Limited competition for this RFA is justified based on the following: In 2010, IOM, in its report titled, Hepatitis and Liver Cancer: A National Strategy for Prevention and Control of Hepatitis B and C, cited viral hepatitis as "a large and underappreciated health issue for the nation." The IOM articulated ways to improve prevention and care services and called for an intensified, coordinated national prevention and health-care effort. In response, HHS developed the Viral Hepatitis Action Plan, which set prevention goals, established program priorities, and assigned responsibilities for actions to meet priorities to HHS operating divisions, including CDC. To implement activities outlined in the plan, CDC will provide funds in the FOA for FY 2013-2015 to help state and local health departments implement or sustain prevention and surveillance activities.
