Justification: Per Congressional Report language accompanying the
Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024, (Pub. L. 118-47)
approximately $5,819,999 in supplemental funding is being awarded in FY
2024 to the two RPPN cooperative agreement recipients to increase
activities to coordinate among the Nation's pediatric hospitals and
their communities to prepare for and coordinate research-informed
responses to future pandemics. This funding will increase the RPPN's
capacity to help the 10 pediatric hospitals in the network to curate
and disseminate guidance; develop models; increase the number of
children's hospitals participating in preparedness activities; and
integrate RPPN into existing HRSA regions for sustainability and
emergency coordination within the regions.
Funds will be used for project activities within the scope of the
current awards (as announced in the funding opportunity HRSA-21-104) to
improve everyday pediatric emergency readiness and pediatric pandemic
preparedness. Supplements will provide for the expansion of activities
within the current scope of the program to (a) increase partnerships
with the communities they serve, including efforts to prevent and
address disparities; (b) improve and expand pediatric emergency
readiness and preparedness of pre-hospital emergency medical services,
community emergency departments, and inpatient settings; and (c)
accelerate real-time dissemination of research-informed pediatric care.
The total amount provided through this supplemental funding to the two
awardees will be $5,819,999, resulting in a total amount for each
awardee of $11,358,048. Supplemental funding amounts per awardee differ
in order to meet the congressional direction to achieve parity between
the two awardees' total funding levels.
Projects approved by HRSA under this supplement are to be performed
from the date of award through August 31, 2025. Supplemental funding
for similar activities may be considered in future years, subject to
the availability of funding for the activity and satisfactory
performance.

Administrator.
