Network-Based Surveillance System Initiative; 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 one-year grant
program for the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, Emerging
Infectious Disease Center. This program addresses the ``Healthy People
2010'' focus area of Immunization and Infectious Diseases.
The purpose of the program is to build a center that will allow the
unique interdisciplinary expertise of multiple institutions, as well as
national laboratories, be applied to epidemics and other instances of
emerging infectious diseases. The intent of a center is to develop a
network-based surveillance system to understand, detect, intervene and
prevent emerging epidemics by working at the intersection of public
health.
B. Eligible Applicants
Assistance will be provided only to the University of Mexico in
Albuquerque. No other applications are solicited. Eligibility is
limited to the University of New Mexico because fiscal year 2001
Federal appropriations specifically directs the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) to award this University funds to develop
a network-based surveillance system.
Note: Title 2 of the United States Code, Chapter 26, Section
1611 states that an organization described in section 501(c)(4) of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 that engages in lobbying
activities is not eligible to receive Federal funds constituting an
award, grant, cooperative agreement, contract, loan or other form.
C. Availability of Funds
Approximately $921,000 is available in FY 2001 to fund the award.
It is expected that the award will begin on or about July 15, 2001, and
will be made for a 12-month budget period within a project period of
one year.
