Additional funding requests to fight new health threats that pose a serious risk to America’s health security.

DEVELOPING ADVANCED MOLECULAR DETECTION and RESPONSE to INFECTIOUS OUTBREAKS
Received $30 million in FY 2014 to develop critically needed disease detection technologies to identify emerging health threats before existing methods become obsolete.

RESPONDING to DISEASE THREATS AROUND the WORLD
Requested $45 million in FY 2015 to improve tracking and response in other countries so new health threats are stopped before they reach the U.S.

DETECTING and PROTECTING AGAINST ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE
Requested $30 million in FY 2015 to better detect and track germs that resist existing antibiotics and threaten to return the U.S. to a time when simple infections were fatal.

RESPONDING to the PRESCRIPTION PAINKILLER DRUG OVERDOSE EPIDEMIC
Requested $15.6 million in FY 2015 to reduce an alarmingly growing epidemic of prescription drug abuse in the U.S.—with a special emphasis on states with the highest rates.
