CDC works 24/7 to protect America from health, safety and security threats, both foreign and in the U.S.
This 5-year grant project aims to continue the collaboration between the U.S. CDC and counterparts in China to mitigate the threat of infectious disease transmission globally. It focuses on enhancing technical collaboration, scientific exchange, and effective communication through trusted partnerships. The program is built around three major goals: strengthening public health systems and workforce capacity, decreasing the burden of tuberculosis (TB), and reducing influenza morbidity and mortality while enhancing preparedness for pandemic threats. Activities encompass joint investigations of disease outbreaks, innovative public health interventions, application of programmatic success to policy, international cooperation in response to public health emergencies, and promoting the transparent dissemination of public health data. This initiative is designed to leverage expertise in China and the U.S. for a mutually beneficial exchange, building sustainable expertise and capacity in global health security. Specific infectious diseases addressed may vary based on funding availability and identified priorities.
