Currently, only states and certain local entities may apply for PHEP funds to respond to public health emergencies, such as COVID-19. The CDC must award at least 10 cooperative agreements to tribal applicants.

The CDC may make certain modifications to the program after the consultation. 2022-12-29T23:18:22Z
