The purpose of the Round One and Round Two Funding Opportunities of “The Zika Health Care Services Program” is to support prevention activities and treatment services for men, women, including pregnant women, and children adversely or potentially impacted by the Zika virus.

A - Formula Grants (Cooperative Agreements)

The funds appropriated by P.L. 114-223 are available for states, territories, tribes or tribal organizations with active or local transmission of the Zika virus, as confirmed by the CDC. Active transmission refers to geographic areas for intervention and issuance of travel guidance in a setting where local Zika virus transmission is occurring. Local transmission of Zika virus means that mosquitoes in the area have been infected with Zika virus and can spread it to people. As of October 12, 2016, the CDC had reported that areas with active or local transmission of the Zika virus were American Samoa, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, and Florida. For the single source emergency Round One Funding Opportunity, these were the only territories and state eligible to receive funding as authorized under the legislation. Within these three territories and state, this single source emergency Round One Funding Opportunity was available to the territory and state health departments. As of the single source emergency Round Two Funding Opportunity close date (both deadlines), only one additional state was eligible, Texas. Within the state of Texas, only the state health department was eligible.
