Public Health Infrastructure, Workforce, and Data Systems Grant (PHIG)

SITUATION: Under the Strengthening U.S. Public Health Infrastructure, Workforce, and Data Systems Grant, federal funding was invested in core infrastructure improvements for public health agencies. A portion of the Public Health Infrastructure Grant (PHIG) has been awarded to the Florida Department of Health in Duval County (DOH-Duval) from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which will assist in supporting and sustaining the Department’s workforce and in foundational public health services to target individuals that are disproportionately at risk for experiencing negative health outcomes.

PROGRAM OBJECTIVE: HPCNEF has partnered with DOH-Duval to provide contract management and monitoring services on this multi-year CDC grant, which addresses the areas of maternal and child health, food insecurity, and employee wellness.
