Cooperative Agreement for the Development of State-Level
Surveillance Systems, Enhancement of Epidemiologic Practice, and the
Development of Epidemiologic Training Programs for State Health
Agencies; Notice of Availability of Funds
A. Purpose
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announces the
availability of fiscal year (FY) 2001 funds for a cooperative agreement
for the development of state-level surveillance systems, enhancement of
epidemiologic practice, and the development of epidemiologic training
programs for state health agencies.
B. Eligible Applicants
Assistance will be provided only to the Council of State and
Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE). No other applications are
solicited. Because of the professional appointments and technical
expertise with tribal, state, territorial and local health agencies,
through its membership, CSTE is uniquely capable of applying
epidemiologic principles to disease, environmental, and injury problems
at the national, state, and local levels, and when states are directly
affected. No other organization has the scientific and technical
expertise to carry out this project.
C. Availability of Funds
Approximately $3,000,000 is available in FY 2001 to fund this
award. Funds will be allocated to individually described and budgeted
projects or activities which will comprise the overall cooperative
agreement. Individual projects are expected to range from $100,000 to
$625,000. It is expected that the award will be made on or about
September 30, 2001, and will be made for a 12 month budget period
within a project period of up to five years.
