What is PHIG?
The Public Health Infrastructure Grant (PHIG) team at the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) is spearheading a transformative initiative to fortify the state's public health system. Our mission centers on three critical pillars: workforce development, enhancement of foundational capabilities, and data modernization. By strategically investing in these areas, we aim to repair and strengthen Illinois' public health infrastructure, ensuring a more resilient and responsive system.
Our team encompasses a range of essential functions to drive this initiative forward. The team focuses on expanding and upskilling the public health workforce, streamlining operational systems, and implementing cutting-edge data management solutions. Strategic leadership and oversight ensure the grant's direction aligns with IDPH's broader goals, while project coordination manages day-to-day operations, facilitates inter-departmental collaboration, and monitors project timelines. Our evaluation function is crucial, facilitating comprehensive progress reporting, implementing grant performance measures, and conducting evaluation activities.
