Cooperative Agreement NU58DP007882

The Pennsylvania Department of Health was awarded a $750,040 Cooperative Agreement under the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Assistance Programs for Chronic Disease Prevention and Control (CFDA 93.945). The award, with a performance period from September 30, 2024 to June 29, 2029, will support the department's work to plan, develop, integrate, coordinate, and evaluate programs focused on preventing and controlling chronic diseases across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. As the lead public health agency for the state, the Pennsylvania Department of Health will leverage partnerships with local health departments, universities, nonprofits, and healthcare providers to deliver critical public health services and initiatives, including enhancing disease surveillance, implementing evidence-based interventions, and developing public awareness strategies to address chronic health conditions and reduce health disparities. The Cooperative Agreement funding allows the department to build upon its extensive federal contract and grant experience, which includes managing large projects for the CDC, Department of Homeland Security, and Social Security Administration.
