Strengthening Public Health Systems and Services through National Partnerships to Improve and Protect the Nation's Health: The purpose of this notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) is to announce the availability of supplemental funding for the organizations that were previously awarded funding under CDC-RFA-OT18-1802: "Preventive Health and Health Services - Strengthening Public Health Systems and Services through National Partnerships to Improve and Protect the Nation's Health - financed in part by Prevention and Public Health Funds (PPHF)." The CDC-RFA-OT18-1802 recipients are eligible to submit applications for new FY18 CIO Project Plans according to the Target Population Category (A, B, or C) for which they received initial funding in FY2018. This supplemental funding opportunity permits recipients to strengthen the nation's public health infrastructure, ensure a competent, current and connected public health system, and improve delivery of essential services through capacity building assistance (CBA). CBA is defined as activities that strengthen and maintain the infrastructure and resources necessary to sustain or improve system, organizational, community or individual processes and competencies. CBA is delivered through technical assistance, training, information sharing, technology transfer, materials development, or funding that enables organizations to serve customers better and operate in a comprehensive, responsive, and effective manner. The goal is to fund nongovernmental organizations that have the capability, expertise, resources, reach, and history of providing capacity building relevant to implementing this program's key strategies, activities, and outcomes. The program strategies include strengthening the capacities of health systems infrastructure; leadership and workforce; data and information systems; communication and information technology; partnerships; laws, regulations, and policies; and programs and services. Capacity building efforts of this program are expected to strengthen and optimize the public health system and services to improve the nation's health.
