The U.S. Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC) and the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease
Registry (ATSDR) has announced funding under the Public Health Conference
Support Program. The purpose of this funding program is to provide
partial support for specific non-federal conferences in the areas
of health-promotion and disease-prevention information and education
programs, and applied research. Only conferences occurring between
May 1, 2006, and September 30, 2010, are eligible to apply under
this announcement. Applications may be submitted for CDC support
by public and private nonprofit organizations, and by governments
and their agencies. Also eligible are nationally and internationally
recognized associations of health professionals and other chartered
organizations generally recognized as demonstrating a need for information
to protect the public from health effects of exposure to hazardous
substances. The approximate total funding will be $2,600,000 with
70 to 100 anticipated awards. It is expected that the average award
range for a one-year project period will be $20,000 to $75,000 for
CDC and $8,000 for ATSDR. The application
deadline for Cycle A is December 9, 2005; and Cycle B is March 6,
2006. For more information, go to www.cdc.gov/od/pgo/funding/05031%20Amendment-1.htm.
