[Program Announcement 02219]
Cooperative Agreement for the Development and Support of Core
Public Health Functions Related to Injury Prevention and Control;
Notice of Award of Funds
A. Purpose
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
respond to the training, information, education, research,
surveillance, program implementation, and evaluation needs required to
build or expand injury prevention and control capacity at the State and
territorial level. This program addresses the ``Healthy People 2010''
[[Page 63105]]
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.
