## A. Purpose 

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announces the availability of fiscal year (FY) 2001 funds for a grant program for a Texas-Mexico Border Infectious Disease Monitoring Program. This program addresses the “Healthy People 2010” focus area of Immunization and Infectious Diseases. 

                    The purpose of the program is to initiate emerging infectious disease                           ( print page 24383)                        surveillance and related activities along the Texas-Mexico border, focusing on infectious diseases and conditions that are important in the region.                 

## B. Eligible Applicants 

Assistance will be provided to the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston (UTMB-G). No other applications are solicited. Eligibility is limited to UTMB-G because fiscal year 2001 Federal appropriations specifically directs CDC to award this applicant funds to conduct a project to monitor infectious diseases along the Texas-Mexico border.

Title 2 of the United States Code, Chapter 26, Section 1611 states that an organization described in section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 that engages in lobbying activities is not eligible to receive Federal funds constituting an award, grant, cooperative agreement, contract, loan, or any other form.

## C. Availability of Funds
