MRC STTRONG Grants

ASPR Awards $50 Million from the American Rescue Plan to 33 States or Jurisdictions

Thirty-three awardees in states and jurisdictions across the country have just received a total of $50 million under the MRC State, Territory and Tribal Nations, Representative Organizations for Next Generation (MRC-STTRONG) grant program.  Funding for the first-ever MRC-STTRONG is from the American Rescue Plan.

States and jurisdictions will use these funds to strengthen the MRC network – focusing on emergency preparedness, response, and health equity needs. The awardees have all proposed projects that will bolster community response capabilities around the nation, building on the invaluable role that the MRC played during our fight against COVID-19.
