Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Programs (CLPPP); Notice of Availability of Funds

A. Authority and Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance Number

This program is authorized under sections 301(a), 317A and 317B of the Public Health Service Act [42 U.S.C. 241(a), 247b-1, and 247b-3], as amended by the Children's Health Act of 2000. Program regulations are set forth in Title 42, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 51b to State and local health departments. The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance number is 93.197.

B. Purpose

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announces the availability of fiscal year (FY) 2003 funds for a cooperative agreement program for Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Programs (CLPPP). This program addresses the "Healthy People 2010" environmental health objective to eliminate elevated blood lead levels in children. (found at: http://www.health.gov/healthypeople/ )

The purpose of the program is to assist state and local partners in building capacity to eliminate childhood lead poisoning as a major public health problem. The focus of the program is children under the age of six. Special emphasis will be placed on children under the age of 3 who have elevated blood lead levels. The program will also address families with children under the age of six who do not yet have elevated blood lead levels.

Measurable outcomes of the program will be in alignment with the following performance goal of the National Center for Environmental Health (NCEH): reduce the burden of lead poisoning in children.

A glossary of scientific and technical terms can be found in Appendix I. A background statement about the CDC program can be found in Appendix II. All appendices and attachments are posted with this announcement on the CDC Web site.

C. Eligible Applicants

Applications may be submitted by state health departments, their bona fide agents, and the health departments of the following five local jurisdictions that have the highest estimated number of children with elevated blood lead levels: New York, NY; Chicago, IL; Detroit, MI; Los Angeles County, CA, and Philadelphia, PA, or their bona fide agents. (See Appendices III and IV for more information on city blood lead levels.) Applications may also be submitted by the health departments or other official organizational authorities of the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, Guam, the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Republic of Palau, and federally recognized Indian tribal governments. Competition is limited to these entities by authorizing legislation.

Note:

Title 2 of the United States Code section 1611 states that an organization described in section 501c(4) of the Internal Revenue Code that engages in lobbying activities is not eligible to receive Federal funds constituting an award, grant or loan.

D. Funding

Availability of Funds

Approximately $31,000,000 is available in FY 2003 to fund approximately 40 awards. It is expected that the average award will be $775,000, ranging from $75,000 to $1,700,000. It is expected that the awards will begin on or about July 1, 2003 and will be made for a 12-month budget period within a project period of up to three years. Funding estimates may change, depending on availability of funds.

Continuation awards within an approved project period will be made on the basis of satisfactory progress as evidenced by required reports and the availability of funds.

Use of Funds

Funds must be used for the following program activities: (a) The writing, implementation and evaluation of a jurisdiction-wide childhood lead poisoning elimination plan; (b) the writing, implementation, and evaluation of screening plans to target resources to children at the highest risk for lead poisoning; (c) a jurisdiction-wide childhood lead surveillance program, with an analysis plan for collected data; (d) primary prevention activities for pregnant women and/or families with children at high risk for lead poisoning; (e) an assurance plan for timely and appropriate case management of children with elevated blood lead levels; (f) demonstration of strategic partnering with community organizations and with other state/local agencies involved in environmental and child health activities; (g) substantial coordination with organizations and agencies involved in lead-based paint hazard reduction activities and development of protective policy; and (h) evaluation of programmatic impact on childhood lead poisoning within the applicant's jurisdiction.

Funds may not be expended for medical care and treatment, or for environmental remediation of sources of lead exposure. However, the applicant must provide a plan to ensure that these program activities are carried out and demonstrate their program's appropriate involvement with medical care, treatment and remediation efforts.

Not more than 10 percent (exclusive of direct assistance) of any cooperative agreement or contract (sub-grantee or consultant) funded through the cooperative agreement may be obligated for administrative costs. This 10 percent limitation is in lieu of, and replaces, the indirect cost rate.

Recipient Financial Participation

Matching funds are not required for this program. Applicant must assure that income earned by the CLPPP will be returned to the program to support lead poisoning prevention activities.

Funding Preference

CDC will give funding preference to state programs that have significant estimated numbers of children with elevated blood lead levels, and that direct federal funds to localities with high concentrations of children at risk for childhood lead poisoning. CDC will also give funding preference to the five local jurisdictions with the highest estimated number of children with elevated blood lead levels. Guidance is available in Appendices III and IV, CDC's estimate of children under age six with elevated blood lead levels by city and state, respectively.

E. Program Requirements

In conducting activities to achieve the purpose of this program, the recipient will be responsible for the activities in 1. Recipient Activities, and CDC will be responsible for the activities listed in 2. CDC Activities.

1. Recipient Activities

a. Childhood Lead Poisoning Elimination Plan

• Programs must establish an advisory workgroup or committee (or expand the scope of its current advisory group) to publish and implement a statewide or jurisdiction-wide childhood lead poisoning elimination plan. The group should also serve to monitor the progress of the elimination plan, and to leverage resources and enhance cooperative efforts towards this goal.

-This committee/workgroup should, at a minimum, include representatives from the Health Department, Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and/or the housing department, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and/or the state or local environmental regulatory agency, and the state Medicaid agency.

-Member representatives should have sufficient authority to support an inter-agency committee/workgroup, and to commit staff and resources to the elimination work plan.

-By the end of year one, programs must write a statewide or jurisdiction-wide strategic plan to eliminate childhood lead poisoning as a major public health problem by 2010. At a minimum, the plan must include the following elements:

Mission Statement

Purpose and Background on Lead Poisoning Prevalence

Goals, Objectives and Activities

Evaluation Plan

Further guidance on developing the elimination plan and forming the advisory workgroup or committee is located in Appendix V, "Guidance for Developing a Jurisdiction-wide Strategic Plan for the Elimination of Childhood Lead Poisoning."

b. Targeted Screening Plan

• Programs will write, implement and evaluate a jurisdiction-wide screening plan to target resources to impact the largest numbers of children at high risk for lead poisoning. Particular emphasis should be placed on children under three years of age and at high risk. Applicants should refer to the CDC publication, "Screening Young Children for Lead Poisoning: Guidance for State and Local Public Health Officials" (found at: http://www.cdc.gov/nceh/lead/guide/guide97.htm ) and to Appendices III and IV, the CDC estimates of children under six with elevated blood lead levels by city and state.

Application work plans must include goals and objectives describing screening performance measures and plans for periodic evaluation and improvement of the screening plan.

• Programs without a screening plan will provide work plan objectives for publishing and implementing a screening plan within one year of award.

• The screening plan should address uses of health education and communication to the targeted screening population. Additionally, the screening plan should address the education and communication of screening recommendations and childhood lead poisoning prevention efforts to health care providers.

• The screening plan will be reviewed and updated at least annually, and resubmitted to the assigned CDC Project Officer for review and comment.

c. Surveillance

• Programs must maintain and/or enhance a statewide or jurisdiction-wide childhood lead surveillance system to meet the criteria in Appendix VI (Elements Of Developing And Maintaining A Surveillance System). If programs do not have an existing surveillance system that meets these criteria, the application work plan should include objectives demonstrating how the surveillance system will be designed and implemented to meet the criteria within the first year of the project period. The program should also describe the implementation, or planned implementation, of regulations within the state or jurisdiction requiring the reporting of all blood lead results for children less than 72 months of age.

d. Primary Prevention

• Programs must conduct childhood lead poisoning primary prevention activities for families at high risk for lead poisoning to include those who live in housing built prior to 1978. The program should focus activities on pregnant women and/or families with young children at high-risk for lead poisoning exposure. The program should consider, but is not limited to, the examples of primary prevention activities in Appendix VII.

• Educational material and media campaigns may be used to support primary prevention activities.

• Primary prevention activities must be regularly evaluated for effectiveness in reducing the childhood lead burden in higher risk communities and/or populations. Evaluation of primary prevention activities should not include human subjects research.

e. Case Management of Children With Elevated Blood Lead Levels

• Provide a written case management plan consistent with published state and local guidelines, or the recommendations from the National Advisory Committee on Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention, "Managing Elevated Blood Lead Levels Among Young Children", (found at: http://cdc.gov/nceh/lead/CaseManagement/caseManage_main.htm ), within the first six months of the project period.

• Establish specific application work plan goals and objectives for reducing over-all morbidity (in children identified with elevated blood lead levels) by tracking and assuring appropriate and timely coordination of case management activities in accordance with established protocols.

• Implement targeted health education and communication activities to support improvements in timely and appropriate care.

• Case management will be evaluated at least quarterly using surveillance and case management data. At a minimum, the program should review the time frames for (a) initiating and completing case management services, including the first home visit; (b) a written care plan for each case; (c) the reduction of blood lead level rates; and (d) the rates of case closure by category (e.g., medical or administrative closure.)

f. Strategic Partnerships

• The program should demonstrate the development of strategic partnerships with community organizations, health-care providers, and other governmental and non-governmental organizations conducting childhood lead poisoning prevention activities and/or developing protective policies, as well as other programs focused on children likely to be at high risk for lead poisoning (e.g., Women, Infant and Children Program (WIC), Immunizations, Asthma Control, Head Start and Healthy Start).

• Strategic partnerships should be demonstrated by the inclusion of letters of support, memoranda of understanding, and/or contracts in the application.

• Guidance for working with and within communities can be found in the CDC document, "Principles of Community Engagement" (found at: http://www.cdc.gov/phppo/pce/index.htm).

g. Activities With Organizations and Agencies Engaged in Lead Hazard Reduction and Development of Protective Policy

• The applicant should demonstrate coordination of, or plans to coordinate activities with those organizations engaged in lead remediation and abatement ( e.g. , housing agencies, HUD funded lead hazard reduction grantees, and banking, real estate, and insurance interests).

• Planned or ongoing activities should include the education and communication of childhood lead poisoning prevention efforts and protective policies to target audiences ( e.g. , landlords, homeowners, legislative officials).

• Planned or ongoing coordination activities should be demonstrated by the inclusion of letters of support, memoranda of understanding, and/or contracts in the application.

h. Evaluation Plan

The evaluation plan should address the effectiveness of the CLPPP by program area, as well as the overall impact of the program in reducing and preventing childhood lead poisoning within the jurisdiction. Evaluation should take place at least annually.

The evaluation plan should: (1) Address the program as a whole; (2) specifically address each program goal; (3) have measurable, achievable and time-phased objectives; (4) focus on programmatic outcome/impact on eliminating childhood lead poisoning as a public health problem; (5) include the name and qualifications of the person responsible for conducting the evaluation; (6) specify how often evaluation will be conducted; and (7) discuss how the results of the evaluation will be built into improving each of the program components.
