Opportunity Summary:
Strengthening Public Health Infrastructure for Improved Health Outcomes is a CDC cooperative agreement program designed to help public health departments build stronger, more consistent performance management systems so they can meet public health goals more effectively and efficiently. The core idea is to move health departments toward a more measurable, standards-based way of operating by improving how they set priorities, track progress, use data to guide decisions, and continuously improve quality. In practice, the program is meant to strengthen the underlying infrastructure that supports public health work, not just fund isolated projects, by developing the management capacity needed to deliver better health outcomes over time.
A major emphasis of the opportunity is aligning health department practice with widely recognized national public health performance and quality standards. The announcement specifically points applicants toward frameworks and benchmarks such as the National Public Health Performance Standards Program, the Public Health Accreditation Board standards for accreditation readiness and achievement, and quality improvement concepts consistent with the National Quality Forum. The intent is to make health department operations more accountable and transparent by institutionalizing performance measurement, quality improvement, and systems that demonstrate results. By building this kind of capacity, participating agencies should be better positioned to document improvements, identify gaps, and sustain effective interventions.
The award was offered as a discretionary funding opportunity under CFDA 93.507 (PPHF National Public Health Improvement Initiative), using a cooperative agreement mechanism, which typically means CDC expects substantial involvement in areas like guidance, technical support, and oversight compared with a standard grant. The funding opportunity number is CDC RFA CD10-1011. CDC anticipated making about 85 awards, with an estimated total funding level of $212,500,000. Individual awards were expected to fall between $1,100,000 (floor) and $3,100,000 (ceiling). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces barriers for eligible governmental applicants that may not have flexible funds available.
Eligibility was targeted to governmental public health entities and closely related agents. Eligible applicants included all 50 states and Washington, D.C.; nine large local health departments serving cities with populations of one million or more (Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, New York City, Philadelphia, Phoenix, San Antonio, and San Diego); five U.S. territories; three U.S.-affiliated Pacific islands; and up to seven federally recognized tribes that have an established public health department structure (or equivalent) providing services to tribal members. The announcement also allowed applications from bona fide agents applying on behalf of an eligible state or local government entity, but required formal documentation, including a letter from the relevant government confirming the bona fide agent status.
Key dates show this was a time-limited 2010 opportunity: it was posted July 8, 2010, with an original and current closing date of August 9, 2010, and an archive date of September 9, 2010. To support prospective applicants, CDC scheduled multiple pre-application technical assistance information sessions by phone on July 20 and 21, 2010, with times adjusted for U.S. time zones and Pacific jurisdictions, and indicated that transcripts and recordings would be posted on the CDC OSTLTS website.
For applicants needing help accessing full materials, the notice directed them to the complete announcement document (linked from the posting) and provided a CDC Procurement and Grants Office technical contact through the Technical Information Management Section (TIMS) at 770-488-2700. Overall, the opportunity reflects CDCs broader goal of improving public health systems performance by investing in the management, measurement, and quality infrastructure that allows health departments to meet national standards and deliver more reliable, demonstrable results.
