What is the CDC?
We have identified five core capabilities that are fundamental to meeting our agency's priorities:
- Develop and deploy world-class data and analytics for more targeted, quicker outbreak responses. We must not be historical, or even real-time. We must be predictive.
- As the reference lab to the world, we must maintain state-of-the-art laboratory capacity. Our science is shared around the world to solve real-world public health problems.
- Uphold an elite public health workforce to stay on the cutting edge. CDC’s scientists and health experts are trusted, world leaders in diseases and one of our greatest assets.”
- Quickly responding to outbreaks at their source, in the U.S. and abroad.
- Building on the current foundation of a strong global health capacity and domestic preparedness.
