Environmental Health Epidemiology Resources Development for
Mexico and Latin American Countries; Notice of Intent To Fund Single
Eligibility Award
A. Purpose
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announces the
intent to fund fiscal year (FY) 2004 funds for a cooperative agreement
program to continue and strengthen an established environmental health
epidemiology, environmental health professional training, and
demonstration and training service delivery program based in a
university setting in Mexico. The Catalog of Federal Domestic
Assistance number for this program is 93.283.
B. Eligible Applicant
Assistance will be provided only to the Instituto Nacional de Salud
Publica (INSP).
The INSP, as the national institute of public health of the
Government of Mexico, is the most appropriate and qualified agency to
provide the services specified under this cooperative agreement
because:
The INSP is a leading environmental health epidemiology teaching
institution, both at the undergraduate and graduate levels, in Mexico
and the Latin American and Caribbean country region, and is the only
public health teaching institution in the region whose mission scope
covers the entire region.
The INSP has formal collaborative arrangements with other teaching
institutions in Mexico, including those located near the Mexico-U.S.
border, and with those in other countries in the region which provide
the entre for establishing and maintaining the environmental health
epidemiology training and demonstration program supported by this
cooperative agreement.
The INSP has a highly qualified doctoral- and master's-level
teaching staff whose responsibilities include the conduct of programs
related to the

achievement of the environmental health epidemiology and fellow-
training activities, which are the intended objectives of this
cooperative agreement.
C. Funding
Approximately $315,000 is available in FY 2004 to fund this award.
It is expected that the award will begin on or before September 1,
2004, and will be made for a 12-month budget period within a project
period of up to three years. Funding estimates may change.
