Description

In March 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act(PPACA) established the Prevention and Public Health Fund (PPHF) to provide for expanded and sustained national investment in prevention and public health programs, including prevention research, health screenings, and immunization programs. PPACA appropriated $500 million for FY 2010, $750 million for FY 2011, and additional amounts for future fiscal years to operationalize the PPHF. The Dept. of Health and Human Services (HHS) allocates funding from the PPHF for specific prevention and public health activities administered by HHS agencies. The agencies, once funds are transferred to them, use the PPHF funds to support individual projects through, for example, grants and contracts. This report describes, for FY 2010 and 2011, (1) the HHS agencies and activities for which PPHF allocations were made; (2) the process and criteria HHS used to allocate PPHF funds; and (3) HHS reporting of the outcomes of activities receiving PPHF funding. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.
