Role in Washington
The CDC supports public health preparedness, chronic disease prevention, immunization programs, and epidemiology capacity in Washington State.
Key Programs
- Public Health Emergency Preparedness (PHEP) cooperative agreement — flows through DOH

How Funding Flows to WA Providers
Nearly all CDC funding reaches Washington providers through the Department of Health (DOH). DOH serves as the primary recipient and then sub-awards or contracts with local health jurisdictions, tribal organizations, and community-based organizations. Direct CDC awards to non-state entities are rare in Washington.
Typical Award Types
Cooperative agreements (5-year cycles), formula grants, competitive supplements
