News Briefs Louisiana: Tulane to Get Funds for Health ProjectsOctober 21, 2002 Tulane University will receive nearly $6 million in the next five years from the CDC to help track environmental health risks locally and fight AIDS abroad. Tulane will receive $3.8 million in five years to help poor countries reduce HIV transmission and improve care and support for people with HIV/AIDS. Carl Kendall, professor of international health and development at Tulane, said the HIV/AIDS funding will be used to develop a program of training, operations research and program evaluation in HIV treatment and prevention. The CDC will give Tulane $2.1 million during three years to develop a Center of Excellence for Environmental Public Health Tracking, which will monitor where and when chronic diseases such as cancer, asthma and diabetes occur and explore their potential links to environmental factors, particularly those that contribute to health disparities in Louisiana.
