titled: ‘‘Technical Assistance to Obtain
Local Health Department and
Community Input for National Health
Security-related Activities’’.
Statutory Authority: Public Health
Service Act, Section 1703(a), 42 U.S.C.

Estimated Amount of Award:
$1,500,000 USD.
Project Period: September 30, 2013 to

SUMMARY: ASPR requires collaboration
with local health departments and
officials to ensure that local
governments, communities, private
sector entities, non-governmental
organizations, academia, and
individuals can optimally coordinate
their respective national health security
roles and responsibilities to achieve
community health resilience and
strengthen health care, public health,
and emergency management systems.
This project aims to improve
collaboration between ASPR and the
local health departments (LHDs) to
enhance national health security, foster
community health resilience, and
strengthen health care, public health,
and emergency management systems.
One of the overarching goals of both
the National Health Security Strategy
(2009) and the ASPR Strategic Plan
2011–2015 is to build community health
resilience. ASPR seeks to partner with
LHDs and health officials which play a
critical role in building community
health resilience by employing and
evaluating localized public health
strategies, such as preparing local
communities to withstand and recover
from public health emergencies and
disasters, and engaging local health
departments and health care
organizations to build healthcare
coalitions. The project will foster better
approaches for building community
health resilience.
LHDs and health officials are
intimately familiar with the
communities and populations that they
serve and are an essential partner in
carrying out the mission of ASPR. ASPR
seeks to engage LHDs and health
officials as well as other appropriate
local stakeholders in bi-directional
communications to evaluate the
effectiveness of, and ensure that, ASPR’s
strategies, policies, and programmatic
activities are informed by and support
the needs of local communities. The
project will foster collaboration with
local health officials to achieve, for
example, national health security and
strengthen local emergency
preparedness, response, and recovery
systems and capabilities, and build
