The Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response is seeking public feedback on its Hospital Preparedness Program funding formula. The HPP is the primary source of federal funding for health care preparedness and response. 

ASPR is seeking comments on how it could change data sources and information it uses to determine the formula's risk component. Any potential changes to the formula will influence distribution of HPP funds beginning in fiscal year 2025. Comments are due Dec. 20.
