PAA and APC signed this letter urging the Senate and House Subcommittees on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education and Related Agencies Committee on Appropriations to appropriate at least $250 million for the Data Modernization Initiative (DMI) at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Funding for DMI will make possible the critical work of the CDC’s newly established Center for Forecasting and Outbreak Analytics (CFA). A $50 million appropriation for CFA in FY 2023 will help to fund the center to facilitate the use of data, modeling, and analytics to improve pandemic preparedness and response.#LettersandComments#GPAC2022#COVID-19#Data
