Background

The Institute of Medicine (IOM) published a landmark report in 1988, The Future of

Public Health, that recognized the daunting role of governmental public health in ensuring basic health and safety. It stated that governmental public health agencies--representing the mainstay of the public health enterprise--were fragmented, underfunded, and lacked cross-cutting capabilities. Recommendations included building key abilities; providing adequate funding for basic services and achieving national goals; and clarifying basic authorities and responsibilities entrusted to public health agencies, boards of health, and health officials.

Persistent challenges such as underfunding, fragmented programs, workforce declines, health disparities and inequities, and emerging health threats continue to strain public health's capacity, resources, and impact. A 2012 IOM report, For the Public's Health: Investing in a

Healthier Future, recommended that investments be made in six foundational capacities and capabilities for public health departments: 1) information systems, surveillance, and epidemiology; 2) health planning; 3) partnership development and community mobilization; 4) policy development, analysis, and decision support; 5) communication; and 6) research, evaluation, and quality improvement. These investments were further defined under the

Foundational Public Health Services and Public Health Accreditation Board (PHAB) Standards

& Measures. Both have been cited as complementary and valuable frameworks for strengthening health departments and our nation's public health infrastructure. These needs have also been outlined in two key initiatives: Healthy People 2020, Healthy People 2030, and Public Health

3.0: A Call to Action to Create a 21st Century Public Health Infrastructure.

The public health system represents a complex and broad range of agencies, organizations, and individuals in which each plays a significant role in affecting the health of the population. Engaging multiple entities facilitates coordination to address public health needs in a systematic manner. Strengthening Public Health Systems and Services through National

Partnerships to Improve and Protect the Nations Health, (National Partners Cooperative

Agreement) was developed in response to the continued calls for the transformation of the public health system and the need to address ongoing challenges, including emerging health threats, health disparities and inequities, workforce declines, and fragmented programs. FY21 CIO

Project Plans being announce in this supplement include activities to address ongoing public health system challenges, including the continued challenges caused by COVID-19 and the system's ongoing response to combat new infections, variant strains, and vaccine education. The supplemental NOFO provides funding for CBA activities with target populations under three headings: Category A: Governmental Public Health Departments; Category B:

Workforce Segments across Governmental Public Health Departments; and Category C:

Other Governmental and Nongovernmental Public Health Components.

https://phnci.org/national-frameworks/fphs https://phaboard.org/

This supplement is only open to organizations awarded under Funding Strategy 1 of CDC-RFA-

OT18-1802. These organizations have demonstrated the capability, expertise, resources, national reach, and track record to implement one or more of the OT18-1802 program strategies: public health systems infrastructure; leadership and workforce; data and information systems;

communication and information technology; partnerships; laws and policies; and programs and services. The recipients are eligible to submit applications for new CIO Project Plans according to the Target Population Category (A, B, or C) and Target Population Description for which they received initial funding in FY18.

Purpose

The purposes of this supplemental funding opportunity are to strengthen the nation’s public health infrastructure, ensure a competent, current, and connected public health system, and improve delivery of essential public health services through capacity-building assistance (CBA).

Required Registrations

System for Award Management and Universal Identifier Requirements

An organization must be registered at the three following locations before it can submit an application for funding at www.grants.gov.

a. Data Universal Numbering System: All applicant organizations must obtain a Data

Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number. A DUNS number is a unique nine-digit identification number provided by Dun & Bradstreet (D&B). It will be used as the Universal

Identifier when applying for federal awards or cooperative agreements. The applicant organization may request a DUNS number by telephone at 1-866-705-5711 (toll free) or Internet at http://fedgov.dnb.com/webform/displayHomePage.do. The DUNS number will be provided at no charge. If funds are awarded to an applicant organization that includes sub-recipients, those sub-recipients must provide their DUNS numbers before accepting any funds.

b. System for Award Management (SAM): The SAM is the primary registrant database for the federal government and the repository into which an entity must submit information required to conduct business as a recipient. All applicant organizations must register with SAM, and will be assigned a SAM number. All information relevant to the SAM number must be current at all times during which the applicant has an application under consideration for funding by CDC. If an award is made, the SAM information must be maintained until a final financial report is submitted or the final payment is received, whichever is later. The SAM registration process usually requires not more than five business days, and registration must be renewed annually.

Additional information about registration procedures may be found at https://www.sam.gov/SAM/.
