Description:A total of $40 million requested in Budget Authority for Advanced Molecular Detection and Response to Infectious Disease Outbreaks. CDC currently lacks the molecular sequencing tools and bioinformatics capacity to meet the demands of today's rapidly changing laboratory environment. This funding will enable CDC to build critical capacities at the national and state levels on the use of advanced molecular detection (AMD) technologies to enhance infectious disease prevention and control. Examples of public health benefits resulting from these enhanced capacities include: More rapid and accurate disease diagnoses and enhanced recognition of antimicrobial resistance, enabling better targeting of prevention and treatment measures (e.g., quickly identifying infections and their susceptibility or resistance to antibiotics); Improved surveillance information on the transmissibility of infections and the extent and spread of outbreaks, leading to faster and more effective control efforts.
