[Program Announcement 01038]

Cooperative Agreement for 2001

National Breast and Cervical Cancer

Early Detection Program; 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

program for the National Breast and

Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program

(NBCCEDP). This program addresses the

‘‘Healthy People 2010’’ priority area

related to cancer.

The purpose of the NBCCEDP is to

apply a State, territorial, or tribal public

health approach to increase access to

and use of screening services. The

NBCCEDP was established through the

Breast and Cervical Cancer Mortality

Prevention Act of 1990 (Public Law

101–354) and provides screening

services for low income women. Funded

programs will establish a

comprehensive breast and cervical

cancer early detection screening

program that includes the following

program components: Breast and

cervical cancer screening, tracking,

follow-up and case management; public

education and outreach; professional

education; quality assurance and

improvement; surveillance and

evaluation; coalitions and partnerships;

and management, hereafter referred to

as the NBCCEDP program components.

The President has committed the

nation to an ambitious goal: By the year

2010, to eliminate the disparities in

health status experienced by racial and

ethnic minority populations. The

NBCCEDP has been established to move

closer to this goal by addressing the

deficits in breast and cervical cancer

screening and management among these

women.

B. Eligible Applicants

Assistance will be provided only to

the official health departments of States

and territories (including the Federated

States of Micronesia and the Republic of

the Marshall Islands) or their bona fide

agents or instrumentalities, including

Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the

Virgin Islands, the Commonwealth of

the Northern Mariana Islands, the

Republic of Palau, and federally

recognized Indian Tribal governments

organizations, Alaska Natives and Urban

Indian organizations and inter-tribal

consortia, hereafter referred to as

Tribes).

An inter-tribal consortium or

American Indian/Alaskan Native (AI/

AN) organization is only eligible for

funding if its primary purpose for

incorporation is to improve AI/AN

health, and it is representative of the

Indian communities in which it is

located. Tribes are encouraged to

collaborate with other Tribes to expand

the potential screening population.
