Uses and Use Restrictions
The program provides funding to assist in eliminating childhood lead poisoning.
Grant awards may not be expended for medical care and treatment, or for environmental remediation of lead sources.
Eligibility Requirements
Applicant Eligibility
Applicants should review the individual CDC Funding Opportunity Announcement document issued under this CFDA program for any required proof or certifications that must be submitted prior to, or simultaneous with, submission of an application package.
Beneficiary Eligibility
Others who will receive benefits from the program include infants and children from six months to six years of age who are screened for lead poisoning and family members who care for lead-poisoned children.

Since the side effects of lead poisoning can be long lasting, benefits of the program can also affect youth and adults, persons at all educational and income levels, and urban, suburban and rural populations.
