- eligible nonprofit or governmental organizations that wish to participate in a CDC Foundation program addressing a specific health issue.
- a consultant/independent contractor (i.e. a sole proprietor, company, nonprofit, etc.) whose services are retained for a specified activity/project during a set time frame. The consultant/independent contractor works independently and is paid according to the terms of their written agreement with the Foundation. The consultant/independent contractor is not an employee of the CDC Foundation.

Workforce Acceleration Initiative
In February 2024, the CDC Foundation was awarded federal funds from CDC, through the Association of Public Health Laboratories, to launch the Workforce Acceleration Initiative (WAI). The goal of WAI is to strengthen public health agencies’/authorities’ (PHA) capacity to deliver information system improvements that are of top priority to each PHA by adding technology and data experts to their teams. Specifically, with support through WAI and the placement of skill data and technology professionals, PHAs will accelerate the ability of their information systems to provide on- demand, real-time health data insights and to enhance their infrastructure for improving the public’s health, consistent with CDC’s Public Health Data Strategy (PHDS) goals. As part of the efforts to provide data experts to the selected PHAs, the CDC Foundation is issuing this Request for Information (RFI) to identify a pool of pre-qualified individuals or agencies from whom we will solicit and select contractors to support of diverse PHAs in addressing their varied needs. Respondents to this RFI found capable will be added to a pool of prequalified potential suppliers. As specific contractor projects are identified, CDC Foundation will release a Request for Application (RFA) or other solicitation to the list of pre-qualified suppliers and select contractors using evaluation criteria specific to each project. Prequalification will last for a period of two years.
