Environmental Health Epidemiology Resource Development for Mexico 
and Latin American Countries 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 with the Instituto Nacional de Salud Publica (INSP).This 
program addresses the ``Healthy People 2010'' focus area of 
Environmental Health.
    The purpose of the program is to establish an environmental health 
epidemiology, environmental health professional training, and 
demonstration and training service delivery program based in a 
university setting in Mexico, with the objective to: Measurably improve 
and increase human resource expertise in the field of environmental 
epidemiology and health services delivery, in terms of availability and 
quality of practice, in Mexico and throughout the Latin American and 
Caribbean country region.
    No human subjects research will be supported under this cooperative 
agreement.

B. Eligible Applicant

    Assistance will be provided only to the Instituto Nacional de Salud 
Publica (INSP). No other applications are solicited.
    The INSP, as the national institute of public health of the 
Government of Mexico, is the most appropriate and qualified agency to 
provide the services specified under this cooperative agreement 
because:
    The INSP is a leading environmental health epidemiology teaching 
institution, both at the undergraduate and graduate levels, in Mexico 
and the Latin American and Caribbean country region, and is the only 
public health teaching institution in the region whose mission scope 
covers the entire region.
    The INSP has formal collaborative arrangements with other teaching 
institutions in Mexico, including those located near the Mexico-U.S. 
border, and with those in other countries in the region which provide 
the entre for establishing and maintaining the environmental health 
epidemiology training and demonstration program supported by this 
cooperative agreement.
    The INSP has a highly qualified doctoral and master's level 
teaching staff whose responsibilities include the conduct of programs 
related to the achievement of the environmental health epidemiology and 
fellow training activities which are the intended objectives of this 
cooperative agreement.

    Note: Title 2 of the United States Code, Section 1611, states 
that an organization described in Section 501(c) (4) of the Internal 
Revenue Code 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 $229,000 is available in FY 2001 to support this 
program. It is expected that the award will begin on September 30, 
2001, and will be made for a 12-month budget period within a project 
period of up to five 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.
