The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, Public Law 111-5 (ARRA) was signed into law on February 17, 2009. The Recovery Act is designed to stimulate economic recovery in various ways including strengthening the Nation's healthcare infrastructure and reducing healthcare costs. Within the Recovery Act, $50 million was authorized to support states in the prevention and reduction of healthcare-associated infections (HAI). The HAI Recovery Act funds will be invested in efforts that support surveillance and prevention of HAIs, encourage collaboration, train the workforce in HAI prevention, and measure outcomes. Many of these funds will be used to support activities outlined in the HHS Action Plan to Prevent Healthcare-Associated Infections. This webpage provides information on obtaining funding through the Epidemiology and Laboratory Capacity (ELC) and Emerging Infections Program (EIP).
