Centers for Disease Control - NCHHSTP

Description

CDC plans to establish and fund up to four regionally-assigned Tuberculosis Centers of Excellence (TB COE) to facilitate efforts to prevent, treat, and control TB disease and latent TB infection (LTBI) in the United States (U.S.). The TB COE will focus on two major activities: (1) increasing knowledge, skills, and abilities for TB prevention and control through communication, education, and training activities, and; (2) improving sustainable evidence based TB clinical practices and patient care through the provision of expert medical consultation. The funds available for these core activities will be used to support TB and LTBI communication efforts, training, education, and medical consultation activities.
