Supporting Tribal Public Health Capacity in Coronavirus Preparedness and Response
On March 6, 2020, the President signed into law the Coronavirus Preparedness and Response Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2020 (P.L.
116-123).
This act provides funding to prevent, prepare for, and respond to Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19).
To support tribal public health emergency response to COVID-19, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is announcing a new, non-competitive grant CDC-RFA-OT20-2004 Supporting Tribal Public Health Capacity in Coronavirus Preparedness and Response.
CDC is awarding at least $40,000,000 under this funding opportunity to Title I and Title V tribal nations to strengthen the tribal public health system to carry out surveillance, epidemiology, laboratory capacity, infection control, mitigation, communications, and other preparedness and response activities in response to COVID-1 9. CDC is committed to helping ensure that tribal jurisdictions have adequate resources for an appropriate COVID-19 response.
The continued support for and expansion of critical public health activities at the tribal level are essential to meet the needs in this quickly evolving response.
Funds from this funding opportunity will be made available for a variety of activities including, but not limited to:
Emergency operations and coordination activities (e.g., establishing emergency operations centers, incident management systems, continuity of operations plans, etc.); Public health management and risk assessment of travelers and others with potential COVID-19 exposure; equipment, supplies, shipping activities, or others to strengthen jurisdictional recovery; Laboratory, surveillance, and epidemiologic (e.g., case identification) activities, data management activities, and others to strengthen bio surveillance; Risk communications activities, distribution and use of medical material, and others to strengthen information management; Activities to strengthen countermeasures and mitigation (e.g., storage and distribution systems, inventory management systems, points of dispensing (POD) alternative nodes, etc.; Surge staffing activities, infection control activities and others to strengthen surge management; and Other preparedness and response activities
