An Assessment of the Health Effects
From Exposure to Volcanic Emissions;
Notice of Intent To Fund Single
Eligibility Award
A. Purpose
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) announces the intent
to fund fiscal year (FY) 2005 funds for
a grant program to: to provide funds to
the Hawaii Department of Public Health
(HDPH) for an assessment of the health
effects experienced by Hawaii residents
that may be associated with potentially
toxic volcanic emissions from an active
volcano.
B. Eligible Applicant
An application may only be submitted
by the Hawaii Department of Public
Health (HDPH).
HDPH is the most appropriate
organization to conduct the work under
this grant for the following reasons:
1. Congressional language states that:
The problem of asthma in Hawaii
remains a serious health threat and
challenge, especially among the
medically underserved. In particular,
the problem of volcanic emissions in
Hawaii contributes to this and other
respiratory problems. Congress has
provided CDC with funds to address
this problem.
2. Hawaii has the statutory
responsibility for protecting and
enhancing the public health of its
citizens. This includes assessing the
impact of volcanic emissions on the
health of Hawaii residents.
3. HDPH has access to state collected
data, which will be essential
components of the project.
C. Funding
Approximately $75,000 is available in
FY 2005 to fund this award. It is
expected that the award will begin on or
before August 31, 2005, and will be
made for a 12-month budget period
within a project period of up to 1 year.
Funding estimates may change.

Reducing Racial and Ethnic Disparities
in Childhood Immunization
Announcement Type: New.
Funding Opportunity Number: RFA
IP05–087.
Catalog of Federal Domestic
Assistance Number: 93.185.
Letter of Intent Deadline: June 10,
2005.
Application Deadline: June 27, 2005.
I. Funding Opportunity Description
Authority: Section 311 [42 U.S.C. 243] and
317(k)(1) [42 U.S.C. 247b(k)(1)] of the Public
Health Service Act, as amended.
Background
Eliminating health disparities among
racial and ethnic populations in the
United States is a major public health
goal. However, in recent years,
disparities in immunization rates
between black and white children have
been increasing (Chu et al.) 1. Therefore,
the National Immunization Program
(NIP) is seeking to support projects that
may lead to reductions in these
disparities.
Factors that may be related to lower
immunization rates among black
children include frequency and timing
of well child visits, provider type
(pediatrician, family practitioner, public

disparities in preschool immunizations: United
States, 1996–2001’’. ‘‘American Journal of Public

health clinic (PHC)), missed
opportunities for immunization,
socioeconomic status (SES), urban vs.
rural vs. suburban settings, and parental
beliefs. Missed opportunities are
medical encounters during which a
child fails to receive an immunization
for which he/she is eligible and they
have been shown to contribute to under
immunization of children. The National
Maternal and Infant Health Survey
showed that black children were less
likely than white children to receive the
recommended number of well child
visits and immunizations in the first
seven months of life. SES has been
shown to impact immunization
coverage levels in many studies. Some
studies have found that adjustment for
SES and access to care did not
completely explain racial and ethnic
disparities.
Purpose
The purpose of the program is to fund
a community-based demonstration
project to identify, implement and
evaluate interventions that will result in
a statistically significant reduction in
racial disparities in immunization
coverage levels between black children
19–35 months of age and children of
other races, particularly white children,
as evidenced by a comparison of
immunization coverage of black and
other racial/ethnic groups before and
after interventions are implemented.
Throughout this announcement black
refers to non-Hispanic black and white
refers to non-Hispanic white. These
interventions must include: (1)
Enhancement of healthcare utilization
and (2) strategies to reduce missed
opportunities for immunization. The
key to the success of this program will
be community-focused programs that
include the full engagement of
appropriate partners. These partners
may include faith-communities, health
care purchasers, health plans, health
care providers, and many other
community sectors working together.
The focus of this announcement is for
medium or large urban areas with
populations of at least 100,000 people.
This program addresses the ‘‘Healthy
People 2010’’ focus area of
Immunization and Infectious Diseases.
Measurable outcomes of the program
will be in alignment with the
performance goal for the Center for
Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC)
National Immunization Program (NIP) to
reduce the number of indigenous
vaccine-preventable diseases and will
be evidenced by a significant increase in
immunization coverage levels among
black children in the study communities
before and after implementation of

study interventions. A significant
increase is defined as 90 percent
confidence in having achieved an
increase in coverage among black
children of at least five percentage
points with no increase in disparities.
Research Objectives
1. Identify factors related to
disparities in childhood immunization
rates between black children and
children of other racial/ethnic groups
within an urban area. These factors
must include community and practice
level factors related to utilization of
health services and practice level factors
related to missed opportunities for
immunization.
2. Develop and implement
interventions to address factors related
to disparities in immunization rates
between black children and children of
other racial/ethnic groups. The
applicant must address community and
practice level factors related to
enhancing utilization of health services
and practice level factors related to
missed opportunities for immunization.
3. Evaluate the effectiveness of these
interventions in decreasing racial
disparity in immunization rates between
blacks and all other children within the
urban area.
Activities
Awardee activities for this program
are as follows:
1. Select a medium or large urban area
with a total population of at least
100,000 people, with documented
significant racial/ethnic disparities in
childhood immunization rates. At least
25 percent of this urban area should be
black.
2. Develop and implement plans to
identify factors which are related to the
disparity differences in immunization
coverage between black children and
children of other racial/ethnic groups in
this urban area. These factors must
include community and practice level
factors related to utilization of health
services and practice level factors
related to missed opportunities for
immunization. Examples include
number and timing of well child visits,
pattern of missed opportunities, SES
status, provider type (family
practitioner, pediatrician, PHC), and
availability of social services and
transportation within the urban area.
3. Design interventions for addressing
the factors related to disparities in
immunization coverage in this urban
area. These interventions must address
community and practice level factors
related to enhancing utilization of
health services and practice level factors
related to missed opportunities for
