Description
This cooperative agreement from the CDC’s National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID) funds activities to build and strengthen sustainable systems for fungal disease detection, diagnosis, surveillance, and response globally. The program aims to improve laboratory and diagnostic capacity, workforce development, surveillance infrastructure, and the use of data to inform public health action. By supporting these efforts, the initiative seeks to reduce the global burden of fungal diseases, strengthen health security, and protect both local populations and the United States from emerging fungal threats and antifungal resistance.
