2024 Epidemiology and Laboratory Capacity for Prevention and Control of Emerging Infectious Diseases (ELC) - The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) is a cabinet level agency in the executive branch of state government with a mission to protect, maintain and improve the health of all Minnesotans. The MDH Infectious Disease Epidemiology, Prevention and Control Division (IDEPC) and Public Health Laboratory (PHL) are collaborative partners in the Epidemiology and Laboratory Capacity for the Prevention and Control of Emerging Infectious Diseases (ELC) Cooperative Agreement. We have managed the ELC cooperative agreement since its inception, and plan to build upon those original activities to address emerging disease threats. We will protect the public health and safety of Minnesotans by enhancing our ability to detect, respond, prevent and control known and emerging infectious diseases. We will do this by applying for funding in the following areas: Cross-Cutting Epidemiology and Laboratory Capacity; ELC Leadership, Management and Administration; Health Information Systems Capacity; Advanced Molecular Detection Project; National Wastewater Surveillance System Project; Cross-Cutting Emerging Issues Project; Foodborne, Waterborne, Enteric and Environmentally Transmitted Diseases; Healthcare-Associate Infections and Antibiotic Resistance Program; AR Lab Network; Enhanced Surveillance for Vaccine-Preventable and Respiratory Diseases; Vector-borne Diseases; Prion Surveillance; Mycotics: Detect & Prev Fungal Infections; Global Migration, Border Interv & Migrant Health; Parasitic Surveillance; Combating Antimicrobial Resistant Gonorrhea and Other STIs (CARGOS); Rabies Surveillance & Laboratory Capacity; SET‐NET: Surveillance for Emerging Threats to Pregnant People and Infants Network; and HIV Centers for Cluster and Outbreak Response and Enhancement.
