A. Purpose
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announces the availability of fiscal year (FY) 2001 funds for a grant program to promote a hospital-based trauma support program at a level 1 trauma center delivered in a suburban community that is both culturally and economically diverse. This program addresses the “Healthy People 2010” focus area of Injury and Violence Prevention. The purpose of this program is to provide a continuum of support services including prevention messages to reduce morbidity and mortality to those who have suffered traumatic injuries.
B. Eligible Applicant
Assistance will be provided only to the Inova Fairfax Hospital. No other applications are solicited. Eligibility is limited to the Inova Fairfax Hospital, Falls Church, Virginia, because fiscal year (FY) 2001 Federal appropriations specifically directs CDC to award this hospital funds to promote a hospital-based trauma support program at a level 1 trauma center.
C. Availability of Funds
Approximately $87,201 is available in FY 2001 to fund one award. It is expected that the award will begin on or about September 1, 2001, and will be made for a 12-month budget period within a project period of one year. Funding estimates may change.
