Recipients are eligible to submit applications for FY22 CIO Project Plans according to the Target Population Category and Target Population Description for which they received initial funding in FY18.

Executive Summary The purpose of this notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) is to announce the availability of supplemental funding for the organizations that were previously awarded funding under Funding Strategy 1 of CDC-RFA-OT18-1802: Strengthening Public Health Systems and Services through National Partnerships to Improve and Protect the Nation's Health. The CDC-RFA-OT18-1802 recipients are eligible to submit applications for new FY22 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. The goal is to fund recipients that have the capability, expertise, resources, reach, and history of providing capacity building relevant to implementing this program's key strategies, activities, and outcomes. The program strategies include strengthening the capacities of public health systems infrastructure;

leadership and workforce; data and information systems; communication and information technology; partnerships; laws and policies; and programs and services. The capacity-building efforts of this program are expected to strengthen and optimize the public health system and services to improve and protect the nation's health. This supplemental funding opportunity enables recipients to strengthen the nation's public health infrastructure; ensure a competent, current, and connected public health system; and improve delivery of essential services through capacity-building assistance (CBA). CBA is defined as activities that strengthen and maintain the infrastructure and resources necessary to sustain or improve system, organizational, community, or individual processes and competencies. CBA is delivered through technical assistance, training, information sharing, technology transfer, materials development, or funding that enables organizations to serve customers better and operate in a comprehensive, responsive, and effective manner.

Measurable outcomes of the program will be in alignment with one (or more) of the following performance goal(s) for the Office for State, Tribal, Local and Territorial Support

Section I. Funding Opportunity Description Statutory Authority The program is authorized under sections 317(k)(2) and 307 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. Sections 247b(k) and 242l, as amended). In addition, this program is authorized under sections 4002 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Public Law 111-148, the Coronavirus Preparedness and Response Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2020 (P.L. 116-123), the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), 2020 (P.L. 116-136), the Paycheck Protection Program and Healthcare Enhancement Act, 2020 (P.L. 116-139), and the Consolidated Appropriations Act and the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplement Appropriations Act, 2021 (P.L. 116-260).

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. FY22 CIO https://www.govregs.com/regulations/title42_chapterI_part2_subpartD_section2.52 https://www.hhs.gov/ohrp/regulations-and-policy/regulations/45-cfr-46/index.html https://phnci.org/national-frameworks/fphs https://phaboard.org/

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.

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

PLEASE NOTE: Effective April 4, 2022, applicants must have a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) at the time of application submission (SF-424, field 8c). The UEI is generated as part of SAM.gov registration. Current SAM.gov registrants have already been assigned their UEI and can view it in SAM.gov and Grants.gov. Additional information is available on the GSA website, SAM.gov, and Grants.gov- Finding the UEI.

a. Unique Entity Identifier (UEI):

https://www.grants.gov/ https://www.gsa.gov/about-us/organization/federal-acquisition-service/office-of-systems-management/integrated-award-environment-iae/iae-systems-information-kit/unique-entity-identifier-update https://sam.gov/content/home https://grantsgovprod.wordpress.com/2021/09/14/how-to-find-an-applicants-uei-within-grants-gov/ https://grantsgovprod.wordpress.com/2021/09/14/how-to-find-an-applicants-uei-within-grants-gov/

All applicant organizations must obtain a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) number by registering in SAM.gov prior to submitting an application. A UEI number is a unique twelve-digit identification number assigned to the registering organization.

If funds are awarded to an applicant organization that includes sub-recipients, those sub-recipients must provide their UEI 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 and a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI). 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 can require 10 or more business days, and registration must be renewed annually. Additional information about registration procedures may be found at SAM.gov and the SAM.gov Knowledge Base.
