National Home and Hospice Care
Survey (NHHCS)—OMB No. 0920–

National Center for Health Statistics

Prevention.
Background and Brief Description
The National Home and Hospice Care
Survey (NHHCS) is part of the Long-
term Care Component of the National
Health Care Survey. The NHHCS was
conducted in 1992, 1993, 1994, 1996,

1998, and 2000. NHHCS data describe a
major segment of the long-term care
system and are used extensively for
health care research, health planning
and public policy. The NHHCS provides
data on the characteristics of home
health and hospice agencies (e.g.,
Medicare and Medicaid certification,
ownership, membership in chains/
nursing home/hospital systems, etc.);
patients (e.g., demographics, functional
status, services received, diagnoses,
sources of payment, etc.); and staff (e.g.
staffing mix, turnover, benefits, training,
education, etc.). The survey provides
detailed information on utilization and
staffing patterns, and quality of care
variables that are needed to make
accurate assessments of the need for and
effects of changes in the provision and
financing of long-term care for the
elderly and disabled. The availability
and use of long-term care services are
becoming increasingly important issues
as the number of elderly increases and
persons with disabilities live longer.
Equally as important is ensuring the
adequacy and availability of the long- the National Association for Health

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND

Centers for Disease Control and

Funding Opportunity Number AA113;
Rural HIV/AIDS Prevention Project;
Notice of Intent To Fund Single
Eligibility Award
A. Purpose
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) announces the
availability of fiscal year (FY) 2005
funds for a cooperative agreement to
assist rural HIV prevention program
providers in developing and delivering
HIV prevention programs by (1)
identifying effective HIV prevention
programs and innovative materials and
(2) disseminating this information to
rural HIV prevention providers. The
Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance
number for this program is 93.939.
B. Eligible Applicant
Assistance will be provided only to
the Rural Center for AIDS/STD
Prevention/Indiana University (IU). No
other applicants are solicited. The Rural
Center for AIDS/STD Prevention (IU) is
the appropriate and only qualified
agency to provide the services specified
under this cooperative agreement
because:
• The Rural Center is the only such
organization that solely focuses on HIV/
STD prevention for all rural
communities in the country. The Rural
Center has been emphasizing HIV/STD
prevention in rural communities for
over ten years. The Rural Center has
developed relationships with HIV
prevention providers in rural
communities, earning their trust and
willingness to share information about
their activities.
• An extensive internet search of
organizations providing HIV prevention
services to rural communities
throughout the U.S., as described in this
program announcement, did not
identify any other comparable
organizations.
• The Rural Center is widely
recognized as a valuable resource for
rural HIV/STD prevention specialists;
its Web site receives over 30,000 ‘‘hits’’
per month. The Rural Center
disseminates HIV/STD prevention
VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:26 Sep 30, 2005 Jkt 205001
information and research findings
through various professional trainings
and prevention guidelines development.
• The Rural Center has established
the National Network of Rural HIV/STD
Prevention Specialists. This network of
over 800 members provides a forum (e.g.
e-mail listserv) for rural HIV/STD
prevention specialists to discuss
prevention-related issues for rural
communities, to exchange information,
and to offer support. This network forms
the basis for communication with rural
HIV prevention programs. Other
organizations serving rural communities
are state or regionally based.
• The Rural Center distributes
monthly STD/HIV prevention updates
via e-mail and fax to several hundred
rural HIV/STD prevention specialists
throughout the country.
• The Rural Center has a collaborative
working relationship with the National
Rural Health Association (NRHA) and
conducts national conferences every
two years for rural HIV/STD prevention
specialists. The goal of the conferences
is to present model rural HIV/STD
prevention programs and emphasize
information exchange and lessons
learned. The Rural Center complements
the activities of NRHA because NRHA
does not provide specific HIV/AIDS-
related services.
C. Funding
Approximately $245,471 is available
in FY 2005 to fund this award February
1, 2006 and will be made for a 12-month
budget period within a project period of
up to five years. Funding estimates may
change.
