HEALTH RESOURCES AND SERVICES

ADMINISTRATION

Program Announcement for a

Cooperative Agreement for the

Development and Enhancement of

Health Promotion and Disease

Prevention Curriculum Components

Within Health Professions Education

The Health Resources and Services

Administration (HRSA) announces the

awarding of a single source cooperative

agreement to the Association of

Teachers of Preventive Medicine

(ATPM) to plan for the development

and enhancement of Health Promotion

and Disease Prevention (HP/DP)

curriculum components within health

professions education. This activity will

be supported under the authority of

Title III, Section 301, of the Public

Health Service Act. Five years of

support are proposed beginning in fiscal

year 1997. An initial award of $262,301

will be used for the development of

vaccine benefit-risk curriculum for

health care professionals.

The project will: (1) Enhance the

integration of HP/DP within existing

health professions primary care

curriculum; (2) identify and develop

standards, guidelines, competencies,

and training models that address HP/DP

curricula; (3) serve as a resource for

professional organizations, specialty

societies, and academic units in

developing a program of education and

training in preventive medicine; and (4)

explore project ideas regarding the

instruction, practice and research in

preventive medicine which respond to

the national objectives of Healthy

People 2000. The ATPM was chosen

because it is the only professional

organization solely committed to

advancing the teaching of HP/DP in the

clinical specialities. It has an

established membership of professionals

which include teachers, researchers,

practitioners, and administrators of

multiple disciplines and medical

specialities located in schools of

medicine, academic health centers,

schools of public health, accredited

graduate medical education programs,

nursing schools and various practice

settings. It is uniquely structured to

access current HP/DP instruction for

health professionals of multiple

disciplines and to influence the

development of essential information as

required. The Association also has

developed and provided access to

preventive medicine teaching and

curriculum materials for both preservice health professions education

and continuing education. Many of

these materials are proprietary in

nature.

Federal Involvement

The Cooperative Agreement

mechanism is being used for this project

to allow for substantial Federal

programmatic involvement with the

planning, development, administration,

and evaluation of the proposed projects.
