Environmental Health Epidemiology Resources Development for 
Mexico and Latin American Countries; Notice of Intent To Fund Single 
Eligibility Award

A. Purpose

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announces the 
intent to fund fiscal year (FY) 2004 funds for a cooperative agreement 
program to continue and strengthen an established environmental health 
epidemiology, environmental health professional training, and 
demonstration and training service delivery program based in a 
university setting in Mexico. The Catalog of Federal Domestic 
Assistance number for this program is 93.283.

B. Eligible Applicant

    Assistance will be provided only to the Instituto Nacional de Salud 
Publica (INSP).
    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.

C. Funding

    Approximately $315,000 is available in FY 2004 to fund this award. 
It is expected that the award will begin on or before September 1, 
2004, and will be made for a 12-month budget period within a project 
period of up to three years. Funding estimates may change.
