APPLETREE COVID-19 Supplemental Awards
In early 2021, ASTHO, with support from CDC’s National Center for Environmental Health and the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), announced awards to five state health agencies to support their responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. State health agencies in Arkansas, Indiana, Kentucky, Vermont, and Virginia were selected for this opportunity because of their recent application to ATSDR’s Partnership to Promote Local Efforts to Reduce Environmental Exposure (APPLETREE) cooperative agreement program. Vermont requested that ASTHO work directly with their partner organization, Informed Green Solutions (IGS), for this project. The factsheets below outline activities supported under these awards.
- Arkansas Department of Health
- Informed Green Solutions (Partner to Vermont Department of Health)
- Kentucky Department for Public Health
- Indiana Department of Health
- Virginia Department of Health
