Preventive Health and Health Services Block Grant - 2025 CDC-RFA-PW-25-2500

The Preventive Health and Health Services (PHHS) Block Grant Program, administered by the Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, seeks to provide state governments with flexible funding to address unique public health needs through evidence-based and innovative community-driven methods. Eligible applicants include all 50 US states, the District of Columbia, two American Indian Tribes, five U.S. Territories, and three Freely Associated States, with the primary objective of reducing disease burden, improving public health infrastructure, and responding to emerging health issues. Applicants must submit their proposals through the Public Health Infrastructure Virtual Engagement (PHIVE) platform by July 31, 2025, aligning with the goals outlined in Healthy People 2030. The program has specific restrictions on unallowable costs, including prohibitions on purchasing naloxone, syringes, drug disposal programs, and clinical care services. Evaluation will likely focus on the applicant's ability to develop targeted, locally-relevant public health interventions that demonstrate potential for meaningful community impact.

The total funding allocation for this grant opportunity is approximately $162,000,000, with individual state awards ranging from $36,716 for smaller territories like the Republic of Palau to $11,795,173 for larger states such as New York. The grant's budget and performance period will run from October 1, 2024, to September 30, 2026, with an anticipated award date of September 15, 2025. The funding is classified as non-research and is composed of $155,000,000 in annual basic funding and $7,000,000 in sex offense-related funding, calculated based on 2020 population data. Recipients will have the flexibility to design and implement public health programs tailored to their specific regional needs and challenges.
