About the CDC Federal Infrastructure Grant
Minnesota was awarded $42.9 million for the Strengthening the U.S. Public Health Infrastructure, Workforce, and Data Systems Grant (CDC Federal Infrastructure Grant). As outlined in grant guidance, community health boards will receive 40% of the funds awarded to Minnesota for the workforce area of the grant. This is $16.4 million to community health boards for use over a five-year period.
This work is supported by funds made available from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), National Center for STLT Public Health Infrastructure and Workforce, through OE22-2203: Strengthening U.S. Public Health Infrastructure, Workforce, and Data Systems grant.
