Additional Information on Eligibility: Eligible applicants that can apply for this funding opportunity are listed below: Nonprofit with 501(c)(3) IRS status (other than institution of higher education) Nonprofit without 501(c)(3) IRS status (other than institution of higher education) Faith-based organizations Federally recognized or state-recognized American Indian/Alaska Native tribal governments American Indian/Alaska native tribally designated organizations Alaska Native health corporations Urban Indian health organizations Justification for Limited Eligibility: While CDC is viewed as a trusted and credible source for immunization information, recent studies have shown that many people are influenced by immunization information from web-based communications or other electronic media resources, some of which is not scientific, accurate, or credible (see Vaccine Criticism on the World Wide Web, Zimmerman et al, J Med Internet Res., 2005 Jun3 29; 7(2):e17) and Antivaccination Activists on the World Wide Web, Davies P, Chapman S, Leask J, Arch Dis Child, 2002 Jul;87(1):22-5). This cooperative agreement is designed to provide an alternate source of scientific, accurate and credible immunization information in reaching minority populations through various venues including electronic and/or digital formats to complement CDCs own web-based resources, and to provide information for persons who would prefer to receive immunization information from non-government sources.
Grant Description: The purpose of the program will be to implement effective approaches for improving immunization rates among one or more minority groups for whom studies show evidence of under-immunization or other disparities in vaccine coverage. For the purpose of this project, minority groups are defined as in the 2000 census: American Indian or Alaskan Native, Asian American, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, and Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander.
