant Mortality, Deficits in Breast and Cervical 
Cancer Screening and Management, Cardiovascular Diseases, Diabetes, 
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Infections/Acquired Immunodeficiency 
Syndrome (AIDS), and Deficits in Child and/or Adult Immunizations. On 
behalf of the DHHS-wide collaborative effort, the Centers for Disease 
Control and Prevention (CDC) is coordinating and managing a major 
component of activities to support this initiative.

B. Eligible Applicants

    Eligible applicants are federally recognized AI/AN tribal 
governments and corporations, non-federally recognized tribes and other 
organizations that qualify under the Indian Civil Rights Act, State 
Charter Tribes, Urban Indian Health Programs, Indian Health Boards, 
Inter-Tribal Councils, and other tribal organizations, including urban 
and eligible inter-tribal consortia.
    Tribal organizations, inter-tribal consortia, and urban 
organizations are eligible if incorporated for the primary purpose of 
improving AI/AN health and represent such interests for the tribes, 
Alaska Native Villages and corporations, or urban Indian communities 
located in its region. AI/AN tribes or urban communities represented 
may be located in one state or in multiple states. An urban 
organization is defined as a non-profit corporate body situated in an 
urban center eligible for services under Title V of the Indian Health 
Care Improvement Act, PL 94-437, as amended.

Minimal Requirements

1. Application
    The application must target American Indian or Alaska Native 
communities and must address one or more of the following six health 
priority area(s): Infant Mortality, Deficits in Breast and Cervical 
Cancer Screening and Management, Cardiovascular Diseases, Diabetes, 
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Infections/Acquired Immunodeficiency 
Syndrome (AIDS), and Deficits in Child and/or Adult Immunizations. 
Activities for health priority areas that are not under these 
categories will not be considered.
2. Tax-exempt Status
    For those applicants applying as a private, non-profit 
organization, proof of tax-exempt status must be provided with the 
application. Tax-exempt status is determined by the Internal Revenue 
Service (IRS) Code, Section 501(c)(3). Any of the following is 
acceptable evidence:
    a. A reference to the organization's listing in the IRS's most 
recent list of

[[Page 28169]]

tax-exempt organizations described in section 501(c)(3) of the IRS 
Code.
    b. A copy of a currently valid IRS tax-exemption certificate.
    c. A statement from a state taxing body, State Attorney General, or 
other appropriate state official certifying that the applicant 
organization has a non-profit status and that none of the net earnings 
accrue to any private shareholders or individuals.
    d. A certified copy of the organizations's certificate of 
incorporation or similar document if it clearly establishes the non-
profit status of the organization.
    Competition is limited to those identified under ``Eligible 
Applicants'', because of the problems posed by high prevalence, 
morbidity and mortality for Infant Mortality, Deficits in Breast and 
Cervical Cancer Screening and Management, Cardiovascular Diseases, 
Diabetes, Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Infections/Acquired 
Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS), Deficits in Child and/or Adult 
Immunizations, and the unique challenges faced by this population.

    Note: Title 2 of the United States code, Chapter 26 Section 1611 
states that an organization described in section 501 (c)(4) of the 
Internal Revenue Code of 1986 that engages 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

    Approximately $1,500,000 is available in FY 2001 to fund 
approximately five to seven awards. It is expected that the average 
award will be $250,000, ranging from $200,000 to $300,000. It is 
expected that the awards will begin on or about September 30, 2001, and 
will be made for a 12-month budget period within a project period of up 
to three years. Funding estimates may change.
    Continuation awards within an approved project period will be made 
on the basis of satisfactory progress as evidenced by required reports 
and the availability of funds.

1. Use of Funds

    Assistance under this award may consist of developing culturally 
competent health promotion and disease intervention strategies, 
building scientific capacity, providing training and technical 
assistance, and facilitating networking and partnership development, 
including promoting collaboration with other tribes, national/regional 
organizations (e.g., Indian Health Boards, Inter-Tribal Councils, 
etc.), other health organizations (e.g., hospitals, Indian Health 
Service and Tribal Health Clinics, foundations, National Diabetes 
Association, etc.), state/local health departments, the Indian Health 
Service and other Federal government agencies, and other appropriate 
partners (e.g., business associations, faith-based organizations, 
etc.).
    Applicants will not be eligible for multiple awards for different 
health priority areas. However, applications addressing related health 
priority areas (e.g., cardiovascular diseases and diabetes, HIV 
infection/AIDS and infant mortality, etc.) that have a logical 
relationship due to common risk factors will be considered.
    Funds may not be used to support direct patient medical care, 
facilities construction, to supplant or duplicate existing funding, or 
to fund activities for human subjects research.
    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.
Pre-Application Telephone Conference
    Applicants are invited by CDC to participate in a pre-application 
technical assistance telephone conference May 24, 2001, from 1 p.m. to 
3 p.m., Eastern Standard Time to discuss: programmatic issues regarding 
this program, how to apply, and questions regarding the content of the 
Program Announcement. This telephone conference is expected to last two 
hours. The conference name is American Indian/Alaska Native. The 
telephone bridge number for Federal participants is 404 639-3277; for 
non-Federal participants call 1-800-311-3437. Participants will need to 
enter the following conference code when prompted to be connected: code 
112686.

2. Funding Preference

    Each applicant may submit only one application. Geographic 
distribution among applicants and diversity in health priority areas 
may be funding considerations. Applicants should describe the 
geographic boundaries and make-up of the area for which it is applying. 
Applicants from the same geographic area are encouraged to collaborate. 
In addition, a community will not be eligible for multiple awards for 
different health priority areas. However, applications addressing 
related health priority areas (e.g., cardiovascular diseases and 
diabetes; HIV infection/AIDS and infant mortality) will be considered.
    Should both a tribal organization and an individual tribe that is 
currently a member of that organization become award recipients, CDC 
may choose to ensure that no duplication of effort within the scope of 
work authorized in this Program Announcement will be conducted within 
the same target community.

D. Program Requirements

    In conducting activities to achieve the purpose of this program, 
the recipient will be responsible for the activities under 1. 
(Recipient Activities), and CDC will be responsible for the activities 
listed under 2. (CDC activities). All Recipient and CDC Activities 
authorized under this Program Announcement are expected to be completed 
by the end of the three-year project period.

1. Recipient Activities for Core Capacity Building Programs During the 
Three-Year Project Period

    a. Develop/enhance scientific capacity in epidemiology, statistics, 
surveillance, and data analysis from new or existing data systems 
(e.g., vital statistics, hospital discharges, Indian Health Service 
(IHS) data sets, National Health and Examination Survey (NHANES), 
Survey of American Indians/Alaska Natives, Behavioral Risk Factor 
Surveillance System (BRFSS), etc.) to correctly identify the AI/AN 
population(s) and existing health disparity and to monitor the 
effectiveness of public health interventions targeting these groups. 
Scientific capacity should include, but not be limited to, efforts to 
determine:
    (1) Disease trends, including age of onset of disease, age at 
death, etc.;
    (2) Geographic distribution of related health priority area 
disparities;
    (3) Behavioral, social, or ecological risk factors related to the 
occurrence of disease;
    (4) Ways to integrate systems to provide comprehensive data needed 
for assessing and monitoring the health of populations and program 
outcomes. Monitoring and program evaluation are considered essential 
components of building scientific capacity. Scientific capacity may 
also extend to developing access to outside databases, such as medical 
care and access to laboratory capacity consistent with the overall 
direction of the program.
    b. Develop a Community Capacity Plan (CCP). Develop and implement a 
Community Capacity Plan, which includes specific objectives for 
building capacity to reduce disparities in health outcomes for selected 
health priority area(s)and related risk factors.

[[Page 28170]]

    The plan should consider culturally appropriate behavioral, policy, 
and community approaches to reducing morbidity and mortality for the 
selected health priority area(s).
    The CCP should include, but not be limited to, understanding the 
context, causes, and solutions for the health disparity; community 
needs assessment to identify and develop training and technical 
assistance; forming partnerships and engaging in community planning; 
accumulating resources; plans to develop and implement a culturally 
appropriate intervention(s) believed to bring about desired effects; 
planning community and systems changes that alter the environmental 
context within which individuals and groups behave; and documenting 
changes in knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, or behaviors among 
influential individuals or groups, with an intent of diffusing similar 
changes to a broader community population. For additional information 
regarding the CCP, please refer to Appendix I.
    c. Evaluation Plan. Design and implement an evaluation plan to 
track and measure process and progress in developing a core capacity 
program. The plan should address measures considered critical to 
determine the readiness or ability of the AI/AN Community and its 
members to take action aimed at protective behaviors or changing risk, 
transforming community conditions and systems so that a supportive 
context exists to sustain behavior changes over time. In addition, the 
plan should include time-specific objectives which account for the 
major activities of the Community Capacity Plan, the means of tracking 
and measuring the collaborative work with partners, and any other 
relevant process measures. Time lines, objectives, and other supporting 
documentation should be included in the evaluation plan.

2. CDC Activities for the Three-Year Project

    a. In collaboration with the recipient, provide appropriate 
training on developing prevention strategies (e.g., building scientific 
capacity, collaboration and partnerships, implementing guidelines and 
model programs on disease prevention, etc.), which prepare tribes to 
mobilize and engage in prevention initiatives for the health priority 
area(s) selected.
    b. Provide technical assistance through conference calls, resource 
material, training, and updated information, as needed. Facilitate 
communications locally, regionally, and nationally regarding resources 
and other opportunities involving capacity building activities. In 
addition, provide technical assistance through site visits.
    c. Participate in the evaluation of activities and initiatives, 
including annual site visits.
