Cooperative Agreement to the Medical and Health Research
Association of New York City, Inc.; Notice of Award of Funds
A. Purpose
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announces the
availability of fiscal year (FY) 2002 funds for a cooperative agreement
program for the Medical and Health Research Association of New York
City, Inc. This program addresses the ``Healthy People 2010'' focus
area of Immunization and Infectious Diseases, specifically objective
14.26, ``Increase the proportion of children who participate in fully
operational population-based immunization registries.''
The purpose of the program is to: (1) Forge new, and strengthen
existing, partnerships with immunization registry stakeholders; (2)
promote the use of immunization registries as a standard practice in
the delivery of health services; and (3) educate stakeholders about the
use and benefits of immunization registries.
B. Eligible Applicants
Assistance will be provided only to the Medical and Health Research
Association of New York City, Inc.(MHRA). No other applications are
solicited. MHRA is the only organization that has an established
relationship with state and local health department immunization
registry developers, and the technical and programmatic expertise
necessary to carry out this project. MHRA is a unique organization
because its members have technical expertise in the areas of registry
partnerships, immunization registry participation by providers and
children, registry promotion and education, registry data quality and
use, privacy and confidentiality of electronic data, electronic
information exchange and integration, and resource development.
Note: Title 2 of the United States Code section 1611 states that
an organization described in section 501(c)(4) of the Internal
Revenue Code that engages in lobbying activities is not eligible to
receive Federal funds constituting an award, grant or loan.
