A. Purpose

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announces the 
award of fiscal year (FY) 2002 funds for a grant program for the 
Delaware Department of Health and Social Services for Public Health 
Disease Surveillance Initiative.
    The purpose of this program is to build an integrated data 
management system that will allow the sharing of core data elements 
needed by the State of Delaware to effectively fulfill its 
responsibilities for the surveillance and reporting of communicable 
diseases. This program addresses the ``Healthy People 2010'' focus area 
of Immunization and Infectious Diseases.

B. Eligible Applicant

    Assistance is provided only to the Delaware Department of Health 
and Social Services. No other applications were solicited. Eligibility 
was limited to the Delaware Department of Health and Social Services 
because fiscal year 2002 federal appropriations specially directs the 
CDC to award funds to continue the development of the Delaware 
Electronic Reporting System (DEERS) to track diseases.
