It should address how the funding will not be duplicative of other federal funding, e.g., PHEP, ELC, etc; that is it should address new activities; activities that will increase speed, scale, and scope of existing efforts; and other identified issues that the applicant thinks will be critical to responding in the early stages of an emergency. Additionally, Component A funding should address the first 120 days of the response. It should be informed from the use of real costs from previous responses such as H1N1, Ebola, or Xxxx to the extent practical. Activities that are expected to be continued beyond the 120 days should be rolled into component B starting after the 120 days. Component B: The budget narrative for Component B should address high level concepts that address the strategies and activities in the logic model. It should address the elements of the planning scenario, such that activities related to an emerging infectious disease with multiple routes of transmission are accounted for in the proposal. It should address medical countermeasure activities (pharmaceutical and nonpharmaceutical), vector control activities, and an oral prophylaxes component required as a mitigation/intervention activity and the necessary resource elements with which to execute them. It should address areas of public health that will need to be strengthened/surged for the jurisdiction, such as, but not limited to surveillance (human and vector), epidemiology, laboratory, risk communications, emergency response coordination, etc. It should be informed from the use of real costs from previous responses such as H1N1, Ebola or Xxxx to the extent practical.
