PROGRAM INFORMATION
Short Description
In support of Uniting for Ukraine, CDC has created a supplement to the Tuberculosis Elimination and Laboratory Cooperative Agreement (CDC-RFA-PS20-2001). This funding is to support activities related to screening, evaluation, and treatment of latent tuberculosis (TB) infection (LTBI) and TB disease, including laboratory services. This is a pull of funds from FY22 and FY23 and runs through September 2023. Due to the amount allocated to the state, and inability to send this to the local jurisdiction for the required reporting, the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) TB program made a decision to carry over the $478,571 and add it to the 2nd supplement of the expected amount of $1,615,237 to a total of $2,093,815 to be allocated in 2023 for programs and a total of $215,263 for laboratory services. Expectations Include: LHD’s and RHCs will be required to coordinate with Ukraine coalitions to educate on TB resources available for UHP’s. Additionally, LHDs will provide IDPH aggregate numbers of IGRA +ve UHPs captured by the REDCaP survey are counseled and recommended for appropriate treatment. IDPH will report data to the Center of Disease Control (CDC). IDPHDL laboratory staff will carry out TB identification and initial resistance testing for TB bacteria.
