Centers for Disease Control and

Funding Opportunity Number AA113; 

Rural HIV/AIDS Prevention Project; 

Notice of Intent To Fund Single 

Eligibility Award 

A. Purpose 

The Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC) announces the 

availability of fiscal year (FY) 2005 

funds for a cooperative agreement to 

assist rural HIV prevention program 

providers in developing and delivering 

HIV prevention programs by (1) 

identifying effective HIV prevention 

programs and innovative materials and 

(2) disseminating this information to 

rural HIV prevention providers. The 

Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance 

number for this program is 93.939. 

B. Eligible Applicant 

Assistance will be provided only to 

the Rural Center for AIDS/STD 

Prevention/Indiana University (IU). No 

other applicants are solicited. The Rural 

Center for AIDS/STD Prevention (IU) is 

the appropriate and only qualified 

agency to provide the services specified 

under this cooperative agreement 

because: 

• The Rural Center is the only such 

organization that solely focuses on HIV/ 

STD prevention for all rural 

communities in the country. The Rural 

Center has been emphasizing HIV/STD 

prevention in rural communities for 

over ten years. The Rural Center has 

developed relationships with HIV 

prevention providers in rural 

communities, earning their trust and 

willingness to share information about 

their activities. 

• An extensive internet search of 

organizations providing HIV prevention 

services to rural communities 

throughout the U.S., as described in this 

program announcement, did not 

identify any other comparable 

organizations. 

• The Rural Center is widely 

recognized as a valuable resource for 

rural HIV/STD prevention specialists; 

its Web site receives over 30,000 ‘‘hits’’ 

per month. The Rural Center 

disseminates HIV/STD prevention 

information and research findings 

through various professional trainings 

and prevention guidelines development. 

• The Rural Center has established 

the National Network of Rural HIV/STD 

Prevention Specialists. This network of 

over 800 members provides a forum (e.g. 

e-mail listserv) for rural HIV/STD 

prevention specialists to discuss 

prevention-related issues for rural 

communities, to exchange information, 

and to offer support. This network forms 

the basis for communication with rural 

HIV prevention programs. Other 

organizations serving rural communities 

are state or regionally based. 

• The Rural Center distributes 

monthly STD/HIV prevention updates 

via e-mail and fax to several hundred 

rural HIV/STD prevention specialists 

throughout the country. 

• The Rural Center has a collaborative 

working relationship with the National 

Rural Health Association (NRHA) and 

conducts national conferences every 

two years for rural HIV/STD prevention 

specialists. The goal of the conferences 

is to present model rural HIV/STD 

prevention programs and emphasize 

information exchange and lessons 

learned. The Rural Center complements 

the activities of NRHA because NRHA 

does not provide specific HIV/AIDSrelated services. 

C. Funding 

Approximately $245,471 is available 

in FY 2005 to fund this award February 

1, 2006 and will be made for a 12-month 

budget period within a project period of 

up to five years. Funding estimates may 

change.

Privacy Act of 1974; Report of a New 

System of Records 

AGENCY: Department of Health and 

Human Services (HHS), Center for 

Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). 

ACTION: Notice of a New System of 

Records (SOR). 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974, 

we are proposing to create a new system 

titled, ‘‘Cancer Prevention and 

Treatment Demonstration for Ethnic and 

Racial Minorities (CPTD) System, 

System No. 09–70–0560.’’ Section 122 

of the Medicare, Medicaid, and State 

Children’s Health Insurance Program 

(SCHIP) Benefits Improvement and 

Protection Act of 2000 (BIPA) (Public 

Law (Pub. L.) 106–554) grants CMS the 

authority to award at least nine 

cooperative agreement demonstration 

projects that will identify methods to 

reduce disparities in early cancer 

screening, diagnosis, and treatment for 

Black, Hispanic, Asian American and 

Pacific Islander, and American Indian 

(including Alaskan Native, Eskimo, and 

Aleut) Medicare beneficiary 

populations. Demonstration sites will 

use the best available scientific evidence 

to identify promising models of cancer 

screening, diagnosis and treatment 

interventions to promote health and 

appropriate utilization of Medicare 

covered services, eliminate disparities 

in cancer detection and treatment 

among ethnic and racial populations of 

Medicare beneficiaries, and provide 

information to improve the effectiveness 

of the Medicare program. 

The purpose of this system is to 

collect and maintain demographic and 

cancer health-related data on Medicare 

target population beneficiaries who 

voluntarily enroll in the CPTD Project 

for Ethnic and Racial Minorities. This 

system will enable CMS to enroll 

eligible participants in the 

demonstration project; randomize 

participants into intervention and 

control groups; reimburse 

demonstration site service claims; and 

develop, maintain and analyze/evaluate 

research information showing the 

potential impact of providing cancer 

screening, diagnosis and treatment 

facilitation services to underserved 

Medicare beneficiaries. Information 

retrieved from this system may be 

disclosed to: (1) Support regulatory, 

reimbursement, and policy functions 

performed within the agency or by a 

contractor, grantee, consultant or other 

legal agent; (2) assist another Federal or 

state agency with information to enable 

such agency to administer a Federal 

health benefits program, or to enable 

such agency to fulfill a requirement of 

Federal statute or regulation that 

implements a health benefits program 

funded in whole or in part with Federal 

funds; (3) assist an individual or 

organization engaged in the 

performance activities of the 

demonstration or in a research project or 

in support of an evaluation project 

related to the prevention of disease or 

disability, the restoration or 

maintenance of health, or payment 

related projects; (4) support constituent 

requests made to a congressional 

representative; (5) support litigation 

involving the agency; and (6) combat 

fraud and abuse in certain health 

benefits programs. We have provided 

background information about the new 

system in the SUPPLEMENTARY
