Program Objective
The intent of this program is to fund state, local, and territorial public health departments for HHS Secretarial declared and non-declared public health emergencies having an overwhelming impact on jurisdictional resources. These emergencies require federal support to effectively respond to, manage, and address a significant public health threat. CDC seeks to enhance the Nation’s ability to rapidly mobilize and respond to specific public health crises or emergencies. In addition to immediate response activities, this program provides a mechanism to accelerate readiness for an impending infectious disease threat or other public health crises identified on the event horizon.

Description
The purpose of this program is to strengthen state, local, tribal, and territorial public health preparedness and response capability through a continuous cycle of planning, organizing, training, equipping, exercising, evaluating, and taking corrective action. An effective public health response will prevent or reduce morbidity and mortality from threats and emergencies whose scale, rapid onset, and unpredictability stresses the public health system and ensure the earliest possible recovery and return of the system to pre-incident levels or improved functioning.

Use of Funds
Allowed Uses

In response to this Notice of Funding Opportunity Announcement, applicants having an existing public health department which provides for their jurisdictions’ 10 essential public health services and having a pre-established and functioning public health emergency management program will describe the needs/gaps they may encounter during the initial phase of a public health emergency, and request funding for various categories of response activities. Upon occurrence of a particular public health emergency, CDC can then rapidly fund specific applicants to accelerate crisis response activities and specific categories/activities based on the particular situation. Applicants will need to be capable of activating new or surging current emergency response activities within a 2 day period.
