Cooperative Agreement for the Development of State-Level 
Surveillance Systems, Enhancement of Epidemiologic Practice, and the 
Development of Epidemiologic Training Programs for State Health 
Agencies; 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 cooperative agreement 
for the development of state-level surveillance systems, enhancement of 
epidemiologic practice, and the development of epidemiologic training 
programs for state health agencies.

B. Eligible Applicants

    Assistance will be provided only to the Council of State and 
Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE). No other applications are 
solicited. Because of the professional appointments and technical 
expertise with tribal, state, territorial and local health agencies, 
through its membership, CSTE is uniquely capable of applying 
epidemiologic principles to disease, environmental, and injury problems 
at the national, state, and local levels, and when states are directly 
affected. No other organization has the scientific and technical 
expertise to carry out this project.

C. Availability of Funds

    Approximately $3,000,000 is available in FY 2001 to fund this 
award. Funds will be allocated to individually described and budgeted 
projects or activities which will comprise the overall cooperative 
agreement. Individual projects are expected to range from $100,000 to 
$625,000. It is expected that the award will be made on or about 
September 30, 2001, and will be made for a 12 month budget period 
within a project period of up to five years.
