On March
23, 2010, the President signed into law
the Affordable Care Act (ACA), Public
Law 111–148. ACA is designed to
improve and expand the scope of health
care coverage for Americans. Cost
savings through disease prevention is an
important element of this legislation
and ACA has established a Prevention
and Public Health Fund (PPHF) for this
purpose. Specifically, the legislation
states in Section 4002 that the PPHF is
to ‘‘provide for expanded and sustained
national investment in prevention and
public health programs to improve
health and help restrain the rate of
growth in private and public sector
health care costs.’’ In addition, under
Section 5314, Fellowship training in
public health (Part E of title VII of the
Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C.
294n et seq., as amended by section
5206, is further amended by Sec. 778),
CDC is authorized to expand existing
fellowship training programs in the
critical areas of applied public health
epidemiology, public health laboratory
science and public health informatics.
Supplemental ACA funding, as
referenced in this notice, will enhance
the work of national, state and local
public health laboratories in the U.S.
through expansion of the Emerging
Infectious Diseases (EID) Laboratory
Fellowship Program. The EID
Fellowship, sponsored by the
