The Minnesota Department of Health Financial Management Division has been awarded a $850,486 cooperative agreement from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) under the Project Grants and Cooperative Agreements for Tuberculosis Control Programs (CFDA 93.116). This five-year project aims to complement the state's existing tuberculosis (TB) prevention and control efforts through activities such as TB surveillance, case management, contact investigations, drug susceptibility testing, cluster detection, refugee/immigrant evaluations, and workforce development. The key objectives are to reduce TB mortality and morbidity, fulfill the state's obligations as a high-burden TB jurisdiction, and work towards CDC's short, intermediate, and long-term TB elimination outcomes. The award will fund a comprehensive set of TB prevention and control strategies, including diagnosis and treatment of TB disease, contact investigations, targeted testing and treatment of high-risk populations, program monitoring and evaluation, and public health laboratory strengthening.
