Today, the Biden-Harris Administration announced $7 billion in funding from the American Rescue Plan Act, passed in March. The funding would go to help states and localities increase their public health staffing and expertise, launch Public Health AmeriCorps, recruit and train public health leaders, building the laboratory workforce and building capacity for future outbreaks, and would create a new grant program to modernize the public health workforce.
