SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 

23, 2010, the President signed into law 

the Affordable Care Act (ACA), Public 

Law 111–148. ACA is designed to 

improve and expand the scope of health 

care coverage for Americans. Cost 

savings through disease prevention is an 

important element of this legislation 

and ACA has established a Prevention 

and Public Health Fund (PPHF) for this 

purpose. Specifically, the legislation 

states in Section 4002 that the PPHF is 

to ‘‘provide for expanded and sustained 

national investment in prevention and 

public health programs to improve 

health and help restrain the rate of 

growth in private and public sector 

health care costs.’’ In addition, under 

Section 5314, Fellowship training in 

public health (Part E of title VII of the 

Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 

294n et seq., as amended by section 

5206, is further amended by Sec. 778), 

CDC is authorized to expand existing 

fellowship training programs in the 

critical areas of applied public health 

epidemiology, public health laboratory 

science and public health informatics. 

Supplemental ACA funding, as 

referenced in this notice, will enhance 

the work of national, state and local 

public health laboratories in the U.S. 

through expansion of the Emerging 

Infectious Diseases (EID) Laboratory 

Fellowship Program. The EID 

Fellowship, sponsored by the 

Association of Public Health 

Laboratories (APHL) and CDC and 

funded through a cooperative agreement 

with APHL, trains and prepares 

scientists for careers in public health 

laboratories and supports public health 

initiatives related to infectious disease 

research. The program aims to promote 

quality public health laboratory 

practice, improve public health 

laboratory infrastructure, strengthen the 

public health laboratory system, and 

develop a well-trained public health 

laboratory workforce. Activities that 

promote the development of a welltrained public health laboratory 

workforce are outlined in section 10 of 

the cooperative agreement. Therefore, 

the programmatic activities CDC 

proposes to support with these ACA 

funds are consistent with the intent of 

the Affordable Care Act and Prevention 

and Public Health Fund (PPHF), Section 

4002.
