Addressing Asthma From a Public
Health Perspective: Part A; Enhanced;

Announcement Type: New.

I. Funding Opportunity Description
Purpose: The purpose of the program
is to provide the impetus to further
develop program capacity to address
asthma from a public health perspective
to bring about: (1) A focus of asthmarelated activity within the state; (2) an
increased understanding of asthmarelated data and its application to
program planning through development
of an ongoing surveillance system; (3)
an increased recognition, within the
public health structure of a state, of the
potential to use a public health
approach to reduce the burden of
asthma; (4) linkages of the state to many
agencies and organizations addressing
asthma in the population; and (5)
participation in intervention program
activities.
This program addresses the ‘‘Healthy
People 2010’’ focus areas of
Environmental Health, Occupational
Safety and Health, and Respiratory
Diseases.
Epidemiological surveillance is: ‘‘the
ongoing systematic collection, analysis,
and interpretation of health data
essential to the planning,
implementation, and evaluation of
public health practice, closely
integrated with the timely
dissemination of these data to those
who need to know. The final link in the
surveillance chain is the application of
these data to prevention and control. A
surveillance system includes a
functional capacity for data collection,
analysis, and dissemination linked to
public health programs.’’ Refer to
citation in Attachment I, ‘‘The Public
Health Surveillance of Asthma,’’ for
more information. (All attachments will
be posted with this program
announcement on the CDC Web site.)
Measurable outcomes of the program
will be in alignment with the following
performance goal for the National
Center for Environmental Health
(NCEH): Reduce the number of deaths,
hospitalizations, emergency department
visits, school or work days missed, and
limitations on activity due to asthma.
This announcement is only for nonresearch activities supported by CDC. If
research is proposed, the application
will not be reviewed. For the definition
of research, please see the CDC Web site

Activities: Awardee Activities for this
program are as follows:
• Enhance the existing asthma
surveillance system to include (at a
minimum) asthma hospitalizations,
morbidity (measures from the
Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance
System (BRFSS) or equivalent),
mortality, and work-related asthma.
Conduct analysis of and interpret
surveillance data; and disseminate these
data through reports to local, state, and
federal partners and agencies.
• Implement a defined subset of
interventions described in the State
Asthma Plan.
—Improve provider compliance with
the National Asthma Education and
Prevention Program’s (NAEPP)
‘‘Guidelines for the Diagnosis and
Management of Asthma’’ (refer to
citation in Attachment I for more
information).
—Improve the skills of patients and
families affected by asthma to manage
the disease.
—Review legislation and policies
impacting people with asthma.
—Identify environmental factors that
contribute to asthma prevalence and
morbidity, and reduce or eliminate
exposure to these factors.
—Facilitate communication between
those implementing and those
affected by planned activities.
• Develop and implement an
evaluation plan that measures the
effectiveness of your program as a
whole, as well as each intervention.
Systematically document lessons
learned.
• Maintain existing, and expand, as
appropriate, statewide coalition and
partnership activities; include a
workgroup to address work-related
asthma, if one does not exist; and
evaluate effectiveness of collaboration.
• Maintain a strong commitment
within the state to support continued
efforts of the asthma program.
• Participate in CDC convened
meetings and periodic conference calls
for grantees to share experiences, data,
and materials.
In a cooperative agreement, CDC staff
is substantially involved in the program
activities, above and beyond routine
grant monitoring. CDC Activities for this
program are as follows:
• Provide consultation and guidance
to awardees to enhance and expand
existing asthma surveillance activities,
including data collection methods and
data analysis.
• Collaborate with awardees on
analysis of asthma data, interpretation
