[Announcement 537]

State Grants To Support Development

and Evaluation of Nutrition

Intervention Programs

Introduction

The Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention (CDC) announces the

availability of fiscal year (FY) 1995

funds for grants to support the

development and evaluation of State

and community nutrition intervention

programs.

This announcement addresses two

distinct components:

I. ‘‘Nutrition Intervention Assistance’’

for supporting the implementation of

nutrition interventions.

II. ‘‘5 A Day Evaluation’’ for

supporting the evaluation of 5 A Day for

Better Health nutrition intervention

programs.

Applicants may apply for either the

Nutrition Intervention Assistance

component or the 5 A Day Evaluation

component or both components.

The Public Health Service (PHS) is

committed to achieving the health

promotion and disease prevention

objectives of ‘‘Healthy People 2000,’’ a

PHS-led national activity to reduce

morbidity and mortality and improve

the quality of life. This announcement

is related specifically to the priority area

of Nutrition and, generally, to several

other priority areas of health promotion

and preventive services—including

Physical Activity and Fitness, Heart

Disease, Cancer, and Diabetes. (For

ordering a copy of ‘‘Healthy People

2000,’’ see the Section, ‘‘Where to

Obtain Additional Information.’’ )

Authority

This program is authorized under

section 317(k)(2) (42 U.S.C. 247b (k)(2))

of the Public Health Service Act, as

amended.

Smoke-Free Workplace

PHS strongly encourages all grant

recipients to provide a smoke-free

workplace and to promote the nonuse of

all tobacco products, and Public Law

103–227, the Pro-Children Act of 1994,

prohibits smoking in certain facilities

that receive Federal funds in which

education, library, day care, health care,

and early childhood development

services are provided to children.

Eligible Applicants

A. Nutrition Intervention Assistance

Assistance will be provided only to

the health departments of States or their

bona fide agents. This includes

American Samoa, the Commonwealth of

Puerto Rico, the Federated States of

Micronesia, Guam, the Northern

Mariana Islands, the Republic of the

Marshall Islands, the Republic of Palau,

and federally recognized Indian tribal

governments. Excluded are the States,

territories and American Indian tribes

of: Alaska, Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas,

California, Colorado, Connecticut,

District of Columbia, Hawaii, Iowa,

Kansas, Massachusetts, Maine,

Montana, Michigan, Minnesota,

Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire,

New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Rhode

Island, Tennessee, Texas, Utah,

Vermont, West Virginia, Washington,

Bristol Bay Area Health Corporation,

Poarch Band of Creek Indians,

Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians,

Miccosukee Corporation, and the Virgin

Islands, which were funded for

nutrition intervention activities under

Program Announcement 494, entitled

State Grants to Support Development

and Evaluation of Nutrition Intervention

Programs.

B. 5 A Day Evaluation

Assistance will be provided only to

the health departments of States or their

bona fide agents. This includes the

District of Columbia, American Samoa,

the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the

Virgin Islands, the Federated States of

Micronesia, Guam, the Northern

Mariana Islands, the Republic of the

Marshall Islands, the Republic of Palau,

and federally recognized Indian tribal

governments.

Eligibility for this component is

restricted to States who have

established, clearly defined, evaluable,

long range 5 A Day for Better Health

projects in a specific community

channel.

Eligible applicants for nutrition

intervention program grants have been

restricted to official health departments

of States or their bona fide agents or

instrumentalities because:

1. The methodology to conduct this

program has been structured to support

the national goals and objectives of

‘‘Healthy People 2000.’’ In many

instances, State health departments

have already embraced or established

their own goals and objectives which

match or are synonymous with those

outlined in ‘‘Healthy People 2000.’’

2. The conduct of Statewide health

promotion, health education, and risk

reduction programs directed towards

reducing the prevalence of behavioral

risks in the population lies solely with

State Health Departments.

3. Program evaluation is expected to

be useful to State Health Departments in

program and intervention development.

Because comparable methods are used

from State to State and from year to

year, States can compare data and

intervention methods with other States

and monitor the effects of interventions

over time.

Availability of Funds

Approximately $740,000 is available

in FY 1995 to fund approximately 22

awards. Awards may be made for the

Nutrition Intervention Assistance, or 5

A Day Evaluation or both.

A. Nutrition Intervention Assistance

Approximately $450,000 is available

to fund approximately 18 awards. It is

expected that the average award will be

$25,000 ranging from $18,000 to

$32,000. States are encouraged to use

these funds to expand the community

involvement toward the goals of this

program.

B. 5 A Day Evaluation

Approximately $290,000 is available

to fund approximately 4 awards. It is

expected that the average award will be

$75,000 ranging from $60,000 to

$90,000. Awards will be considered

only for applicants who have an

established, clearly defined, and

evaluable long range 5 A Day for Better

Health project in a specific community

channel (e.g., supermarkets, schools,

churches, food assistance programs,

worksites, health clinics, media, etc.).

It is expected that the awards will

begin on or about September 28, 1995,

and will be made for a 12-month budget

period within a project period of one

year. Funding estimates may vary and

are subject to change.

Awards under this announcement

will not be sufficient to fully support an

applicant’s proposed activities, but are

meant to be used in conjunction with

other resources—whether direct funding

or in-kind contributions—that the

applicant may have available.

Purpose

The awards will support State efforts

to develop and evaluate nutrition

intervention programs. Emphasis will be

placed on supporting activities of

partnerships to carry out interventions
