CDC Selects Hawaii TB Program for New Research
October 24, 2002 The Hawaii Department of Health's Tuberculosis Control
Program has been awarded a 10-year contract by the CDC to
participate in the TB Epidemiological Studies Consortium, health
officials announced Wednesday. The contract amounts to $1.2
million for Hawaii's TB program, and the figure will increase
based on research projects done locally, the officials said. Dr.
Jessie Wing, chief of the Hawaii Tuberculosis Control Program,
said that as a member of the consortium, Hawaii will be able to
participate in cutting edge research. In all, 22 sites --
including academic institutions, and US and Canadian state and
county health departments -- were selected for the program.
