Chronic Diseases by State Health Officials; 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 support The Association of State and Territorial Health 
Officials (ASTHO) in the development and sustainment of effective 
public healthy policies and programs to prevent and control chronic 
diseases, promote healthy behaviors, and strengthen the outreach and 
capacity of state health agencies. The Catalog of Federal Domestic 
Assistance number for this program is 93.283.

B. Eligible Applicant

    Assistance will be provided only to ASTHO. ASTHO is the only 
national non-profit organization that represents all state and 
territorial public health officials. ASTHO was created specifically to 
represent this group of state agencies to the federal government and 
other national organizations and is unique in its role as a liaison 
among these officials. It has served as a capacity-building 
organization in public health matters for many years and one of its 
major objectives is the sharing of information among state health 
departments. Historically, ASTHO has

played a vital role in assisting state health departments in the 
development and implementation of programs and policies to promote 
health and prevent disease.

C. Funding

    Approximately $555,000 is available in FY 2004 to fund this award. 
It is expected that the award will begin on or before August 1, 2004,

of up to three years. Funding estimates may change.
