Notice of Intent To Award Affordable Care Act (ACA) Funding

Краткое содержание

This notice provides public announcement of CDC's intent to award Affordable Care Act (ACA) appropriations to the Connecticut Department of Public Health and the Georgia Department of Community Health to conduct vaccine effectiveness activities for rotavirus vaccine and 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV). These activities were requested by the two grantees in their FY 2011 non- competitive continuation applications submitted under funding opportunity CI05-026, "Emerging Infections Program (EIP)," Catalogue of Federal Domestic Assistance Number (CFDA): 93.283. Due to a lack of funding availability, these activities were either approved but unfunded or only partially funded in the grantee's FY 2011 continuation award. Only these two EIP sites requested funding for the rotavirus activities and only one site (Georgia) requested funding for the PCV activities. Since no other EIP sites requested funding for these specific activities, Connecticut and Georgia will be the only sites receiving funding for these activities. Approximately $433,500 in ACA funding will be awarded, which includes $333,500 for Rotavirus and $100,000 for PCV, to increase the amount of funding available
