IZPHD Attachment E Introductory Email- Phase 1

Attachment E: Web-based Instrument Introductory Email

Greetings:

As part of an ongoing effort to improve CDC’s work with health departments, the Immunization Services Division within the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases is undertaking an assessment, Health Department Challenges in Implementation of CDC Immunization Funding. The goal of this assessment is to identify the successes and challenges that immunization awardees have encountered and the opportunities for future improvements related to utilizing their federal immunization funding. This assessment was mentioned in the February 12^th email you received from Brock Lamont, Chief of the Program Operations Branch of the Immunization Services Division, discussing a number of different cooperative agreement initiatives.

As part of this specific effort, the National Network for Public Health Institutes (NNPHI) is working with CDC on this assessment and gathering feedback on successes and challenges of funding utilization from immunization program managers at awardee health departments. Information gathered during this assessment will be important in shaping the development and roll-out of future immunization funding initiatives for local and state health departments.

We request that the immunization program manager from each awardee health department complete this web-based tool to provide feedback to CDC. Please do not forward this link to others. We estimate it will take approximately 20 minutes to complete the questionnaire.

You can access the web-based tool here https://nnphi.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_56akoTGSIAfilZX. Please complete the assessment by {DATE}.

If you have any questions about this specific web-based tool, please contact us at [email protected]. If you have any questions about the overall project, please contact Dr. Jack Nemecek at [email protected]. Thank you for your participation.

Sincerely,

Assessment of Immunization Awardee Funding Utilization Team
