This supplement will provide state, tribal, local and territorial (STLT) health departments available capacity building assistance (CBA) that will improve public health infrastructure investment planning, coordination, implementation, evaluation, and dissemination of evidence based practices. The supplement supports STLT health departments in their efforts to ensure improvements in the public health infrastructure so that they are prepared for responding to both acute and chronic threats relating to the Nation’s health such as emerging infections, disparities in health status, and increases in chronic disease and injury rates. The overall goal of this supplement is to support the provision of CBA to state, tribal, local and territorial (STLT) health departments that ensures performance improvement and successful adoption of evidenced based practices to address key areas of public health infrastructure investments. CBA is defined as a set of methods for translating, packaging, and disseminating information and new technologies, and imparting knowledge and skills. CBA can be provided through information synthesis, and dissemination; and through technology transfer, technical assistance, and training.
