Cdc Public Health Research: Health Protection Research Intiative Centers of Excellence in Health Promotion Economics Center Core Grant (P30): The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Office of Science Policy and Technology Transfer (OSPTT), Office of Public Health Research (OPHR) announces the availability of FY 2004 funds to provide core support for the establishment of Centers of Excellence in Health Promotion Economics. This RFA is a component of the CDCs FY 2004 Health Protection Research initiative. Health protection should be interpreted to include activities that 1) promote health and or prevent disease, injury, or disability or 2) protect people from health threats including infectious, environmental, and terrorist threats. Centers of Excellence in Health Promotion Economics will apply economic theory and methods to areas that have a high probability of improving the efficiency and effectiveness of priority health protection activities. Health promotion economics is defined as the study of the relationship between societys resources and its efforts to promote health. The demand for health promotion-related goods and services exceeds the available resources, so means must be devised to allocate these resources between competing ends. Research in health promotion economics should be interpreted to include, but not be limited to, that which 1) explores economic priorities, barriers and solutions to developing, implementing, and evaluating health promotion policies, guidelines, recommendations, and programs; 2) examines supply and demand for health promotion including examination of market imperfections and externalities; and 3) evaluates the cost effectiveness and efficiency of such polices and programs. Health promotion focuses on creating policies and developing behaviors that result in lowering the risk of disease, injury and disability. By promoting health (through physical activity, diet, etc.) and preventing disease, injury, and disability (through the use of seat belts, antimicrobial prophylaxis therapy, etc.), people are given the opportunity to achieve their expected lifespan with the best possible quality of health in every life stage.
