2021 ELC Awards by Jurisdiction
Critical COVID-19 Response and Base Infectious Disease Funding Awarded to 64 Domestic Health Departments in 2020 & June 2021
Since 1995, the ELC Cooperative Agreement has been critical to U.S. health departments’ ability to detect, respond to, control, and prevent infectious diseases. The 64 ELC recipients include all 50 states, several large metro areas, and U.S. territories and affiliates. The ELC strengthens public health program growth while providing crucial flexibility needed to address emerging infectious disease issues.
ELC financial support is awarded each year based upon many factors, including recipient need and funds available. In Budget Period 3, (August 1, 2021-July 31, 2022) CDC awarded $247,884,012 to the 64 ELC recipients, which include all 50 states, several large metro areas, and U.S. territories and affiliates.
Additional funds are made available through ELC in the event of public health crises, like the COVID-19 pandemic. Total COVID-19 funding awards for each recipient in Budget Periods 1-3 are listed here.
