    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announces the 
award of fiscal year (FY) 2002 funds for a cooperative agreement 
program for the Development and Support of Core Public Health Functions 
Related to Injury Prevention and Control.
    The purpose of the program is to assist the State and Territorial 
Injury Prevention Directors' Association (STIPDA) to determine and

surveillance, program implementation, and evaluation needs required to 
build or expand injury prevention and control capacity at the State and

focus areas of Injury and Violence Prevention.

B. Eligible Applicant

    Assistance is provided only to (STIPDA). No other applications were 
solicited.
    Eligibility is limited to STIPDA because of its unique relationship 
with State public health injury programs and with State public health 
officers. STIPDA is the only national nonprofit organization comprised 
of public health injury directors representing all States and 
territories. Voting membership in STIPDA is restricted to one injury 
director for each State, with this director designated by the State 
health officer. Therefore, STIPDA, is the only organization officially 
representing the injury perspectives of each State's health officer.
    STIPDA is the only organization whose primary mission is to 
promote, sustain, and enhance the ability of State and territorial 
public health departments to reduce death and disability associated 
with injuries. STIPDA has direct access to it's own membership of State 
and territorial injury prevention and control staff and, therefore, has 
the capacity to meet the objectives of this agreement.
    STIPDA also provides consultation and technical assistance to 
numerous agencies and has liaison relationships with national 
organizations. In this way, STIPDA is deeply involved in injury 
prevention and control program development and evaluation efforts that 
are conducted nationally.
    In collaboration with other national organizations, STIPDA 
accomplishes its mission in part by disseminating information on state-
of-the-art injury prevention and control policies and strategies. The 
unique information exchange among STIPDA members and resident expert 
program knowledge provide it with special credibility with national, 
local, private, and voluntary agencies.

C. Funds

    Approximately $493,898 is being awarded in FY 2002. The award will 
begin on or about September 30, 2002, and will be made for a 12-month 
budget period within a project period of one year.
