This funding is intended to establish, expand, train, and sustain the SLTT public health workforce to support jurisdictional COVID-19 prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery initiatives, including school-based health programs. CDC expects public health agencies to use available funding to recruit, hire, and train personnel to address projected jurisdictional COVID-19 response needs over the performance period, including hiring personnel (see Allowable Costs section) to build capacity to address SLTT public health priorities deriving from COVID-19. CDC recommends that recipients use CDC’s Social Vulnerability Index data and tools to inform jurisdiction COVID-19 planning, response, and hiring strategies.
Funds jurisdictional public health departments for pre-approved applicants to address immediate and time-sensitive needs that are integral to specific public health responses.
