Description:
The President released the fiscal year (FY) 2013 budget request February 13, 2012. Total funding requested for CDC and ATSDR is $11.2 billion, which includes discretionary authority, mandatory funding, Public Health Service (PHS) Evaluation funds, transfers from the Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund (PHSSEF), and allocations from Prevention and Public Health Fund (PPHF) for CDC and ATSDR. The overall amount is $39.5 million above the FY 2012 level.

With this budget request, CDC is prioritizing programs to address the leading causes of death; creating more coordinated, national approaches to disease prevention and health promotion; disseminating and bolstering the best available science; and streamlining activities to increase efficiency.

Key Increases – The budget request increases support for core programs, such as domestic HIV/AIDS prevention, food safety, surveillance and prevention of healthcare-associated infections, health statistics, global polio eradication, and improving the efficiency of state laboratories.

Key Savings and New Program Approaches – The budget request also prioritizes streamlined agency operations by transitioning from disease-specific to more integrated budget lines, incorporating best practices into other programs, and building on one-time investments in FY 2012.
