Background: <br />The primary mission of the Communicable Disease Branch (CDB) is to reduce morbidity and mortality <br />resulting from communicable diseases that are a significant threat to the public through detection, <br />investigation, testing, treatment, tracking, control, education, and care activities to improve the health of <br />people in North Carolina. <br />As part of the “Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act” or the “CARES Act” of 2020, the <br />Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC’s) Epidemiology and Laboratory Capacity (ELC) <br />CARES cooperative agreement is awarding a total of nearly $631 million to our recipient base in a <br />program-initiated component funding under the Emerging Issues (E) Project of CK19-1904, henceforth <br />“ELC CARES.” The intention of this funding is to rapidly establish and monitor key activities related to <br />COVID-19 in the areas of epidemiology, laboratory, and informatics. Monitoring the indicators <br />associated with these activities are intended to assist State, local, and territorial governments in making <br />data-driven policy decisions regarding testing, mitigation, and prevention efforts. <br />The Division of Public Health (DPH), Communicable Disease Branch (CDB), is making an allocation of <br />these funds available to all local health departments through the “CDC-RFA-TP18-1802, Cooperative <br />Agreement for Emergency Response: Public Health Crisis Response, COVID-19 Crisis Response <br />Cooperative Agreement – Components A and B Supplemental Funding” to carry out surveillance, <br />epidemiology, laboratory capacity, infection control, mitigation, communications, and other <br />preparedness and response activities. <br />nbontrager@orangecountync.gov <br />919-245-2407 <br />Natalie Bontrager <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: 7198D781-BEA6-4795-A20A-3948F519ECD6 <br />7/30/2020
