Florida Department of Health Project Abstract The Strengthening Public Health Infrastructure grant will enable the Florida Department of Health (Department) to hire, retain, sustain, and train the public health workforce, strengthen its foundational capabilities, and invest in data modernization. The Florida Department of Health proposes to utilize the funding for the Public Health Infrastructure grant to serve many purposes. First, it will enable the Florida Department of Health to hire, retain, sustain, and train the public health workforce, and strengthen its foundational capabilities. Also, with potential investments in data modernization, public health services will be expanded, improved, and accelerated, and in turn public health concerns including emerging critical health risks will be better addressed and vulnerable populations will be better served. Projects within Strategy A1 will reinforce and expand the public health workforce by hiring, retaining, supporting, and training the workforce and by strengthening relevant workforce planning, systems, processes, and policies. Projects within Strategy A2 will address Foundational Capabilities (FC) to strengthen recipients’ overall systems, processes, and policies to ensure a strong core infrastructure needed to protect health. Through the Foundational Capabilities investments of this grant, we will maintain a comprehensive public health infrastructure, including all Public Health foundational capabilities, including a robust human resources capacity. Projects within the A3. Data Modernization Initiative will support jurisdictions to develop and deploy scalable, flexible, and sustainable technologies, policies, and methods to implement world-class data and analytical capabilities to support the Essential Public Health Services to better assist vulnerable and disproportionately impacted communities in need
