SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Background: Each decade since 1980, the Healthy People initiative 
has established and monitored national health objectives with 10-year 
targets to meet a broad range of health needs, encourage collaborations 
across sectors, guide individuals toward making informed health 
decisions, and measure the impact of disease prevention and health 
promotion activities. Launched August 2020, the current iteration--
HP2030--leverages scientific insights and lessons from the past decade, 
along with the new knowledge of current data, trends, and innovations. 
HP2030 provides science- and evidence-based, 10-year national 
objectives for promoting health and preventing disease and sets targets 
to be achieved by the year 2030. It identifies public health priorities 
that address the major risks to health and well-being, and serves as a 
resource for preventing disease, promoting health, addressing SDOH, 
eliminating health disparities, and achieving health equity. HP2030 
reflects input from the Secretary's Advisory Committee on National 
Health Promotion and Disease Prevention; the National Academies of 
Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine; a technical expert panel; subject 
matter experts from across HHS and other federal agencies; and members 
of the public via multiple public comment periods. On behalf of HHS, 
ODPHP leads and manages the development and implementation of HP2030.
    The HP2030 framework and objectives outline the nation's plan for 
achieving the HP2030 vision of a society in which all people can 
achieve their full potential for health and well-being across the 
lifespan. HP2030's framework includes its vision, mission, overarching 
goals, guiding foundational principles, and is supported by over 350 
specific measurable objectives with targets, LHIs, and OHMs. HP2030 
serves as a resource and provides user-centered tools for disease 
prevention and health promotion, including science-based objectives, 
national and population-level data, evidence-based resources, and SDOH 
literature summaries. Detailed information about HP2030 is available at 
https://health.gov/healthypeople.

Requirements of Interested Organizations

    ODPHP invites organizations that support HP2030, disease 
prevention, health promotion, and well-being and that demonstrate 
efforts toward addressing SDOH, eliminating health disparities, and 
achieving health equity in the United States to submit a letter of 
interest to become an HP2030 Champion.
    HP2030 Champion. Organizations selected by ODPHP to be HP2030 
Champions will sign a letter of understanding (LOU) with ODPHP 
outlining the terms and parameters of their support for HP2030. 
Organizations selected to participate in the HP2030 Champion program 
with an active LOU will be granted use of the digital HP2030 Champion 
badge as long as the organization continues to work in alignment with 
the HP2030. Use of the HP2030 Champion badge does not imply any federal 
endorsement of the collaborating organization's general policies, 
activities, or products.

Eligibility for Interested Organizations

    HP2030 Champion. To be eligible to become an HP2030 Champion, an 
organization shall: (1) Have a demonstrated interest in, understanding 
of, and experience with disease prevention, heath promotion, SDOH,

organizational or corporate mission that is aligned with the HP2030 
vision, mission, overarching goals, foundational principles, or 
objectives; and (3) agree to sign a LOU with ODPHP, which will set 
forth the details of how the organization is supporting the vision of 
the HP2030.

    HP2030 Champions. Each HP2030 Champion letter of interest shall 
contain: (1) Organization name, location, website, and submitter's 
contact information; (2) a brief description of the organization's

disease prevention, health promotion, SDOH, health disparities, health 
equity, well-being, prioritizing underserved populations, donating

    Submission of a letter of interest does not guarantee acceptance as 
an HP2030 Champion. ODPHP will review and evaluate letters of interest 
for alignment with the HP2030 vision.
