Popis: Criticism of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and its efforts to put forth recommendations and data based on core public health practice and principles is contrary to the realities of the work that the CDC has done on preparedness in past decades In 2001, the CDC funded a project intended to facilitate the development of an integrated national system of Academic Centers for Public Health Preparedness (CPHPs) to train frontline public health professionals who respond to bioterrorist incidents and other emerging infectious diseases Nineteen CPHPs were funded until the program was discontinued in August 2010 and replaced by 14 Preparedness and Emergency Response Learning Centers, whose funding ended in 2018 2 CPHPs worked to identify core principles for public health preparedness and response, strategies for local and state data collection, and curricula and best practices for educating the public health and first responder workforce
