In September of 2024, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced funding for a network of ten Regional Centers for Public Health Preparedness and Response.
The Regional Centers will play an essential role in advancing the uptake of evidence-based strategies and interventions across communities, enhancing their ability to prepare for and respond to public health threats. In addition to the core funding, CDC is supporting efforts for tribal, rural, and frontier communities to disseminate and implement tailored evidence-based strategies and interventions.
Five-year cooperative agreements were awarded by the CDC’s Office of Readiness and Response (ORR) Division of Readiness and Response Science (DRRS) to one institution in each of the ten U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) regions.
