ID: CDC-RFA-EH22-2202 • Type: Posted

Description

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Center for Environmental Health, Division of Environmental Health Science and Practice announces the availability of fiscal year (FY) 2022 funds for a cooperative agreement to strengthen and modernize environmental health data and surveillance in the United States. The purpose of the funding is to continue building public health capacity and expertise in environmental health surveillance and to modernize data systems to empower public health practitioners, healthcare providers, community members, policy members, and others to make information-driven decisions that affect their health. Since 2002, the Environmental Public Health Tracking Program has provided the United States with accurate and timely standardized information from a nationwide network of environmental health data to help drive actions to improve the health of communities. The information is shared via a network of people and the Environmental Public Health Tracking Network, a web-based system of integrated health and environmental data with components at the national, state, and local levels.
Background
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Center for Environmental Health, Division of Environmental Health Science and Practice announces the availability of fiscal year (FY) 2022 funds for a cooperative agreement to strengthen and modernize environmental health data and surveillance in the United States. The purpose of the funding is to continue building public health capacity and expertise in environmental health surveillance and to modernize data systems to empower public health practitioners, healthcare providers, community members, policy members, and others to make information-driven decisions that affect their health.

Grant Details
The World Health Organization estimates that 23% of the disease burden and 24% of all deaths worldwide are attributable to the environment. Accurate and timely data help public health leaders monitor trends and make informed decisions about prevention and control strategies that can protect individuals and communities from health issues arising from or directly related to environmental factors.

The Environmental Public Health Tracking Program (Tracking Program) has collected, integrated, analyzed, and disseminated non-infectious disease, environmental, and sociodemographic data from a nationwide collective of partners through the Environmental Public Health Tracking Network (Tracking Network), an easy-to-access, online, multi-tiered, interoperable system of data, tools, and services. The Tracking Program’s core strategies are to enhance data utility; improve data access and sharing; and increase Tracking Network awareness and use.

The Tracking Program will modernize surveillance activities and strengthen capacity of recipients by bolstering and scaling the Tracking Program’s infrastructure and processes. With this approach, CDC will modernize the Tracking Network to improve data timeliness and accuracy while reducing the burden on recipients.
