CDC to Fund Pathogen Genomics Centers of Excellence
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has made cooperative agreement funds available for fiscal year 2022 to establish the U.S. Pathogen Genomics Centers of Excellence (PGCoE) network.
The PGCoE network was initially announced in July 2021 by the Biden administration. Its objective is to improve the control of and response to microbial threats of public health importance by fostering innovation in pathogen genomics and molecular epidemiology.
