Role in Oregon
The CDC supports public health preparedness, chronic disease prevention, immunization programs, and epidemiology capacity in Oregon.
Key Programs
- Public Health Emergency Preparedness (PHEP) cooperative agreement — flows through OHA
- Immunization and Vaccines for Children — flows through OHA
- Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion — flows through OHA
- HIV/STI/TB prevention — flows through OHA Public Health Division
- Environmental health and injury prevention — flows through OHA
How Funding Flows to OR Providers
Nearly all CDC funding reaches Oregon providers through the Oregon Health Authority's Public Health Division. OHA then sub-awards or contracts with local public health authorities (Oregon's 34 county and tribal health departments), community-based organizations, and tribal health programs. Direct CDC awards to non-state entities are rare in Oregon.
Typical Award Types
Cooperative agreements (5-year cycles), formula grants, competitive supplements
