I. Funding Opportunity Description

    Authority:
    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) program is 
authorized under section 317(k) (2) (c) and (d) of the Public Health 
Service Act, [42 U.S.C. 247b (k) (2) (c) and (d)].
    Purpose:
    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announce the 
pending availability of appropriated fiscal year (FY) 2005 funds for 
National Center for the Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion 
Conference Support Program. This program addresses the ``Healthy People 
2010'' focus areas of Arthritis, Osteoporosis, and Chronic Back 
Conditions, Cancer, Diabetes, Educational and Community-Based Programs, 
Heart Disease and Stroke, Maternal, Infant and Child Health, Vision and 
Newborn Hearing (specifically newborn screening, evaluation and 
intervention), Oral Health, Physical Activity and Fitness, Respiratory 
Diseases, Sexually Transmitted Diseases, and Tobacco Use.
    HIV Conferences and HIV subject matter are covered under another 
program and are not permitted under this announcement.
    The purpose of conference support funding is to provide partial 
support for specific non-Federal conferences in the areas of health 
promotion and disease prevention information and education programs, 
and applied research.
    Applicants can submit applications for conferences that are not a 
part of series for a one-year project period or an applicant can submit 
a proposal for a five year project period when a series of annual 
conferences are proposed by a sponsoring organization. The applicant 
can submit applications on an annual basis for up to five years for a 
series of conferences or the applicant can submit one application for 
five years of proposed activities. A series is proposed as the exact 
same focus area within the scope of the program announcement conducted 
more than one time during the project period. An applicant can apply 
for funding for more than one different conference during the project 
period. Each application must focus on one topic area.
    Conference support by CDC creates the appearance of CDC co-
sponsorship, where there will be active participation by CDC in the 
development and approval of the conference agenda to make sure there 
are no subjects that would be contradictory to the goals of the 
Government or be an improper use of funds. CDC funds will be expended 
only for approved portions of the conference.
    The mission of CDC is to promote health and improve the quality of 
life by preventing and controlling disease, injury, and disability.
    This is occurring through the support of conferences and meetings 
in the areas of public health research, education, prevention research 
in program and policy development in managed care and also through 
prevention application. CDC is meeting its overall goal of 
dissemination and implementation of new cost-effective intervention 
strategies.
    Measurable outcomes of the program will be in alignment with one or 
more of the following performance goal(s) for the National Center for 
Chronic Disease Prevention and Promotion: (1) Increase early detection 
of breast and cervical cancer by building nationwide programs in breast 
and cervical cancer prevention,

[[Page 64058]]

especially among high-risk, underserved women. (2) Expand community-
based breast and cervical cancer screening and diagnostic services to 
low income, medically underserved women. For women diagnosed with 
cancer or pre-cancer, ensure access to treatment services. (3) Reduce 
cigarette smoking among youth. (4) Support prevention research to 
develop sustainable and transferable community-based behavioral 
interventions. (5) Increase the capacity of state cardiovascular health 
programs to address prevention of cardiovascular disease at the 
community level. (6) Reduce death and disability due to heart disease 
and stroke and eliminate disparities. (7) Increase the capacity of 
state diabetes control programs to address the prevention of diabetes 
and its complications at the community level. (8) Improve the quality 
of state-based cancer registries. (9) Help states monitor the 
prevalence of major behavioral risks associated with premature 
morbidity and mortality in adults to improve the planning, 
implementation, and evaluation of health promotion and disease 
prevention programs. (10) Decrease levels of obesity, or reduce the 
rate of growth of obesity, in communities through nutrition and 
physical interventions. (See Attachment I for the specific topic areas 
as posted at the CDC Web site, at, www.cdc.gov, Click on ``Funding'' 
then ``Grants and Cooperative Agreements'', and then locate the 
specific topic areas for this announcement.)
    This announcement is only for non-research activities supported by 
CDC. If research is proposed, the application will not be reviewed and 
the application will be returned to the applicant. For the definition 
of research, please see the CDC Web site at the following Internet 
address: http://www.cdc.gov/od/ads/opspoll1.htm.
    Activities:
    In conducting activities to achieve the purpose of this program, 
the recipient will be responsible for the following activities:
     The conference organizer(s) may use CDC's name only in 
accurate public relations for the conference, meaning information that 
is true and factual. CDC involvement in the conference does not 
necessarily indicate support for the organizer's general policies, 
activities, products, or the content of speakers' presentations.
     All conferences co-sponsored under this announcement shall 
be held in facilities that are fully accessible to the public as 
required by the Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility 
Guidelines (ADAAG) (Does not apply to international conferences). 
Accessibility under ADAAG addresses accommodations for persons with 
sensory impairments as well as persons with physical disabilities or 
mobility limitations.
     Manage all activities related to program content (e.g., 
objectives, topics, attendees, session design, workshops, special 
exhibits, speaker's fees, agenda composition, and printing). Many of 
these items may be developed in concert with assigned CDC project 
personnel.
     Provide draft copies of the agenda and proposed ancillary 
activities to CDC for approval. All but ten percent of the total funds 
awarded for the proposed conference will be initially restricted 
pending approval of a full, final agenda by CDC. The remaining 90 
percent of funds will be released by letter to the grantee upon the 
approval of the final agenda. Because conference support by CDC creates 
the appearance of CDC co-sponsorship, there will be active 
participation by CDC in the development and approval of those portions 
of the agenda supported by CDC funds. CDC funds will not be expended 
for non-approved portions of meetings. In addition, CDC will reserve 
the right to approve or reject the content of the full agenda, press 
events, promotional materials (including press releases), speaker 
selection, and site selection. CDC reserves the right to terminate co-
sponsorship if it does not concur with the final agenda.
     Determine and manage all promotional activities (e.g., 
title, logo, announcements, mailers, press, etc.). CDC must review and 
approve any materials with reference to CDC involvement or support.
     Manage all registration processes with participants, 
invitees, and registrants (e.g., travel, reservations, correspondence, 
conference materials and handouts, badges, registration procedures, 
etc.).
     Plan, negotiate, and manage conference site arrangements, 
including all audio-visual needs.

Each application will be evaluated based on the following criteria:
1. Proposed Program and Technical Approach (25 Points)
    The applicant's description of the proposed conference as it 
relates to specific non-Federal conferences in the areas of health 
promotion and disease prevention information/education programs (except 
substance abuse), including the public health need of the proposed 
conference and the degree to which the conference can be expected to 
influence public health practices. Evaluation will also be based on the 
extent of the applicant's collaboration with other organizations
