Title
Regional Centers for Public Health Preparedness and Response
Agencies
Centers for Disease Control (CDC)
Description
The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to establish up
to 10 centers (maximum one in each U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) region) for public health preparedness and response (PHPR).
Our goal is to increase the use of evidence-based strategies and interventions
(EBSIs) to improve PHPR in line with the needs of the communities involved.
This NOFO includes five components:
Component A
HHS Regions 1, 2, and 5
• Establish a Regional Coordinating Body in the respective region for which
you are applying (Year 1 only).
• Establish a Steering Committee (Year 1, to be maintained in years 2 – 5.
This may be a subset of the Regional Coordinating Body).
• Establish a regional center (Year 1, to be maintained in years 2 – 5).
• Develop in collaboration with your regional coordinating body a Five-Year
Regional Work Plan, FY2025-2030 (Year 1).
• Develop activities (Year 1) to meet objectives in the Five-Year Regional
Work Plan, FY2025-2030 to increase uptake of evidence-based strategies
and interventions (EBSIs).
• Implement and evaluate activities (Years 2 – 5) to meet objectives in the
Five-Year Regional Work Plan, FY2025–2030, to increase uptake of
evidence-based strategies and interventions (EBSIs).
Component B
HHS Regions 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10
• Establish a Steering Committee (Year 1, to be maintained in years 2 – 5.
This may be a subset of the Regional Coordinating Body that was
established under a FY23 contract to establish Five-Year Regional Work
Plans).
• Establish a regional center (Year 1, to be maintained in years 2 – 5).
• Develop, implement, and evaluate activities to meet objectives in the
Five-Year Regional Work Plan, FY2024 – 2029 provided by CDC to
recipients of this cooperative agreement in regions 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, & 10, to
increase uptake of evidence-based strategies and interventions (EBSIs).
Component C
Coordinate and support technical assistance to the network of regional
centers. (Years 1 – 5; optional)
Component D
Plan and implement additional activities to conduct basic and applied
research, conduct evaluation, support expansion of EBSIs, and enhance the
PHPR workforce’s scientific capabilities and other activities requested by CDC.
(optional, pending availability of funds)
Component E
To be considered for funding any time during the five-year period of
performance, applicants must submit proposals in the application package
for this NOFO.
• Establish working groups and develop and implement regional activities
for a Five-Year Regional Work Plans for tribal, rural or frontier
community. If funded, CDC will provide work plans that have been
developed under previous contract to regions 8, 9 and 10 (tribal, Regions
8 and 10 and Pacific Islands, Region 9) (optional, pending availability of
funds).
• Establish working groups and pilot test plans and processes supporting
an existing regional data ecosystem model relevant to one of the 10 HHS
regions. If funded in regions 4, 8 or 10, CDC will provide ecosystem
models that have been developed under previous contract (optional,
pending availability of funds).
CDC recommends the use of three templates to document and track the work
included in this NOFO[1]: A Five-Year Regional Work Plan template, a
Cooperative Agreement Work Plan (CAWP) Template, and an evaluation
template.
Five-Year Regional Work Plan Template: Use this template to document
and track the focus areas, objectives, and priorities established by
regional coordinating bodies. Add activities designed to meet those
objectives; including the overall NOFO objective of increasing
implementation of EBSIs.
• CAWP Template: Use this template to document and track regional
center engagement in and progress towards the overall strategies
included in the NOFO specific to the regional centers. In your project
narrative, you must provide a CAWP for your project.
• Evaluation Template: Use this template to document,
