DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
Notice of Award of a Single-Source Cooperative Agreement To Fund
the World Health Organization (WHO)
AGENCY: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), located
within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), announces the
award of approximately $375,000 with an expected total funding of
$1,875,000 over a five-year period to the World Health Organization
(WHO) to support activities that promote the development of data
systems to monitor injuries and violence; and to implement and evaluate
evidence-based strategies to prevent and control injuries and violence.
DATES: The period for this award will be September 1, 2022, through
August 31, 2027.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ericka Lowe Marvin, National Center
for Injury Prevention and Control, Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, 4770 Buford Highway, MS S106-10, Atlanta, GA 30341,
Telephone: 800-232-6348, email: <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#387d6a740a785b5c5b165f574e"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="1550475927557671763b727a63">[email protected]</span></a>.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Both injuries and violence are leading
causes of death around the world. These deaths occur due to road
traffic crashes, falls, drownings, other unintentional injuries, and
from acts of interpersonal violence. However, this represents a
fraction of the problem, as tens of millions more suffer injuries that
lead to hospitalization or other medical care. Many of those who
survive injuries are left with temporary or permanent disabilities.
Additionally, victims of physical, sexual, and emotional abuse suffer
from a range of chronic conditions, diseases, and mental health
problems throughout their lifetimes. The objective of this award is to
continue to raise awareness of these issues; measure the scope of the
problem; and implement evidence-based solutions that will be relevant
for violence and injury prevention efforts globally, including the
United States.
WHO is in a unique position to conduct this work, as it is
responsible for providing leadership on global health matters, shaping
the health research agenda, articulating evidence-based policy options,
providing technical support to countries, and monitoring and assessing
health trends. WHO is the directing and coordinating authority for
health within the United Nations. As a UN agency, it has a relationship
with many national governments, which allows access to vital records
and other governmental surveillance systems. Additionally, WHO has
access to government staff who would conduct training related to
violence and injury prevention nationally. The WHO has a mandate under
a variety of UN General Assembly and World Health Assembly Resolutions
to coordinate the efforts of UN agencies to work together to prevent
injuries and violence in developing countries.
Summary of the Award
Recipient: World Health Organization (WHO).
Purpose of the Award: The purpose of this award is to support

injuries and violence; and to implement and evaluate evidence-based,
comprehensive strategies to prevent and control injuries and violence.
