ASCP has joined more than 70 organizations in supporting FY 2023 funding for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) programs.

This has hampered many of the Agency’s prevention programs from effectively impacting all states. The signers of the letter urged Congress to give “health promotion and disease prevention top priority in federal funding, to support a funding level for CDC that enables it to carry out its prevention mission, and to ensure an adequate translation of new research into effective state and local programs.”
