Additional Information on Eligibility: Component 1: Arthritis Through this cooperative agreement, the Arthritis Program will limit funding to state health departments to identify models for disseminating evidence based interventions. The awards to state and local governments or their bona fide agents are required to successfully: . Leverage and integrate health department resources such as: o shared support of chronic disease centered public health professionals, o joint funding of complementary public health activities, o achieving overarching state arthritis policies within the state chronic disease plan (state plan) . Utilize the public health resources and capacity unique to state health departments to achieve a comprehensive state-wide arthritis system . Develop models that integrate with other state health department chronic disease programs affecting similar populations . Collect state-wide surveillance data on arthritis through unique data sources available to state health departments Previous Arthritis Program cooperative agreements have demonstrated that the eligible applicants have the unique capacities that are the basis for this funding. Component 2: Lupus This cooperative agreement will continue the lupus registry activities that have been undertaken in Georgia and Michigan under two previous cooperative agreements spanning the years 2003-2008. . It is imperative that the two currently funded state health departments continue as grantees to complete the registry of the identified catchment areas if these geographic areas are to remain intact . The protected medical records used by the current grantees cannot be used by other organizations, thus the existing progress in current registry catchment areas cannot be duplicated by new grantees . To stop either of the existing registries short of completion will render the progress to date of no value, and prior investments would be lost . Collection of surveillance data on lupus, through the HIPAA surveillance exemption of these two states, provides unique access to medical records The existing grantees unique data sources are required to continue this existing project to completion. They have been fully successful in their performance under the previous cooperative agreements and the activities have progressed at the desired rate.
Grant Description: Component 1: The purpose of this announcement is to build state arthritis programs that exponentially expand access and use of evidence-based interventions by embedding intervention programs into existing systems, conducting surveillance and data analysis to inform decision making, and developing state-level intervention, policy, and communication focused partnerships that further program goals. Component 2: The purpose of this announcement is to continue Lupus registry activities that have been undertaken in two states (Georgia and Michigan) under two previous cooperative agreements spanning the years 2003-2008.
