Additional Information

| Description: | The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Division of Tuberculosis Elimination (DTBE) is the lead Federal Agency for TB prevention and control (P&C) funding, resource coordination, and development and promulgation of national strategies and policies. As such, DTBE is continuing a 30-year strategy of federal involvement in funding essential elements in TB programs through a Cooperative Agreement (CoAg). The primary responsibility for designing and carrying out TB P&C activities rests with state and local health departments, not the Federal Government. This CoAg is intended to complement ongoing TB P&C and laboratory services and activities at the local and state level. It is not the intent of this CoAg to supplant, replace, or reduce state and local support for TB control activities and responsibilities (e.g., provision of medications, in-patient care, health department facilities). DTBE distributes TB CoAg funds to support TB P&C activities, Human Resource Development (HRD) activities and Public Health Laboratory Services based on data-driven funding formulas to align the funding with the changing TB epidemiology in the United States. The formula to support P&C and HRD activities was developed in collaboration with the National TB Controllers Association (NTCA) and has been gradually phased in over time. Starting in 2015, 100% of funds will be allocated according to the funding formula. Laboratory funding will be determined for each jurisdiction according to a workload-based formula. Laboratory funds are directed at ensuring high-quality laboratory testing with rapid turn-around-time (TAT) and improved efficiency in laboratory testing algorithms. Certain populations are disproportionately affected by TB, such as persons with HIV infection or diabetes, persons experiencing homelessness, persons who are incarcerated, or persons who use illicit substances. The TB incidence rate among foreign-born persons in 2013 was approximately 12 times greater than the incidence rate among U.S.-born persons, and the percentage of TB cases occurring in foreign-born persons continues to increase, reaching 64.6% in 2013. Achieving TB elimination in the United States will involve focusing on persons in these risk groups. Further priority should be focused on case clusters where genotype or field investigation information suggests recent transmission. For example, clusters involving homeless or incarcerated populations, or users of illicit substances, frequently involve recent transmission. Clusters with suspected recent transmission should be prioritized for intensified interventions to interrupt transmission. |
