Additional Information of Eligibility:
The following organizations/institutions are eligible to apply.
Consistent with the purposes of the Recovery Act (in particular, to preserve and create jobs and promote economic recovery in the United States, and to provide investments needed to increase economic efficiency by spurring technological advances in science and health), applicants must be a domestic (United States) institution/organization of one of the types listed below.
The United States institution/organization must be located in the 50 states, or in the territories and possessions of the U.S., Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands, or District of Columbia.
Foreign organizations/institutions are not permitted as the applicant organization.
The HHS ARRA Spend Plan for this CDC program limits eligibility only to applicants who have applied for and have been selected as Prevention Research Centers under CDC Program Announcement DP-09-001.
Competition is limited to PRCs under this CDC Program Announcement because (1) they are uniquely positioned to perform, oversee, and coordinate public health-oriented CER that promotes the field of prevention research due to their established relationships with community partners and previous experience with CER and (2) these PRCs recently competed for prevention research funding and were deemed to be the best applicants among research institutions that include all schools of public health and schools of medicine with preventive medicine residency programs.
