Description
This
NOFO will continue the work of the Division of Parasitic Diseases and Malaria
(DPDM) in CDC's Center for Global Health to strengthen health care providers'
understanding, identification, treatment and prevention of parasitic infections
in the U.S.
One component
of this NOFO will focus on using existing data to develop and disseminate
strategies, educational tools, materials, and guidelines related to Chagas
disease diagnosis and management in the United States to: improve health care
provider knowledge and practices, increase testing and improve management of
persons with or at risk of infection with the parasite that causes Chagas
disease, increase awareness, availability and use of best practices, education
training tools and materials.
The other
component of this NOFO will focus on the ongoing, public health practice and
disease control activities receiving congressional funding to investigate and
address infections with soil transmitted helminths in areas of Alabama and
Mississippi where these infections have historically been endemic through
testing, treatment and health education. Successful strategies should have the
potential to yield high impact public health outcomes, reach a high proportion
of those at risk, and have the highest potential for significant impact on
population health.
