C. The proposed budget should be based on the federal funding level stated in the letter from CDC.

D. In a separate narrative, provide a detailed, line-item budget justification of the funding amount requested, including any request to use unobligated funds, to support the activities to be carried out with those funds.

3. Indirect Cost Rate Agreement Requirements for development and submission of indirect (F&A) cost rate proposals and cost allocation plans for all grantees are contained in 45 CFR Part 75, Appendices III through VII.

Instructions for Indirect (F&A) costs Rate Determination for Institutes of Higher Education For recipients subject to 45 CFR part 75 Appendix III, the OPDIV will apply the negotiated rate(s) in effect at the beginning of a period of performance to determine facilities and administrative (F&A) costs for the entire period of performance. If the rate agreement(s) in effect at the beginning of the period does not cover the entire period of performance, then the Rate in effect for the last year of the negotiated rate agreement will be used to determine indirect costs for the duration of the period of performance. Grantees subject to 45 CFR part 75 Appendix III may not rebudget from direct costs to accommodate a rate increase if the F&A costs provided for a period were based on negotiated (fixed or predetermined) rates rather than provisional rates (defined as not “negotiated” for the application of the 45 CFR part 75 Appendix III). If negotiated rate agreements do not extend through the life of the federal award at the time of the initial award, then the negotiated rate for the last year of the federal award must be extended through the end of the life of the federal award.

The following instructions apply to Non-Profit Organizations, State/Local Government and Indian Tribe wide Central Service Cost Allocation Plans

A. If indirect costs are requested, include a copy of the current negotiated federal indirect cost rate agreement or a cost allocation plan approval letter for those Grantees under such a plan.

D. If an Indirect Cost Rate Agreement is not in effect, indirect costs may be charged as direct if (1) this practice is consist with the grantee’s/applicant’s approved accounting practices; and (2) if the costs are adequately supported and justified. Please see the Budget Guidelines (http://www.cdc.gov/grants/applying/application-resources.html) for additional information.

b. Provide a timeline for accomplishment;

c. Identify and justify any redirection of activities; and

d. Explain the methods you will use to implement the new, redirected activities.

Additional Program Requirements (if applicable):

In addition to the cancer registry hub project that has been funded in previous project periods, there is continued funding for the IARC Handbook of Cancer Prevention Vol. 16, Weight Control. This support includes funding for a literature review that provides information on gaps in the literature in the area of cancer prevention and weight control that will inform the future work of DCPC. A more detailed description of CDC’s interest in this project is included below:

In 2002, the IARC Working Group for a previous cancer prevention handbook on weight control and physical activity, concluded: “There is sufficient evidence in humans for a cancer-preventive effect of avoidance of weight gain for cancers of the colon, breast (postmenopausal), endometrium, kidney (renal-cell) and oesophagus (adenocarcinoma).” In addition, there was “inadequate evidence in humans for a cancer-preventive effect of intentional weight loss for any cancer site.”

These conclusions need to be revisited, in light of more recent evidence indicating additional cancer sites associated with overweight/obesity, and data suggesting a reduction in all-cancer and site-specific (notably endometrial) incidences following intentional weight loss. In this update, the following parameters will be evaluated:

• Cancer types associated with high BMI, with particular focus on new cancer sites;

• Gender specificities;

• Age specificities;

• Types of body fatness;

• Risk reversal after intentional weight loss, by cancer type;

• Evidence on weight control and cancer risk in cancer survivors.
