NACCHO is the voice of the nearly 3,000 LHDs across the country. NACCHO provides resources to help LHD leaders develop public health policies and programs to ensure that communities have access to the vital programs and services people need to keep them protected from disease and disaster. Additionally, NACCHO advocates on behalf of LHDs with federal policymakers for adequate resources, appropriate public health legislation, and sensible policies to address the myriad of challenges facing communities.
To advance LHD engagement in infection prevention and control (IPC), NACCHO is partnering with Project Firstline, a collaborative managed by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Project Firstline strives to equip public health and frontline healthcare workers with infection control principles and protocols so they can confidently apply them to protect themselves and their facility, family, and community. As a Project Firstline partner, NACCHO addresses and supports the specific IPC-related learning needs of LHDs.
With funding from CDC, NACCHO will award up to $50,000 for a consultant, or consulting firm, to support NACCHO and its partners with the development of a train-the-trainer curriculum to prepare LHD staff to implement Project Firstline training in their community’s healthcare facilities. The selected consultant will work collaboratively with NACCHO and its partners, providing feedback and subject matter insight related to IPC practices.
NACCHO will issue one award in the form of an hourly goods and services contract up to $50,000 to complete the required activities.
