SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March
23, 2010, the President signed into law
the Affordable Care Act (ACA), Public
Law 111–148. The 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 the 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.’’ The ACA and the Prevention and
Public Health Fund make improving
public health a priority with
investments to improve public health.
The PPHF states that the Secretary
shall transfer amounts in the Fund to
accounts within the Department of
Health and Human Services to increase
funding, over the fiscal year 2008 level,
for programs authorized by the Public
Health Service Act, for prevention,
wellness and public health activities
including prevention research and
health screenings, such as the
Community Transformation Grant
Program, the Education and Outreach
Campaign for Preventative Benefits, and
Immunization Programs.
The ACA legislation affords an
important opportunity to advance
public health across the lifespan and to
improve public health by supporting the
Tracking Network. This network builds
on ongoing efforts within the public
health and environmental sectors to
improve health tracking, hazard
monitoring and response capacity.
Therefore, increasing funding available
to applicants under this FOA using the
PO 00000
Frm 00054
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
41501
PPHF will allow them to expand and
sustain their existing tracking networks,
utilize tracking data available on
networks for potential public health
assessments which is consistent with
the purpose of the PPHF, as stated
above, and to provide for an expanded
and sustained national investment in
prevention and public health programs.
Further, the Secretary allocated funds to
CDC, pursuant to the PPHF, for the
types of activities this FOA is designed
to carry out.
