The Alaska Division of Public Health uses funding from the CDC's Epidemiology and Laboratory Capacity for Prevention and Control of Emerging Infectious Diseases (ELC) award to strengthen and enhance key aspects of public health infectious disease surveillance. This includes ensuring that disease investigation and epidemiologist staff are competently trained and readily available; that laboratory practices and procedures are standardized and modernized; and that data systems are robust and integrated to support both internal and external needs. Further, activities proposed for ELC funds are complemented by other federal awards intended to support related aspects of public health emergency preparedness, and infrastructure and workforce development.
HHS’ Tracking Accountability in Government Grants System (TAGGS) website provides access to detailed descriptions of grants, loans, aggregated direct payments and other types of financial assistance awarded by the HHS Operating Divisions (OPDIVs) and the Office of the Secretary Staff Divisions (STAFFDIVs).
