Attachment 7. Invitation to Participate

Dear [Salutation] [Last Name],

The CDC Healthy Homes and Lead Poisoning Prevention Program invites you to complete an assessment of the key characteristics of your lead poisoning prevention program. Completion of the assessment is required by the current cooperative agreement under the funding opportunity announcement (FOA) entitled PPHF 2017: Lead Poisoning Prevention- Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention---financed partially by Prevention and Public Health Funds (CDC-RFA-EH17-1701PPHF17).

The purpose of the assessment is to identify: 1) jurisdictional legal frameworks governing CDC-funded childhood lead poisoning prevention programs in the United States, and 2) strategies for implementing childhood lead poisoning prevention activities in the United States. The information collection will be used: 1) to identify common characteristics of funded childhood lead poisoning prevention programs and 2) inform guidance and resource development for the activities conducted by the CDC Healthy Homes and Lead Poisoning Prevention in support of the ultimate goal, which is blood lead elimination in children. Assessment findings will be shared on CDC’s Healthy Homes and Lead Poisoning Prevention website and in response to inquiries by the public, press, and Congress.

The data will be kept secure throughout the analysis and reporting process.

The Awardee Lead Profile Assessment questionnaire should take no more than 7 minutes to gather required data and complete. Please follow this link to access the questionnaire: XXXXXXXXXXXXXX.
