Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Prevention and Surveillance in South Africa: Developing Community-Level Strategies That Work: RFA DD05-011 Grants.gov Secretary?s Forecast Summary CDC?s Procurement and Grants Office has published a program announcement entitled, ?Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Prevention and Surveillance in South Africa: Developing Community-Level Strategies That Work.? $300,000 [this amount is an estimate, and subject to the availability of funds] will be available in fiscal year 2005 to fund one award to support only non-profit NGOs or Universities in South Africa that can perform this activity. Applicants must identify and document their capacity to address urban and rural populations and meet the required volume of childbearing age women or birth cohort size, and the proportions of childbearing age women at risk or a birth cohort with a minimum FAS prevalence rate or communities with high HIV prevalence or the high risk targeted populations noted under the ?Identification of Target Populations? discussion in the announcement. Providing precise information as to how these requirements will be met is essential to the consideration of your application for review. The purpose of the program is to develop a model prevention program, successful in reducing hazardous alcohol use, reducing unintended pregnancies and/or promote pregnancy delay among childbearing age women at risk for an alcohol-exposed pregnancy in high risk communities (urban and rural) for Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) in South Africa.
