This
program awards grants through cooperative agreements to operate regional equity
assistance centers to enable them to provide technical assistance and training,
at the request of school boards and other responsible governmental agencies, on
the preparation, adoption, and implementation of plans for the desegregation of
public schools--which in this context means plans for equity (including
desegregation based on race, sex, and national origin)--and in the development
of effective methods of coping with special educational problems occasioned by
desegregation. The Equity Assistance Centers (formerly the Desegregation
Assistance Centers) assist States, districts, and public schools to provide
effective instruction to all students and specifically to those students for
whom disparities in achievement persist.

The Mental Health Transformation State Incentive Grant program is one of
SAMHSA's Infrastructure Grant programs. This program will support an array of
infrastructure and service delivery improvement activities to help grantees -
i.e., States, Territories, the District of Columbia, and/or federally recognized
American Indian/Alaska Native Tribes or Tribal Organizations - build a solid
foundation for delivering and sustaining effective mental health and related
services. These grants are unique in that they will support new and expanded
planning and development to promote transformation to systems explicitly
designed to foster recovery and meet the multiple needs of consumers.
The Mental Health Transformation State Incentive Grant Program is responsive to
the broad systemic recommendation contained in the final report of the
President's New Freedom Commission on Mental Health, Achieving the Promise:
Transforming Mental Health Care in America. The Commission goal is to increase
the availability of high-quality services and overcome the existing
fragmentation.

This is a modification of
RFA SP-05-002-Renewal. This RFA was published on January 13, 2005, and
previously modified on January 19, 2005. This modification corrects the
criteria used to screen out applications from review. The information contained
in this modification was inadvertently omitted from the RFA.
If an application for a renewal grant fails to adhere to the requirements and
criteria in Appendix A of the RFA, it may not, in itself, result in the
application being screened out and returned without review. These requirements
and criteria are also cross referenced in Sections III-3, IV-2.1, IV-2.3, and
IV-3 of the RFA. The information provided in the application must be sufficient
for review. If an application for a renewal grant fails to meet the timely
submission requirements in Section IV-3, it may affect the ability of the
application to be funded.
Applicants must still meet the eligibility criteria
in Section III-1. This modification does not alter the formatting requirements
and screenout criteria for applications for new grants under RFA SP-05-002-New.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announces the
availability of fiscal year 2005 cooperative agreement funds to expand the
capacity of national professional organizations to address the topic of sexual
violence prevention within their constituency of licensed healthcare providers.
The purpose of this funding is to support the creation of education and support
materials that address sexual violence prevention within an organization that
regularly provides professional development opportunities to its constituents.
The products will foster the knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary for
licensed healthcare providers to address sexual violence prevention in their
practices. Research suggests that sexual violence is characterized by risk and
protective factors across multiple domains of influence, as represented by the
ecological model presented in the World Report on Violence and Health. The
domains of influence include individual, relationship, community, and society.
Sexual violence prevention activities include those that are aimed at addressing
the domains of influence of potential victims, perpetrators, and bystanders.
