recruiting, training, retaining, and building capacity of the public
health workforce to support overdose prevention programs such as
Overdose Data to Action (OD2A) and the Overdose Response Strategy
(ORS)and has established a clear process for infrastructure and
capacity building needs. CDCF is widely recognized by public health
entities and partners and is the only organization that was created by
Congress to mobilize philanthropic and private-sector resources to
support the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) critical
health protection work which has been critical in allowing this program
to support capacity building within state, tribal, local, and
territorial health departments and partnership development across all
facets of public health.
