National Environmental Public Health Tracking Program; Notice of 
Availability of Funds

Addendum

    A notice announcing the availability of Fiscal Year (FY) 2002 funds 
for a cooperative agreement program to support development of a 
National Environmental Public Health Tracking Program was published on 
July 18, 2002, Volume 67, Number 138, pages 47371-47381. The following 
appendix is added to this announcement: Appendix V.
    The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) has 
also recently released a request for proposals ``Linking Chronic 
Disease and Environmental Data Sources''. This is separate from CDC 
Environmental Public Health Tracking Program announcements PA02179, and 
PA02180 (Centers for Excellence in Environmental Public Health 
Tracking). ATSDR will fund two to three projects. The purpose of these 
projects are to conduct research on the potential impact of 
environmental exposures on chronic disease outcomes. If interested in 
learning more about this other funding opportunity, applicants should 
refer to ATSDR's announcement which is posted on CDC's Web site at: 
http://www.cdc.gov/od/pgo/funding/02155.htm. CDC and ATSDR have been 
collaborating on their respective announcements and will continue to 
coordinate these activities at the Federal level.
    In future years, CDC's announcement (PA02179) and ATSDR's 
announcement (PA02155) will be combined and all activities will be 
included in one announcement. Therefore, applicants should be aware of 
the criteria in both announcements. For example, criteria on developing 
systems that are compatible with NEDSS, Bioterrorism, and EPA's 
National Environmental Information Exchange Network will be critical 
for all aspects of tracking.
    For more information, CDC has introduced a new environmental public 
health tracking Web site. It can be accessed at: www.cdc.gov/nceh/tracking.
