  1. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC): Roles and Mission D. Joe Boone, Ph.D. Atlanta, Georgia February 23, 2010 National Defense Industrial Association Georgia Chapter Luncheon

  2. CDC’s Mission • To promote health and quality of life by preventing and controlling disease, injury, and disability • Works with partners throughout the nation and the world to: • Monitor health • Detect, investigate health problems • Conduct research to enhance prevention • Develop, advocate sound public health policies • Implement prevention strategies • Promote healthy behaviors • Foster safe and healthful environments • Provide leadership and training

  3. CDC Organizational Chart

  4. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) CDC’s 2010 budget is ~$10.1B : • Nearly 85 percent goes to extramural grants and contracts to help accomplish the mission to promote health and quality of life by preventing and controlling disease, injury, and disability. • The majority of these go to state and local governments. • Received $1B in ARRA funding almost all targeted for state and local governments.

  5. CDC Budget 1997-2009

  6. FY 2010 CDC Programs with Proposed Increases • HIV/AIDS, Domestic Testing Initiative (+$51.0M) • Strategic National Stockpile (+25.2M) • Public Health Emergency Preparedness (+$14.2M) • Health Statistics (+$13.2M) • Emerging Infectious Disease (+$10.0M) • Global Immunization Program (+$10.0M) • School Health (+$5.0M) • Safe Motherhood/Infant Health(+$5.0M) • Nanotechnology (+$5.0M) - NIOSH • Food Safety (+$4.0M) • Domestic Violence (+$3.0M) • Navajo Nation Uranium Studies (+$2.0M) • Paralysis Resource Center(+$2.0M) • Autism (+$1.6M)

  7. CDC’s Role in National Defense • Emergency Preparedness • Prepares for staff deployment • Conducts laboratory applied research • Recommends prevention measures, public health policies • Conducts surveillance • Manages Laboratory Response Network (LRN) • Conducts program evaluations • Partners liaisons/relationships • Emergency Response • Provides on-scene support • Provides Strategic National Stockpile (SNS) • Conducts investigations • Provides laboratory analyses and support

  8. Office of Public Health Preparedness • Helps nation prepare and respond to public health threats by providing strategic direction, support, and coordination across CDC and with state and local health departments. • Receives about $1B from Congress for response to natural, biological, chemical, radiological, and nuclear incidents. • Funding Guidance and Technical Assistance to States • Strategic National Stockpile • CDC Emergency Operations Center • Regulation of Select Agents • Science and Public Health Practice

  9. Laboratory Applied Research • Pandemic Influenza H1N1 • Surveillance for pandemic strains (Avian H5N1; 1918 Spanish Influenza) • Rapid methods to distinguish pandemic versus seasonal flu • Available to doctor’s offices • Vaccine development • Prevention of pandemic flu • Anti-viral medications

  10. Vaccine Development - Smallpox • Smallpox is potential terrorist threat • Younger population unvaccinated • CDC sought smallpox vaccine for the Strategic National Stockpile • CDC partnered to develop smallpox therapeutic products • live virus vaccine • Vaccinia Immune Globulin • FDA License granted 2007 for smallpox vaccine

  11. Laboratory Response Network (LRN) • Network of 150 Federal, State, local public health, & military laboratories that respond quickly to: • Chemical & biological terrorism • Emerging infectious diseases • Health threats • Emergencies • Level 3, 2, 1 labs • Responses • Anthrax attacks 2001 • Avian influenza • Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) • Biowatch

  12. Laboratory Methods – Exposure Assessment • Biomonitoring • Directly measures chemicals or their metabolites in biological specimens • Detects/confirms exposure to chemicals or their metabolites • Estimates extent/magnitude of exposure in persons or population • Important decision making tool in suspected terrorist events for • Public health officials • Military • Law enforcement officials

  13. Hypothetical Concentrations of Biomonitoring Products Over Time Blood Toxicant/Metabolite Urinary Metabolite If a chemical forms an adduct, its time window to assess exposure will be extended. Albumin Adduct Concentration HemoglobinAdduct DNA Adduct Urinary Adduct 1 10 100 1000 Time (Days) Needham and Sexton, JEAEE 10:611-629 (2000)

  14. Biomonitoring for HD – Sulfur Mustard • Mass spectrometry • Used biomonitoring methods to measure actual exposure to HD • 2 patients accidentally exposed • SBMTE found days 1-6 in both patients • Found albumin – HD adducts for biomonitoring • Adduct ½ life in patient = 21 days • Still detectable at 42 days

  15. Battelle: Known For Innovation Xerox • Energy, National Security, Health and Life Sciences, National Lab Mgmt are Core Businesses • Winner of 117 R&D 100 Awards • Over 350 patents issued for Battelle technology since 2001 • 38 Technology Groups ranging from Electrical Engineering to Advanced Materials to Information Technology to Photonics to Pollution Prevention Computer-BasedRobot Trainer Sonic Toothbrush Drug Inhaler “Heat Seat” Compact Disk
