Maintenance Plan

Funding for the project is provided through the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP). Through the programs operated by the NCCDPHP, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) works to prevent chronic diseases and reduce their health and financial costs with an approach that brings together monitoring to understand the problems, communities to work toward solutions and support healthy behaviors, and health care systems to detect problems early and help reduce or eliminate unhealthy behaviors. The funding extends through the two-year anticipated STU period for this specification. Beyond that the committee will be seeking volunteers or additional funding from NCCPHP or related entities.
