Can IHS and tribal hospitals receive 2009 H1N1 funds through the Hospital Preparedness Program?
Yes. While IHS and tribal hospitals cannot apply directly for 2009 H1N1 HPP funds, they are eligible to receive funding through the states. Who should we contact with questions or concerns related to funds for planning and vaccination implementation? You can contact the IHS Emergency Management Point of Contact (EMPOC) for your Area (contact information below). In addition, each project area has a CDC project officer with the Division of State and Local Readiness assigned to oversee the PHER funds. Contact information for the CDC Project Officers is included below.
