as a Public Health Tool

    Announcement Type: New.
    Funding Opportunity Number: RFA AA036.
    Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance Number: 92.283.
    Key Dates: Application Deadline: May 23, 2005.

I. Funding Opportunity Description

    Authority: 42 U.S.C. 247b(k)(2).
    Purpose: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) 
announces the availability of fiscal year (FY) 2005 funds for a 
cooperative agreement program to assist public health related 
professions and organizations to strengthen their capacity to apply law 
as a tool for improving the health of the public through prevention and 
health

promotion. The focus will be on public health priorities established by 
CDC. The initial highest priority will be preparedness for, and 
response to, public health emergencies such as those associated with 
terrorism, influenza and other infectious disease epidemics, and 
natural disasters. Additional initial high priorities will include 
prevention of obesity and chronic disease, and promotion of adolescent 
health. Priorities may change during the grant period. This program 
addresses the ``Healthy People 2010'' focus area Public Health 
Infrastructure.
    For the purpose of this program, public health-related professions 
include, at a minimum: Elected and appointed public officials who make 
or influence the use of law as a public health tool; public health 
policy makers and practitioners; attorneys; emergency response and law 
enforcement professionals; the judiciary; researchers; and educators 
and trainers and organizations serving those professions. The main 
emphasis will be on professions, or organizations serving them, active 
at the state and local levels but federal agency professionals and 
organizations (e.g., CDC programs) may be addressed as well.
    The program has two goals within its overarching purpose. Goal 1 is 
to strengthen public health law-related competencies, to improve 
information resources on public health law, to translate applied public 
health law research findings into practice, and to expand partnerships 
among organizations active in public health law. Goal 2 is to co-
sponsor, with CDC, an annual conference series in public health law. 
Organizations may apply to conduct work on Goal 1, on Goal 2, or on 
both goals. An organization that wishes to apply to conduct work on 
both goals must submit two separate applications. Work on both goals 
will be conducted in collaboration with the CDC Public Health Law 
Program.
    Measurable outcomes of the program will be in alignment with the 
following Public Health Improvement performance goal in the final FY 
2005 Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) Annual Performance 
Plan: ``Increase the number of frontline public health workers at the 
state and local level that are competent and prepared to respond to 
bioterrorism, infectious disease outbreaks, and other public health 
threats and emergencies and prepare frontline state and local health 
departments and laboratories to respond to current and emerging public 
health threats.''
    This announcement is only for non-research activities supported by 
CDC/ATSDR. If research is proposed, the application will not be 
reviewed. For the definition of research, please see the CDC Web site 
at the following Internet address: https://www.cdc.gov/od/ads/
