Health Education-Risk Reduction Grant Program FY 1980

摘要

Projects funded under the $15.9 million Health Education-Risk Reduction (HERR) grant program, administered by the Bureau of Health Education, are described. These State and territorial projects are capacity-building grants to establish a focus within each program to update and maintain an inventory of existing health education-risk reduction programs and services, establish and foster working relationships among agencies, determine risk factor prevalence data, survey and establish systems for acquiring chronic disease morbidity and mortality data, and help communities develop organized approaches to risk reduction. Fifty-four State and territorial projects, 21 local intervention projects initiated in 1979, and 144 newly initiated local intervention projects were funded. Each program description includes the name of the applicant, a description of the target group, program objectives, methodology, and evaluation plans. Also included are (1) a map showing the geographic areas covered by the programs; (2) a chart showing the target group, target risks, setting, methodology, and funding level for each program; and (3) the reprinted Federal Register pages detailing rules and regulations that govern the HERR program.
