Authorize Acceptance of Additional Public Health Infrastructure and Workforce Grant Funding (Districts: All)
Body
Overview
The Strengthening U.S. Public Health Infrastructure, Workforce, and Data Systems grant (PHIG) is a groundbreaking investment that supports critical public health infrastructure needs of jurisdictions across the United States.

The $33,336,020 included $27,007,405 for PHIG Strategy A1: Workforce and $6,328,615 for PHIG Strategy A2: Foundational Capabilities.
