CDC: State and Local Preparedness Grants

The grants help state and local governments increase their ability to identify and respond to intentional use of biological, chemical, radiological or nuclear weapons, as well as develop all-hazard preparedness striving to prevent death, disability, disease and injury associated with related urgent health threats.

Rating

What This Rating Means

NOT PERFORMING
Results Not Demonstrated

A rating of Results Not Demonstrated (RND) indicates that a program has not been able to develop acceptable performance goals or collect data to determine whether it is performing.
  • While the purpose and importance of the programs effort are clear, results have not yet been demonstrated. In large part, this is due to the fact that the program is relatively new, and to the inherent difficulty of measuring preparedness against an event that does not regularly occur.
  • This effort is well coordinated with other Federal preparedness efforts including the Health Resources and Services Administration Hospital Preparedness grants. The programs have joint grant announcements and are cross referenced in cooperative agreements with grantees.
  • The formula for distribution of grants may not be optimal since it does not address varying threat levels or states of preparedness.

Improvement Plan

About Improvement Plans

We are taking the following actions to improve the performance of the program:

  • Developing and conducting independent program evaluations.
  • Working with grantees to ensure that performance data will be available to determine when acceptable preparedness has been demonstrated, and targeting assistance for areas not adequately prepared.
