Funding Opportunity Number AA113;
Rural HIV/AIDS Prevention Project;
Notice of Intent To Fund Single
Eligibility Award
A. Purpose
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) announces the
availability of fiscal year (FY) 2005
funds for a cooperative agreement to
assist rural HIV prevention program
providers in developing and delivering
HIV prevention programs by (1)
identifying effective HIV prevention
programs and innovative materials and
(2) disseminating this information to
rural HIV prevention providers. The
Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance
number for this program is 93.939.
B. Eligible Applicant
Assistance will be provided only to
the Rural Center for AIDS/STD
Prevention/Indiana University (IU). No
other applicants are solicited. The Rural
Center for AIDS/STD Prevention (IU) is
the appropriate and only qualified
agency to provide the services specified
under this cooperative agreement
because:
• The Rural Center is the only such
organization that solely focuses on HIV/
STD prevention for all rural
communities in the country. The Rural
Center has been emphasizing HIV/STD
prevention in rural communities for
over ten years. The Rural Center has
developed relationships with HIV
prevention providers in rural
communities, earning their trust and
willingness to share information about
their activities.
• An extensive internet search of
organizations providing HIV prevention
services to rural communities
throughout the U.S., as described in this
program announcement, did not
identify any other comparable
organizations.
• The Rural Center is widely
recognized as a valuable resource for
rural HIV/STD prevention specialists;
its Web site receives over 30,000 ‘‘hits’’
per month. The Rural Center
disseminates HIV/STD prevention

information and research findings
through various professional trainings
and prevention guidelines development.
• The Rural Center has established
the National Network of Rural HIV/STD
Prevention Specialists. This network of
over 800 members provides a forum (e.g.
e-mail listserv) for rural HIV/STD
prevention specialists to discuss
prevention-related issues for rural
communities, to exchange information,
and to offer support. This network forms
the basis for communication with rural
HIV prevention programs. Other
organizations serving rural communities
are state or regionally based.
• The Rural Center distributes
monthly STD/HIV prevention updates
via e-mail and fax to several hundred
rural HIV/STD prevention specialists
throughout the country.
• The Rural Center has a collaborative
working relationship with the National
Rural Health Association (NRHA) and
conducts national conferences every
two years for rural HIV/STD prevention
specialists. The goal of the conferences
is to present model rural HIV/STD
prevention programs and emphasize
information exchange and lessons
learned. The Rural Center complements
the activities of NRHA because NRHA
does not provide specific HIV/AIDSrelated services.
C. Funding
Approximately $245,471 is available
in FY 2005 to fund this award February
1, 2006 and will be made for a 12-month
budget period within a project period of
up to five years. Funding estimates may
change.

SUMMARY: In accordance with the
requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974,
we are proposing to create a new system
titled, ‘‘Cancer Prevention and

System No. 09–70–0560.’’ Section 122
of the Medicare, Medicaid, and State

authority to award at least nine
cooperative agreement demonstration
projects that will identify methods to
reduce disparities in early cancer
screening, diagnosis, and treatment for
Black, Hispanic, Asian American and
Pacific Islander, and American Indian
(including Alaskan Native, Eskimo, and
Aleut) Medicare beneficiary
populations. Demonstration sites will
use the best available scientific evidence
to identify promising models of cancer
screening, diagnosis and treatment
interventions to promote health and
appropriate utilization of Medicare
covered services, eliminate disparities
in cancer detection and treatment
among ethnic and racial populations of
Medicare beneficiaries, and provide
information to improve the effectiveness
of the Medicare program.
The purpose of this system is to
collect and maintain demographic and
cancer health-related data on Medicare
target population beneficiaries who
voluntarily enroll in the CPTD Project
for Ethnic and Racial Minorities. This
system will enable CMS to enroll
eligible participants in the
demonstration project; randomize
participants into intervention and
control groups; reimburse
demonstration site service claims; and
develop, maintain and analyze/evaluate
research information showing the
potential impact of providing cancer
screening, diagnosis and treatment
facilitation services to underserved
Medicare beneficiaries. Information
retrieved from this system may be
disclosed to: (1) Support regulatory,
reimbursement, and policy functions
performed within the agency or by a
contractor, grantee, consultant or other
legal agent; (2) assist another Federal or
state agency with information to enable
such agency to administer a Federal
health benefits program, or to enable
such agency to fulfill a requirement of
Federal statute or regulation that
implements a health benefits program
funded in whole or in part with Federal
funds; (3) assist an individual or
organization engaged in the
performance activities of the
demonstration or in a research project or
in support of an evaluation project
related to the prevention of disease or
disability, the restoration or
maintenance of health, or payment
related projects; (4) support constituent
requests made to a congressional
representative; (5) support litigation
involving the agency; and (6) combat
fraud and abuse in certain health
benefits programs. We have provided
background information about the new
system in the SUPPLEMENTARY
