Public Health Infrastructure and Systems

Every tool and resource it takes to keep your local health department running.


Local public health infrastructure includes the systems, competencies, frameworks, relationships, and resources that enable public health agencies to perform their core functions and essential services. Infrastructure categories encompass human, organizational, informational, legal, policy, and fiscal resources.

NACCHO's infrastructure and systems programs create tools to build local health department infrastructure and systems; collect, analyze, and disseminate knowledge and insights from demonstration and pilot sites; lead trainings, informatics, and MAPP; and conduct research to strengthen local health department infrastructure by informing public policy and identifying needs.

With support from the National Center for State, Tribal, Local and Territorial Public Health Infrastructure and Workforce at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC PHIC), the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) is pleased to offer an opportunity to deliver customized performance and systems improvement training and technical assistance to local public health departments (LHDs) through statewide or state-level public health associations / organizations.

The Request for Applications (RFA) will be released on Monday, October 2, 2023, and all requests must be submitted no later than Friday, November 3, 2023, at 5 PM EST.

Applicants are able to request a consultation and guidance session with CDC PHIC and NACCHO to provide input and feedback on proposed ideas and to learn more about the request and the type of support that best fits the applicant and the needs of their target audience.

CDC PHIC and NACCHO hosted an informational webinar on Thursday, October 5, 2023 where interested applicants learned more about the opportunity, including changes to the request process and timeline, and asked questions. Webinar attendees also had the opportunity to hear from previous recipients. If you missed the informational webinar you can view the recording here and download the slides here.
