Public Health Service

Notice of Cooperative Agreements

With the Interamerican College of

Physicians and Surgeons and the

National Council of La Raza

The Office of Minority Health (OMH),

Office of the Assistant Secretary for

Health, PHS, announces that it will

enter into two separate cooperative

agreements with two organizations: (1)

The Interamerican College of Physicians

and Surgeons (ICPS) and (2) The

National Council of La Raza (NCLR).

These cooperative agreements will

establish the broad programmatic

framework within which specific

projects can be funded as they are

identified during the project period.

The purpose of these cooperative

agreements is to assist the organizations

in expanding and enhancing their

activities in the following areas: Service

delivery, health prevention, health

promotion, and health services research

opportunities, with the ultimate goal of

improving the health status of

minorities and disadvantaged people.

The OMH will provide consultation,

administrative and technical assistance

as needed for the execution and

evaluation of all aspects of these

cooperative agreements. The OMH will

also participate and collaborate with the

awardees in any workshops or symposia

to exchange current information,

opinions, and research findings.

Authorizing Legislation

These cooperative agreements are

authorized under the grantmaking

authorities of the Office of Minority

Health. Refer to Section 1707(d)(1) of

the Public Health Service Act, as

amended by Public Law 101–527.

Background

Assistance will be provided to ICPS

and NCLR only. No other applications

are solicited. The ICPS and NCLR are

the only organizations capable of

administering these cooperative

agreements because they have:

1. Developed, expanded, and

managed an infrastructure to coordinate

and implement various health education

programs within local communities and

physician groups that deal extensively

with Hispanic health issues.

The ICPS has established several

medical training programs which

provide a foundation upon which to

develop, promote, and conduct

professional medical programs aimed at

preventing and reducing unnecessary

morbidity and mortality rates among

Hispanic populations.

The NCLR has established a strong

network of Hispanic providers, health

advocates, and health educators that

provide a foundation upon which to

develop, promote, and manage health

interventions, and client education

programs aimed at preventing and

reducing unnecessary morbidity and

mortality rates among Hispanic

populations.

2. Both the ICPS and NCLR have

established themselves and their

members as organizations with

professionals who serve as leaders and

experts in planning, developing,

implementing, and evaluating health

education curricula and client-based

health prevention programs aimed at

reducing excessive mortality and

adverse health behaviors among

Hispanic populations.

3. ICPS has developed databases and

directories of health care providers,

Hispanic medical students interested in

primary care, and funding mechanisms

to continue graduate medical and

scientific education that are essential for

any health care professional

development initiatives that deal

exclusively with Hispanic populations.

NCLR has developed databases and

directories of health education

programs, health care accessibility

issues, and professional development

initiatives that deal exclusively with

Hispanic populations that are necessary

for any intervention dealing with

Hispanic populations.

4. Both organizations have assisted in

the development of many of the current

education, research, disease prevention,

and health promotion activities for its

members, affiliated groups, and

represented subpopulations.

5. Both the ICPS and NCLR have

developed national organizations whose

members consist of Hispanic

physicians, health care providers,

researchers and advocates with

excellent professional performance

records. ICPS consists exclusively of

Hispanic physicians, surgeons, and

future health care providers, while

NCLR has a broad range of membership

that is comprised of mostly Hispanic

health care workers.

6. Both organizations have developed

a base of critical knowledge, skills, and

abilities related to serving Hispanic

clients on a range of health and social

problems. Through the collective efforts

of its members, its affiliated communitybased organizations, sponsored research

(NCLR), and sponsored health education

and prevention programs, the ICPS and

NCLR have demonstrated (1) the ability

to work with academic institutions and

official health agencies on mutual

education, service, and research

endeavors relating to the goal of disease

prevention and health promotion of

Hispanic peoples, (2) the leadership

needed to assist health care

professionals work more effectively

with Hispanic clients and communities,

and (3) the leadership needed to

effectively promote health professions

careers to Hispanic students who would

otherwise not consider such a career

path.

This cooperative agreement will be

awarded in FY 1995 for a 12-month

budget period within a project period of

5 years. Continuation awards within the

project period will be made on the basis

of satisfactory progress and the

availability of funds.
