## I. Funding Opportunity Description 

*Authority:*

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) program is authorized under section 317(k) (2) (c) and (d) of the Public Health Service Act, [42 U.S.C. 247b (k) (2) (c) and (d)]. 

*Purpose:*

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announce the pending availability of appropriated fiscal year (FY) 2005 funds for National Center for the Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion Conference Support Program. This program addresses the “Healthy People 2010” focus areas of Arthritis, Osteoporosis, and Chronic Back Conditions, Cancer, Diabetes, Educational and Community-Based Programs, Heart Disease and Stroke, Maternal, Infant and Child Health, Vision and Newborn Hearing (specifically newborn screening, evaluation and intervention), Oral Health, Physical Activity and Fitness, Respiratory Diseases, Sexually Transmitted Diseases, and Tobacco Use. 

HIV Conferences and HIV subject matter are covered under another program and are not permitted under this announcement. 

The purpose of conference support funding is to provide partial support for specific non-Federal conferences in the areas of health promotion and disease prevention information and education programs, and applied research. 

Applicants can submit applications for conferences that are not a part of series for a one-year project period or an applicant can submit a proposal for a five year project period when a series of annual conferences are proposed by a sponsoring organization. The applicant can submit applications on an annual basis for up to five years for a series of conferences or the applicant can submit one application for five years of proposed activities. A series is proposed as the exact same focus area within the scope of the program announcement conducted more than one time during the project period. An applicant can apply for funding for more than one different conference during the project period. Each application must focus on one topic area. 

Conference support by CDC creates the appearance of CDC co-sponsorship, where there will be active participation by CDC in the development and approval of the conference agenda to make sure there are no subjects that would be contradictory to the goals of the Government or be an improper use of funds. CDC funds will be expended only for approved portions of the conference. 

The mission of CDC is to promote health and improve the quality of life by preventing and controlling disease, injury, and disability. 

This is occurring through the support of conferences and meetings in the areas of public health research, education, prevention research in program and policy development in managed care and also through prevention application. CDC is meeting its overall goal of dissemination and implementation of new cost-effective intervention strategies. 

                    Measurable outcomes of the program will be in alignment with one or more of the following performance goal(s) for the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Promotion: (1) Increase early detection of breast and cervical cancer by building nationwide programs in breast and cervical cancer prevention,                           ( print page 64058)                        especially among high-risk, underserved women. (2) Expand community-based breast and cervical cancer screening and diagnostic services to low income, medically underserved women. For women diagnosed with cancer or pre-cancer, ensure access to treatment services. (3) Reduce cigarette smoking among youth. (4) Support prevention research to develop sustainable and transferable community-based behavioral interventions. (5) Increase the capacity of state cardiovascular health programs to address prevention of cardiovascular disease at the community level. (6) Reduce death and disability due to heart disease and stroke and eliminate disparities. (7) Increase the capacity of state diabetes control programs to address the prevention of diabetes and its complications at the community level. (8) Improve the quality of state-based cancer registries. (9) Help states monitor the prevalence of major behavioral risks associated with premature morbidity and mortality in adults to improve the planning, implementation, and evaluation of health promotion and disease prevention programs. (10) Decrease levels of obesity, or reduce the rate of growth of obesity, in communities through nutrition and physical interventions. (See Attachment I for the specific topic areas as posted at the CDC Web site, at,                     *www.cdc.gov,*                     Click on “Funding” then “Grants and Cooperative Agreements”, and then locate the specific topic areas for this announcement.)                 

                    This announcement is only for non-research activities supported by CDC. If research is proposed, the application will not be reviewed and the application will be returned to the applicant. For the definition of research, please see the CDC Web site at the following Internet address:                     *http://www.cdc.gov/​od/​ads/​opspoll1.htm.*

*Activities:*

In conducting activities to achieve the purpose of this program, the recipient will be responsible for the following activities: 
    - The conference organizer(s) may use CDC's name only in accurate public relations for the conference, meaning information that is true and factual. CDC involvement in the conference does not necessarily indicate support for the organizer's general policies, activities, products, or the content of speakers' presentations.
    - All conferences co-sponsored under this announcement shall be held in facilities that are fully accessible to the public as required by the Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG) (Does not apply to international conferences). Accessibility under ADAAG addresses accommodations for persons with sensory impairments as well as persons with physical disabilities or mobility limitations.
    - Manage all activities related to program content ( e.g. , objectives, topics, attendees, session design, workshops, special exhibits, speaker's fees, agenda composition, and printing). Many of these items may be developed in concert with assigned CDC project personnel.                 
    - Provide draft copies of the agenda and proposed ancillary activities to CDC for approval. All but ten percent of the total funds awarded for the proposed conference will be initially restricted pending approval of a full, final agenda by CDC. The remaining 90 percent of funds will be released by letter to the grantee upon the approval of the final agenda. Because conference support by CDC creates the appearance of CDC co-sponsorship, there will be active participation by CDC in the development and approval of those portions of the agenda supported by CDC funds. CDC funds will not be expended for non-approved portions of meetings. In addition, CDC will reserve the right to approve or reject the content of the full agenda, press events, promotional materials (including press releases), speaker selection, and site selection. CDC reserves the right to terminate co-sponsorship if it does not concur with the final agenda.
    - Determine and manage all promotional activities ( e.g. , title, logo, announcements, mailers, press, etc.). CDC must review and approve any materials with reference to CDC involvement or support.                 
    - Manage all registration processes with participants, invitees, and registrants ( e.g. , travel, reservations, correspondence, conference materials and handouts, badges, registration procedures, etc.).                 
    - Plan, negotiate, and manage conference site arrangements, including all audio-visual needs.

An objective review panel will evaluate complete and responsive applications according to the criteria listed in the “V.1. Criteria” section above presented by three reviewers from CDC employees that are all outside the funding cognizant program office. 

Applications will be funded in order by score and rank determined by the review panel. 

Applications received in subsequent budget periods that are part of a series will be technically reviewed by an assigned CDC project officer providing their application is consistent with the scope of this program announcement and their originally approved application. Any application proposed in a series where the scope of the application is not consistent with their original application will be reviewed by an objective review panel according to the evaluation criteria.
