Appendix D: Infectious Diseases NCHHSTP Hepatitis Supplemental Project Proposal

Appendix D: Infectious Diseases Focus Area Name Infectious Diseases

Focus Area Contact Information

Michelle Owens, smo2@cdc.gov

1. General Information

Project Name:

Viral Hepatitis

Project Activity Contact Information:

Tonya Hayden

Zdy0@cdc.gov 404-639-0979

Approximate Amount of Supplemental Funding Available $122,500

2. Project Description

i. Purpose

Facilitate the collaboration and sharing of best practices in viral hepatitis with member public health labs. This effort would support the travel of public health laboratory for a workshop on hepatitis diagnostics. This project would also be used to evaluate available diagnostic platforms on the market for viral hepatitis.

3. Outcomes

Activities in this project should achieve or contribute to the following proximal outcomes:

ii. Justification Workshops in viral hepatitis can facilitate identification of unmet needs in state and public health labs through participation and collaborate of our partner SPHLs.

iii. Identification of need There are challenges in the identification of current HCV infections in the United States due to a lack of nucleic acid testing due numerous factors that can be addressed in workshops. Additionally the interpretation of HBV serological markers is an issue that remains.

iv. New or expanded project New project mailto:smo2@cdc.gov

• PO-1. Improved collaboration and communication across public health laboratories and other stakeholders.

• PO-4. Improved awareness of new tools and resources for public health laboratories and stakeholders.

• PO-5. Improved awareness and understanding of public health laboratory workforce development needs and opportunities.

• PO-7. Enhanced technical and non-technical knowledge, skills, and abilities among public health laboratory professionals in diverse settings.

• PO-11. Improved awareness and understanding among laboratory professionals of emerging methods and processes in public health laboratories.

Activities in this project should achieve or contribute to the following intermediate outcomes:

• IO-1. Established communities of practice and other collaborative relationships among and between laboratories and other stakeholders.

• IO-2. Established information sharing systems across public health laboratories and with key stakeholders.

• IO-3. Improved competence and engagement of public health laboratory workforce.

• IO-4. Enhanced practices, methods, technical capabilities, and infrastructure within the public health laboratory system.
