About this program
The Department of Health and Human Services Immediate Office of the Secretary funds metropolitan-area planning and exercises to establish rapid residential delivery of antibiotic medical countermeasures through the U.S. Postal Service in response to large-scale bioterrorism attacks, under Assistance Listing 93.016; the most recent grant award was disbursed on August 1, 2011.
This program is inactive. No grant opportunities have been posted since March 2011, and no awards have been made since August 2011—over 15 years ago. The portfolio comprises 20 total awards spanning 2004 to 2011, with the heaviest activity in 2006 and 2009; recent years show no disbursements. The program is no longer accepting applications.
When active, the program funded the development and testing of collaborative delivery models between USPS and local law enforcement under public health authority direction. Representative recent awards illustrate the scope: the County of San Diego received a Cooperative Agreement for $50,000 to plan postal-model countermeasures delivery; Louisville Metro received $48,528 for a postal model plan; and Minneapolis–Saint Paul received $200,000 for a full-scale exercise and implementation of corrective actions. The program's stated focus was anthrax-response planning, with emphasis on completing residential antibiotic delivery within 12 hours of attack detection.
Funding was entirely concentrated within the Department of Health and Human Services Immediate Office of the Secretary, which obligated $16.8 million across all 20 awards. The assistance-type mix was predominantly Cooperative Agreements (50%) and Block Grants (45%), with one Project Grant (5%). Representative award magnitudes ranged from $48,528 to $200,000 in the final funding cycle, though the portfolio included larger awards earlier in the decade.
A Cooperative Agreement solicitation (EP-PMC-11-001) was posted on January 28, 2011, with a due date of March 18, 2011, seeking applications from domestic public and private nonprofits, state and local governments, Indian tribes, faith-based and community-based organizations, hospitals, and institutions of higher education. This appears to have been the program's final open opportunity. No subsequent solicitations are present in the source.
Objective and description
- Objective
To help metropolitan areas augment their capabilities to respond to a large-scale bioterrorism attack. The primary focus is on developing and testing collaborative arrangements whereby the United States Postal Service (USPS) and local law enforcement agencies, under the direction of the local or State public health authority, would deliver self-administrable medical countermeasures (specifically, antibiotic drugs) to every residence in the at-risk area - potentially the entire community - with the goal of preventing disease and death and thus avoiding a public health catastrophe.
