| The Division of Tuberculosis Elimination at CDC/USDHHS is the equivalent of the National Tuberculosis Control Program for the United States. We coordinate national research and program activities with other federal organizations in the United States (e.g., Food and Drug Administration, National Institutes of Health) through the Federal Tuberculosis Task Force, and with local and state tuberculosis programs through the National Tuberculosis Controllers Association. Additionally, in response to epidemiologic trends in the United States and recommendations by the U.S. Institute of Medicine, our agency provides technical support to global tuberculosis control effors by focusing on expanding access to DOTS in high-burden countries, by sharing lessons gained through the unprecedented 1985-1992 resurgence of tuberculosis and multidrug resistant TB (DOTS-plus), and to improve control of TB/HIV as part of the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). CDC is one of the founding members of the STOP TB Partnership, and remains committed to the global prevention and control of tuberculosis. |
