Center for Disease Control: Agency and Role

Paper Summary:

This paper is a profile of Center for Disease Control, and reviews it's mission statement, functions, partnerships and alliances, global vs. national activities, funding and structure. This paper further reviews a grid that was prepared to compare and contrast the differences and inter-dependencies of the three levels of government support: federal, state and local.

From the Paper:

"The Center for Disease Control (CDC) is a federal agency that although portrayed in the media as mostly involved in the diagnosis of rare tropical and deadly diseases, is actually involved in much more far reaching areas of expertise ranging from birth defects and their prevention to on the job safety; all on a national level. This paper will describe the agency, its roles, funding and regulatory issues. Finally, a grid will present the differences and interdependent relationship of the CDC on the federal, state and local levels. While the CDC is a huge organization, performing many important functions with a vast number of sub-organizations and facilities that are administered by the CDC Office of the Director, this paper will only present a high level briefing on the topics mentioned; detailed presentations are considered beyond the scope of this presentation."
