Authority
Public Health Emergency Preparedness is authorized by Public Health Service Act, 319C-1 (Improving State and local public health security), administered by HHS / CDC, as a formula program. Statute.
Non-competitive formula under PHS Act section 319C-1. The Secretary sets a base amount per recipient, then adds a population-weighted share equal to the ratio of the recipient's population to the total population of the States applied to the appropriation remaining after base amounts and any Secretary reservation. A statutory minimum award applies to states, DC, and Puerto Rico, set at the lesser of 5000000 or a percentage-based calculation, which is reflected in the FY2024 table where multiple low-population states receive a 5000000 Base Plus Population floor. Two additional funding streams sit on top of the base: the Cities Readiness Initiative (CRI) and Level 1 Chemical Laboratory funding. No statutory cost-share/match is stated in the program materials reviewed.
