The program funds public health agencies for activities in support of population-based public health services, as opposed to direct provision of health care (e.g., safety-net provider services). The program is designed as a one-time, short-term stimulus to catalyze and facilitate greater participation by public health agencies in health information exchanges.

State and local health departments and nonprofit organizations, such as public health institutes, specifically designated by a state or local health department to receive funds on their behalf, were eligible to apply.
