[Program Announcement 05048] 

A Cooperative Agreement to Improve 

the Interaction Between Public Health 

Academicians and Public Health 

Practitioners; Notice of Intent to Fund 

Single Eligibility Award 

A. Purpose 

The Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC) announces the intent 

to fund fiscal year (FY) 2005 funds for 

a cooperative agreement program to 

assist the Association of Schools of 

Public Health (ASPH) in improving the 

practice of public health and 

strengthening the public health system 

by: (1) Supporting public health 

programs and education within the 

nation’s accredited schools of public 

health; (2) supporting information 

exchange with and among the nation’s 

schools of public health; (3) increasing 

the interaction between public health 

academicians and practitioners; and (4) 

enhancing the preparation and 

continuing education of public health 

workers. 

B. Eligible Applicant 

The Association of Schools of Public 

Health (ASPH) is uniquely qualified to 

provide services specified under this 

cooperative agreement for the following 

reasons: ASPH is the only national 

organization representing the deans, 

faculty, and students of the accredited 

member schools of public health and 

other programs seeking accreditation as 

schools of public health. The 36 

member schools are fully accredited by 

the Council on Education for Public 

Health (CEPH), and represent the 

primary educational system that trains 

personnel to operate the nation’s public 

health agencies and administer disease 

prevention and health promotion 

programs. ASPH has the institutional 

knowledge required to address the 

needs of both the schools of public 

health and public health agencies. 

As the nation’s only representative of 

accredited schools of public health for 

over 50 years, and as liaison between 

the schools, government, other 

professional bodies, and the public, 

ASPH is uniquely qualified and 

positioned to: (a) Strengthen and 

support schools of public health and (b) 

bring together the fields of academic 

public health and practice. It works 

with various agencies of the federal 

government on projects aimed at 

strengthening public health education 

and research and the public health 

profession. It assists its member schools 

in the development and coordination of 

national health policies, and it serves as 

an information center for governmental 

and private groups and individuals 

whose concerns overlap those of higher 

education for public health. There is no 

other organization that provides this 

level of support to the nation’s schools 

of public health for achievement of their 

education, service, and research 

missions. 

C. Funding 

Approximately $21,000,000 is 

available in FY 2005 to fund this award. 

It is expected that the award will begin 

on or before September 1, 2005, and will 

be made for a 12-month budget period 

within a project period of up to 5 years. 

Funding estimates may change.

Collaborative Efforts To Prevent Child 

Sexual Abuse 

Announcement Type: New. 

Funding Opportunity Number: RFA 

05038. 

Catalog of Federal Domestic 

Assistance Number: 93.136. 

Dates: Application Deadline: April 4, 

2005. 

I. Funding Opportunity Description

Authority: This program is authorized 

under section 301(a) and 394(b) of the Public 

Health Service Act, [42 U.S.C. 241(a) and 

280b–2(b), as amended.

Background: Approximately 900,000 

minor children in the United States are 

identified by child protective services as 

5680 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 22 / Thursday, February 3, 2005 / Notices 

victims of maltreatment on an annual 

basis. Additionally, in 2002, over 88,000 

substantiated or indicated cases of child 

sexual abuse (CSA) were identified by 

the Administration on Children, Youth 

and Families. (National Clearinghouse 

on Child Abuse and Neglect, 2004). 

Child sexual abuse is associated with 

negative outcomes in both childhood 

and adulthood (e.g., anxiety, depression, 

self-harming behavior, substance abuse, 

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, verbal 

and physical aggression, poor academic 

achievement, and low self-esteem and 

high risk sexual behavior). (Oddone 

Paolucci, Genuis, Violato, 2001; Putnam 

and Trickett, 1993; Browne and 

Finkelhor, 1987). 

Due to the serious short and long term 

consequences of CSA, the Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC’s) 

focus for this effort is on primary 

prevention (i.e. preventing CSA from 

initially occurring). The specific focus 

of the prevention efforts should be on 

adult and community responsibility in 

the prevention of perpetration of child 

sexual abuse. No single factor explains 

the perpetration of child sexual abuse; 

rather it is a complex interplay of 

individual and contextual factors and 

influence (i.e. individual, relationship, 

community, and societal) (Krug, et al). 

Thus, prevention programs should 

address multiple levels of influence 

including individual, relationship, 

community, and societal levels as 

represented by the World Report on 

Violence and Health (Krug, et al. 2002). 

For the purposes of this 

announcement, the following 

definitions apply: 

Child: A person under eighteen years 

of age. Also referred to as ‘‘minor child’’

in this announcement. 

Child sexual abuse: ‘‘Child sexual 

abuse involves any sexual activity with 

a child where consent is not or cannot 

be given. This includes sexual contact 

that is accomplished by force or threat 

of force, regardless of the age of the 

participants, and all sexual contact 

between an adult and a child, regardless 

of whether there is deception or the 

child understands the sexual nature of 

the activity. Sexual contact between an 

older and a younger child also can be 

abusive if there is a significant disparity 

in age, development, or size, rendering 

the younger child incapable of giving 

informed consent. The sexually abusive 

acts may include sexual penetration, 

sexual touching, or non-contact sexual 

acts such as exposure or voyeurism.’’

(From the APSAC Handbook on Child 

Maltreatment, 2nd edition, 2002). 

Prevention of CSA: Prevention 

approaches are on a continuum from 

those that take place before CSA has 

occurred to prevent initial perpetration 

or victimization (i.e., PRIMARY 

prevention) to those that take place after 

CSA has occurred to address the 

consequences of CSA and to prevent it 

from re-occurring. Although all of these 

approaches are important, the main 

emphasis of this project is on the 

primary prevention of perpetration. The 

next level of emphasis of this project is 

on the early identification of 

perpetration with the hope of 

preventing re-occurrence. 

Prevention collaborative: A 

partnership that combines the expertise 

of child abuse prevention, sexual abuse 

prevention, public health, and other 

stakeholder agencies/organizations for 

the purpose of preventing child sexual 

abuse. 

Focus on Adult and Community 

responsibility: Prevention programs 

with this focus ensure that adults, both 

individually and collectively (e.g., as 

part of organizations and communities): 

(a) Understand the nature and scope of 

child sexual abuse, (b) recognize their 

role in the prevention of child sexual 

abuse, and (c) possess the knowledge 

and skills necessary to be actively 

engaged in child sexual abuse 

prevention efforts. For the purposes of 

this definition, adults include those 

with an interest in the safety and wellbeing of minor children (e.g. parents, 

spouses or other family members, 

teachers, friends, clergy, bystanders, 

etc.).

Focus on the prevention of 

Perpetration: Prevention programs/

strategies with this focus attempt to 

prevent either: (a) The act of 

perpetration, or (b) the development of 

offending behavior in an individual. 

Social ecological framework: A 

framework for understanding the 

complex interplay of individual, 

relationship, social, political, cultural, 

and environmental factors that 

influence CSA (Krug et al., 2002), and 

also provides potential key points for 

prevention and intervention (Powell, 

Mercy, Crosby, Dahlberg, and Simon, 

1999). For this project, we use the fourlevel ecological model presented in the 

World Report on Violence and Health 

(Krug et al., 2002). 

Provider behavior: Providers can be 

broadly defined to include clinical 

service providers, as well as providers 

of prevention programs. 

Purpose: To support existing state and 

local collaboratives in the prevention of 

child sexual abuse. More specifically, 

the purpose of this program is to 

integrate strategies that address (1) adult 

and community responsibility (2) the 

prevention of perpetration and (3) all 

levels of the social ecology (i.e.

individual, relationship, community, 

and societal) into existing state and 

local level collaboratives that address 

CSA prevention. 

This program addresses the ‘‘Healthy 

People 2010’’ focus area(s) of Injury and 

Violence Prevention. 

Measurable outcomes of the program 

will be in alignment with the following 

performance goal for the National 

Center for Injury Prevention and Control 

(NCIPC): Goal 1—Increase the capacity 

of injury prevention and control 

programs to address prevention of 

injuries and violence. 

This announcement is only for nonresearch activities supported by CDC/

ATSDR. If research is proposed, the 

application will not be reviewed. For 

the definition of research, please see the 

CDC Web site at the following Internet 

address: http://www.cdc.gov/od/ads/

opspoll1.htm. 

Activities: Awardee activities for this 

program are as follows: 

1. Activities to increase capacity to 

have wide programmatic reach around 

prevention of child sexual abuse: 

• Assess the makeup of the statewide 

collaborative for appropriate 

representation from traditional and nontraditional partners (e.g. faith leaders, 

health care provider organizations, etc.). 

Recruit missing partners in order to 

expand the reach of the collaborative. 

2. Activities to increase capacity to 

integrate prevention strategies that 

address (1) adult and community 

responsibility (2) the prevention of 

perpetration and (3) the social 

ecological model into existing 

programming. 

• Develop a five year prevention plan 

integrating previously conducted adult 

and community responsibility and 

perpetration prevention programming, 

using logic modeling, and informed by 

existing data (e.g. statewide survey of 

existing child sexual abuse 

programming, surveys, etc.) to identify 

prevention strategies that addresses 

adult and community responsibility, 

perpetration prevention, and multiple 

levels of the social ecological model to 

be implemented in one or more local 

settings. Planning should be in 

partnership with local level partners. 

Since the prevention plan extends 

beyond the 2-year program period, the 

plan should address strategies for 

garnering support for the 

implementation of the plan. Priority 

activities should be those that address a 

level of the social ecology not 

previously addressed by the applicant. 

• Implement at least one priority 

activity from the prevention plan in the 

two-year program period. 

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 22 / Thursday, February 3, 2005 / Notices 5681

• Attend and participate in technical 

assistance and planning meetings 

coordinated by the CDC for all 

cooperative agreement recipients (two 

staff members; two meetings per year; 

two days per meeting. One meeting will 

be held in Atlanta; one meeting will be 

held in the same city as one of the 

funded sites.). 

3. Activities to increase evaluation 

capacity: 

• Create an evaluation subcommittee 

within the prevention collaborative to 

develop state and/or local evaluation 

plans. These evaluation plans should 

include, but are not limited to, the 

assessment of changes in capacity, 

provider behavior, and community 

norms. 

• Implement evaluation plan(s). 

• Conduct at least one community (or 

state level) survey addressing 

community norms and provider 

behavior around prevention of CSA, 

particularly on adult and community 

responsibility in the prevention of 

perpetration. 

• Develop and implement measures 

of increased prevention capacity at state 

and local levels.

• Collaborate with other cooperative 

agreement recipients and CDC in the 

development of core components for the 

community survey and cross-site 

evaluation. 

• Submit required reports on time. 

In a cooperative agreement, CDC staff 

is substantially involved in the program 

activities, above and beyond routine 

grant monitoring. 

CDC Activities for this program are as 

follows: 

• Provide updated information 

related to the purposes and activities of 

this program announcement. 

• Provide technical assistance and 

consultation, if requested, on all aspects 

of recipient activities, including: 

» Assessment of the makeup of the 

state and local collaboratives. 

» Development of a 5-year 

prevention plan. 

» The development of the state and 

local evaluation plan, including but not 

limited to the community survey. 

• Facilitate any cross-site evaluation 

in collaboration with cooperative 

agreement recipients. 

• Facilitate the technical assistance 

and planning meetings that will provide 

opportunities for awardees to increase 

knowledge and skills, learn from each 

other, share resources, and work 

collaboratively to address issues related 

to child sexual abuse prevention (two 

meetings per year, two days per 

meeting). 

• Review evaluation information for 

presentation and publication.

Federal Government. 

III. Eligibility Information 

III.1. Eligible Applicants 

Applications may be submitted by an 

organization with state-wide reach and 

expertise in the primary and/or 

secondary prevention of child sexual 

abuse who are current recipients of 

funds for the Collaborative Efforts to 

Prevent Child Sexual Abuse program, 

Program number 02124. 

The previous funding cycle was 

intended to allow for planning of child 

sexual abuse prevention efforts that 

focused on adult and community 

responsibility and the prevention of 

perpetration. This proposed funding 

cycle focuses on implementation, 

sustainability, and continued evaluation 

of these efforts. 

The competition for this cooperative 

agreement is being limited to current 

Collaborative Efforts to Prevent Child 

Sexual Abuse (Collaborative CSA), 

Program Number 02124 Program 

recipients for the following reasons: 

1. The three-year program period was 

a planning period for CDC, funded 

grantees and their partners to begin to 

understand and build the framework for 

child sexual abuse prevention that 

focused on adult and community 

responsibility and perpetrator 

prevention. 

2. The two year program period for 

this proposed cooperative agreement 

will be an implementation and 

evaluation period where grantees and 

their state and local partners apply the 

lessons learned from the previous cycle 

to integrate the concepts of: (1) Adult 

and community responsibility; (2) 

perpetration prevention; and (3) 

addressing multiple levels of the social 

ecology to build and implement a 

comprehensive prevention framework 

and evaluation plan. 

3. An additional two years will allow 

for the previously funded grantees to 

more strategically integrate the concepts 

of adult and community responsibility, 

perpetration prevention, and 

programming at all levels of the social 

ecology into their current state and local 

efforts to build long term sustainability 

of these efforts.

4. Because of the necessary planning 

period in the Collaborative CSA 

program, an additional two years is 

needed to build the evaluation capacity 

of the funded applicants in order for the 

state and local level evaluation to 

produce reliable, valid and useful 

results that can inform the field. 

III.2. Cost Sharing or Matching 

Matching funds are not required for 

this program.
