Tribal Public Health: Emergency Preparedness Grants
A senate committee must act next: committee consideration.
While the bill has several high-profile Democratic sponsors, it currently lacks Republican support and faces a crowded legislative calendar.
Scores run from -100 (strongly harmful) to +100 (strongly beneficial) for each group, combining impact, certainty, scope, and duration ratings of 1-5. How impact scoring works
The bill lets Indian Tribes, Tribal organizations, and consortiums of Tribes apply directly to the CDC for public health emergency preparedness grants instead of having to go through state governments. It guarantees at least 10 cooperative agreements to Tribal entities, reserves at least 5 percent of a $750 million yearly fund for them, and drops the usual requirement that grant recipients provide matching funds.
“The Secretary shall award at least 10 cooperative agreements under this section, in amounts not less than the minimum amount determined under clause (ii), to eligible entities described in subsection (b)(1)(D)”
