Potential Funding Opportunities

Division of Tuberculosis Elimination, Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention
Day 2, Afternoon Session
Ms. O’Toole summarized CDC’s TB-related funding. In fiscal year
(FY) 2003, DTBE allocated almost $140 million for domestic and international
activities. The majority of this funding goes to support TB programs
in state and big city health departments. About $2 million goes
to support international activities. A certain portion of DTBE’s
budget is set aside to fund research projects submitted by staff
of CDC, TB Epidemiologic Studies Consortium (TBESC) researchers,
and investigators from the TB Trials Consortium. Applicants first
submit research concepts that are initially screened by the TBESC
Research Chair and DTBE Associate Director for Science, then reviewed
and scored by a special committee and DTBE senior staff. Investigators
whose concepts receive high scores are asked to develop and submit
full proposals for review by DTBE.
Because of anticipated budgetary shortages in FY2004, no new projects
will be funded through this process this year. Depending on the
budget situation in FY2005, some new projects may be funded in that
fiscal year.
