1. Epidemiology laboratory and capacity (elc): core funding:since 1995, the epidemiology and laboratory capacity for prevention and control of emerging infectious diseases (elc) cooperative agreement has been critical to u.s. Health departments' ability to combat infectious diseases. While beginning with only 10 recipients, that number incrementally grew, reaching the current complement of 64 jurisdictions in 2012. For a quarter-century, the elc cooperative agreement has provided hundreds of millions each year to all 50 states, several large local health departments, and u.s. Territories and affiliates to detect, respond to, control, and prevent infectious diseases. The primary focus of this funding from 2019-2029 will be to detect, prevent and respond to the growing threats posed by infectious disease through three core areas: surveillance, detection and response; prevention and intervention and communications, coordination and partnerships. Through this funding, heluna health has partnered with california department of public health since 1995 to both build and strengthen public health systems related to communicable diseases in california.
