SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Nitric
Oxide (NO) plays an important role as
a major intrinsic vasodilator, and
increases blood flow to tissues and
organs. Disruption of this process leads
to peripheral vascular disease, ischemic
heart disease, stroke, diabetes and many
more significant diseases. The inventors
have discovered that the matrix protein
thrombospondin1 (TSP1) blocks the
beneficial effects of NO, and prevents it
from dilating blood vessels and
increasing blood flow to organs and
tissues. Additionally, they discovered
that this regulation requires TSP1
interaction with its cell receptor, CD47.
Relief of this inhibition in genetically
altered mice lacking either TSP1 or
CD47 results in dramatically improved
blood flow and increased tissue

oxygenation. Further, by using reagents
such as monoclonal antibodies and
peptides that block TSP1–CD47
interaction, or agents such as antisense
oligonucleotides or morpholinos that
reduce the level of CD47 or TSP1, blood
flow can dramatically increase to
ischemic tissues in vivo. Inhibition of
TSP1 signaling at the level of CD47
expression and/or activation
significantly improves the survival of
tissue in an ischemic environment.
The prospective exclusive license will
be royalty bearing and will comply with
the terms and conditions of 35 U.S.C.
209 and 37 CFR part 404.7. The
prospective exclusive license may be
granted unless within sixty (60) days
from the date of this published notice,
the NIH receives written evidence and
argument that establishes that the grant
of the license would not be consistent
with the requirements of 35 U.S.C. 209

Applications for a license in the field
of use filed in response to this notice
will be treated as objections to the grant
of the contemplated exclusive license.

(LCHD) in Libby, Montana. A serious
public health problem has been
identified in Lincoln County, Montana,
as residents in this rural community
have been adversely affected by the
asbestos released from a vermiculite
mine. The asbestos-related diseases in
which Lincoln County residents have
been diagnosed include asbestosis, lung
cancer, mesothelioma, and others. The
purpose of this demonstration grant
would be to provide care management
for Lincoln County residents with
asbestos-related diseases. The grant will
provide funds to support the
coordination and payment of care for
asbestos-related diseases among such
entities as hospitals, clinics, specialty
care providers, and others involved in
the care and treatment of this service
population.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Intended Recipient of the Award:
Lincoln County Health Department in
Libby, Montana.
Amount of the Award FY 2009: It is
anticipated that up to $6,000,000 will be
available from all sources for a 2-year
project period from August 1, 2009—
July 31, 2011. Of the $6,000,000,
$2,000,000 will be available from CDC
to support this effort. The remaining
$4,000,000 will be awarded by HRSA’s
Office of Rural Health Policy’s Rural
Health Care Services Outreach Program,
of which $2,000,000 will be provided
the first year and an additional
$2,000,000 will be provided the second
year. Funding beyond the first year,
however, is dependent on the
availability of appropriated funds,
grantee satisfactory performance, and a
decision that continued funding is in
the best interest of the Federal
Government.
Project Period: The project period for
this grant is August 1, 2009, through
July 31, 2011.
Authority: This activity is funded
under the authority of HRSA’s Rural
Health Care Services Outreach Program,
statutory authority Section 330A(e) of
the Public Health Service Act, as
amended (42 U.S.C. 254c(e)); and the
CDC’s statutory authority Section
317(k)(2) of the Public Health Service
Act, as amended (42 U.S.C. 247b(k)(2)).
The authority for the single source
award is HHS Grants Policy Directive
2.04, Awarding Grants.

asbestos-related diseases among the
residents, their health is at risk of being
severely impaired by lack of essential
screening and related medical
treatment. Due to the urgency of the
situation, HRSA cannot run a full or
limited competition since this process
would take approximately 290 days.
LCHD has been identified as uniquely
qualified for undertaking this activity.
LCHD has the requisite administrative
and medical infrastructure as well as
prior experience with screening and
coordinating treatment with other local
health care providers. In addition,
tracking of disease incidents is a
necessary component of the award
activity and LCHD has previously
worked with the Montana Department
of Public Health and Human Services in
developing and maintaining their
asbestos-related disease registry. LCHD
is in a unique position to immediately
undertake and coordinate the award
activities necessary to address this
urgent public health problem and in a
manner minimizing adverse health
outcomes that might otherwise result
from an extended delay in providing
such services.
