Proposed Project
Comprehensive Cancer Control:
Implementation Case Study—New—
National Center for Chronic Disease
Prevention and Health Promotion
(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background
While much has been learned about
the development of Comprehensive
Cancer Control (CCC) plans, little is
known about CCC grantee activities,
organizational capacity, or essential
elements of implementing CCC plans.
CDC, through a contractor will evaluate
the necessary components of the CCC
Program. The evaluation consists of: (1)
The design of a plan to evaluate the CCC
Program; (2) an evaluation of grantee
activities; (3) a nationwide assessment
of capacity to plan, implement and
evaluate CCC programs; and (4) a study
of selected grantees’ experiences
implementing CCC plans. This project
will focus on the fourth component of
the evaluation.
Implementation case studies provide
the opportunity to follow the
relationships among needs identified in
the planning process, goals and
objectives established in the plan
(priorities for action), and implemented
activities. The goals of the proposed
data collection are to document the
process and activities CCC programs
undertake to implement a CCC plan,
and to document measures CCC
programs use to assess how well a CCC
plan is implemented.
The data will be collected via inperson interviews with key personnel in
the implementation of CCC plans. Key
personnel will include: Program
directors, program staff in health
departments and partner organizations,
partner organization decision-makers,
program evaluators, and representatives
from non-partner organizations.
Interviews will take place during one 3to 4-day site visit to 10 sites. The
program directors will also complete a
packet of background information in
preparation for the site visits. The only
cost to respondents is their time. The
total annual burden for this data
collection is 145 hours.

Through Technical Assistance

Association of State and Territorial
AIDS Directors (NASTAD); Notice of
Intent To Fund Single Eligibility Award
A. Purpose
The purpose of the program is to

HIV/AIDS program development

through technical assistance (TA)
provided to GAP Program countries.
The term ‘‘capacity building assistance’’
means the provision of information,
technical assistance, training, and
technology transfer for individuals and
organizations to improve the delivery
and effectiveness of HIV prevention,
care and treatment services and
interventions. This does not include the
delivery of direct HIV prevention, care
or treatment services and interventions.
The Catalog of Federal Domestic
Assistance number for this program is

Territorial AIDS Directors (NASTAD)
for this project. No other applications
are solicited or will be accepted. This
announcement and application will be
sent to NASTAD.
NASTAD is the appropriate and only
qualified agency to provide the services
specified under this cooperative
agreement because:
1. NASTAD is the only officially
established organization that represents
the State and Territorial AIDS Directors
in all 50 U.S. States and all U.S.
Territories. As such, it represent the
officials from throughout the U.S. who
have responsibility for designing,
implementing, and evaluating HIV/
AIDS prevention programs protecting
the health of U.S. citizens against the
threat of HIV and acquired
immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).
This places NASTAD in a unique
position to act as a liaison between state
and territorial HIV/AIDS prevention
programs and GAP country public
health officials. In addition, the same set
of knowledge, skills, and abilities
NASTAD has developed in working
with State and Territorial AIDS
Directors are of critical importance in
improving the technical capacity of
national AIDS control programs in
African, Caribbean, Central and South
American countries and India.
2. Health threats such as HIV are not
confined by geographic boundaries.
NASTAD was formed to promote
coordination of HIV/AIDS prevention
efforts among the States and territories.
The organization is uniquely positioned
to collaborate not only with national
organizations, including Federal
agencies, but also with national AIDS
control program officials in GAP
countries, on policy and program issues
from a U.S. government model, multistate perspective. In this collaboration
NASTAD is positioned to monitor,
assess, and improve HIV/AIDS
prevention program design,
implementation, and evaluation in GAP
countries.
3. In the U.S., NASTAD coordinates
the efforts of HIV/AIDS Prevention
Program Directors, who work together
with CDC to monitor the
implementation of prevention programs
across States and territories, assess the
impact of prevention programs, share
successes and challenges, monitor
issues and obstacles to implementation
of effective interventions, provide
technical assistance and consult with
CDC, one another, and other
governmental and non-governmental
prevention partners on these issues.
Therefore NASTAD possesses unique
knowledge and insight that can be
applied to GAP country programs
VerDate jul<14>2003
17:20 Jan 26, 2005
Jkt 205001
through the provision of technical
assistance aimed at strengthening the
ability of national AIDS control
programs to develop HIV/AIDS
programs based on the best practices of
U.S. state and territory programs.
4. It is critical that NASTAD conducts
these services since it represents the
HIV/AIDS Program Directors who
oversee and deliver HIV prevention,
care and treatment policies, programs,
and activities. Since NASTAD
represents the HIV/AIDS Program
Directors who have responsibility for
HIV prevention, care and treatment
within their jurisdictions, it is the only
organization that can work
collaboratively with individual AIDS
Directors to provide multi-jurisdiction
perspectives and translate knowledge,
skills, and abilities to national AIDS
control program officials in GAP
countries.
5. NASTAD has already established
mechanisms for communicating HIV/
AIDS prevention, care and treatment
information to the States and the
political subdivisions of the States that
carry out the National HIV/AIDS
programs. They can use these
mechanisms to exchange information
between the States and public health
officials in GAP countries to identify
and develop effective HIV/AIDS
information networks and
dissemination systems. Because of their
experience and established
communications mechanisms, NASTAD
is in a unique position to assist national
AIDS control program officials with the
dissemination of HIV/AIDS prevention,
care and treatment information.
C. Funding
Approximately $2,000,000 is available
in FY 2005 to fund this award. It is
expected that the award will begin on or
before April 1, 2005, and will be made
for a 12-month budget period within a
project period of up to three years.
Funding estimates may change.
