New Funding to Support the Public Health Workforce

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has released a landmark Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to help reinvigorate and rebuild public health infrastructure, Strengthening U.S. Public Health Infrastructure, Workforce, and Data Systems. This nearly $4 billion five-year initiative “will provide cross-cutting support to public health agencies for critical infrastructure needs related to workforce, foundational capabilities, and modernizing public health data systems.” Component A grantees may be health departments; Component B grantees may be national organizations supporting the successful implementation of Component A grantees’ activities. Applications are due August 15, 2022. To learn more about this NOFO, visit the CDC website.

Add Your Voice to the "We are Public Health" Job Task Analysis

The National Board of Public Health Examiners (NBPHE) is conducting a worldwide "We are Public Health" job task analysis survey. This survey is being done to meet two important goals: to study the most common functions of the public health workforce on a region-by-region basis across the globe and to update the content outline of the Certified in Public Health (CPH) exam. Anyone working in public health is invited to participate. To learn more or take the survey, visit the NBPHE website.
