Notice of Award of a Single-Source Cooperative Agreement To Fund

AGENCY: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Department of 
Health and Human Services (HHS).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), located 
within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), announces the 
award of approximately $375,000 with an expected total funding of 
$1,875,000 over a five-year period to the World Health Organization 
(WHO) to support activities that promote the development of data 
systems to monitor injuries and violence; and to implement and evaluate 
evidence-based strategies to prevent and control injuries and violence.

DATES: The period for this award will be September 1, 2022, through 
August 31, 2027.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ericka Lowe Marvin, National Center 
for Injury Prevention and Control, Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention, 4770 Buford Highway, MS S106-10, Atlanta, GA 30341, 
Telephone: 800-232-6348, email: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Both injuries and violence are leading 
causes of death around the world. These deaths occur due to road 
traffic crashes, falls, drownings, other unintentional injuries, and 
from acts of interpersonal violence. However, this represents a 
fraction of the problem, as tens of millions more suffer injuries that 
lead to hospitalization or other medical care. Many of those who 
survive injuries are left with temporary or permanent disabilities. 
Additionally, victims of physical, sexual, and emotional abuse suffer 
from a range of chronic conditions, diseases, and mental health 
problems throughout their lifetimes. The objective of this award is to 
continue to raise awareness of these issues; measure the scope of the 
problem; and implement evidence-based solutions that will be relevant 
for violence and injury prevention efforts globally, including the 
United States.
    WHO is in a unique position to conduct this work, as it is 
responsible for providing leadership on global health matters, shaping 
the health research agenda, articulating evidence-based policy options, 
providing technical support to countries, and monitoring and assessing 
health trends. WHO is the directing and coordinating authority for 
health within the United Nations. As a UN agency, it has a relationship 
with many national governments, which allows access to vital records 
and other governmental surveillance systems. Additionally, WHO has 
access to government staff who would conduct training related to 
violence and injury prevention nationally. The WHO has a mandate under 
a variety of UN General Assembly and World Health Assembly Resolutions 
to coordinate the efforts of UN agencies to work together to prevent 
injuries and violence in developing countries.
