      Our Mission: To strengthen the nation’s clinical and public health laboratory system by continually improving quality and safety, informatics and data science, and workforce competency

      Our Work

      • Quality and safety. Improve the quality and safety of public health and clinical laboratory science and practice.

      • Informatics and data science. Strengthen interoperability and the application of laboratory data and information systems.

      • Training and workforce development. Enhance the competency and sustainability of the public health and clinical laboratory workforces.

      • Biorepository science. Promote excellence in biorepository science to advance population health, patient care, and research.

      Our Services

      • Execute federal responsibilities for managing the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) program in partnership with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and FDA.

      • Develop and evaluate standards, guidelines, and recommendations to improve laboratory quality and safety across the nation.

      • Support the advancement of health IT standards— such as harmonizing laboratory testing codes (e.g., LOINC, SNOMED CT)—to enable meaningful comparison of results worldwide.

      • Implement informatics and data science approaches to evaluate laboratory practices and improve access to and analysis of laboratory information that supports clinical and public health outcomes.

      • Provide reliable biorepository services to CDC scientists and collaborators to manage valuable specimen collections and reference materials.

      • Develop, deliver, and evaluate laboratory quality, safety, and informatics training and resources to enhance laboratory workforce competencies.

      • Improve the effectiveness and sustainability of state and local public health laboratories by developing shared systems, fostering regional and national coordination of systems, and supporting collective improvement of testing services.
