Health Promotion and NonCommunicable Disease and Injury
Prevention Initiatives in Latin America
and the Caribbean; 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 cooperative agreement program to
prevent non-communicable diseases,
adverse reproductive outcomes, injuries,
birth defects, developmental and
physical disabilities and adverse
consequences resulting from hereditary
conditions in countries in the Latin
American and Caribbean region.
Through enhanced collaboration
between the Pan American Health
Organization (PAHO) and CDC, member
countries can: (a) Promote a healthy,
active lifestyle, disseminate information
and provide expertise to prevent and
control non-communicable diseases for
which physical inactivity is a major risk
factor, (including but not limited to
obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular
disease); (b) enhance, develop,
implement, and evaluate communitybased programs, including programs
addressing cardiovascular health, health
care and aging, and conduct behavioural
risk factor surveillance and prevention
research; (c) improve measurement,
monitoring, and assessment of maternal
and infant health, strengthen
community-based maternal and
perinatal health care systems, and
improve and use surveillance systems to
monitor and evaluate the quality of
reproductive services; (d) strengthen
their capacity to conduct surveillance,
develop interventions and information
technology tools, carry out access to
care and economic impact studies, and
share information related to diabetes
prevention and control; (e) strengthen
tobacco control through surveillance
and evaluation, training, networking,
and information exchange relative to
policy approaches to implement smokefree environments; (f) develop

indicators and systems to monitor
injuries and violence, conduct training
and education, and to implement and
evaluate comprehensive prevention
strategies. The Catalog of Federal
Domestic Assistance number for this
program is 93.283.
Assistance will be provided only to

(PAHO) for this project. PAHO is the
oldest international public health
agency, with over 100 years of
experience in working to improve
health and living standards of the
countries of the Americas. It serves as
the specialized organization for health
of the Inter-American System. It also
serves as the Regional Office for the
Americas of the World Health
Organization (WHO) and enjoys
international recognition as part of the
UN system.
Since its creation in 1902, PAHO has
worked to advance policies, plans and
programs that improve health and
human development. PAHO consists of
thirty-eight Member States, and by
encouraging collaboration among
countries, PAHO aims to ensure that
health promotion and noncommunicable disease prevention
strategies are incorporated both at the
national and local level.
C. Funding
Approximately $989,900 is available
in FY 2005 to fund this award. It is
expected that the award will begin on or
before July 29, 2005, and will be made
for a 12-month budget period within a
project period of up to 5 years. Funding
estimates may change.

Background: Under a Memorandum

ATSDR’s public health activities at DOE

107, and 120 of the Comprehensive
Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act

Superfund National Priorities List and
at sites that are the subject of petitions
from the public; and other healthrelated activities such as epidemiologic
studies, health surveillance, exposure
and disease registries, health education,
substance-specific applied research,
emergency response, and preparation of
toxicological profiles.
In addition, under an MOU signed in
December 1990 with DOE and replaced
by an MOU signed in 2000, the
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) has been given the
responsibility and resources for
conducting analytic epidemiologic
investigations of residents of
communities in the vicinity of DOE
facilities, workers at DOE facilities, and
other persons potentially exposed to
radiation or to potential hazards from
non-nuclear energy production and use.
HHS has delegated program
responsibility to CDC. Community

ATSDR’s and CDC’s energy-related
