• Section 1 - Focus Area, Priorities, Multi-Year Objectives and Activities

• Section 2- Partner, Roles, and Resources Needed to Accomplish Objectives

• Section 3- General Questions

A Five-Year Regional Work Plan should include:

• priority areas and objectives, and at least 3 focus areas within those priority areas on ways State, Tribal, Local, and Territorial (STLT) and relevant partners can benefit from use of new or enhanced public health preparedness and response (PHPR) evidence-based strategies or interventions (EBSIs).

• prioritized EBSIs to implement.

• capability and capacity of STLT health departments and relevant partners to implement and evaluate activities to meet objectives.

• sustainability plan for implementation of evidence-based practice in the region beyond the five- year period.

Guidance on completing the work plan for HHS Regions:

• Identify at least 3 regional STLT focus area(s) that would benefit from translation, dissemination, and evaluation of promising research findings or evidence-informed or evidence- based practices. The focus areas should remain consistent throughout the performance period.

• Regional STLT PHPR focus areas may range from public health emergency type, Public Health Emergency Preparedness (PHEP) capability domain, and target population.

• The workplan should also cover known strategies or interventions, plans to implement each strategy or intervention, or the development and evaluation of new approaches.

• Establish minimum of 3 multi-year objectives per focus area and provide a detailed description of the objective supported by key data, policy, and/or literature findings.

• Ensure objectives meet the SMART criteria.

• Identify activities to meet objectives in Five-Year Regional Work Plans.

• Incorporate health equity and population-specific considerations and how it will be addressed within each focus area. If the objective does not include these specifications, please indicate why.
