CDC-funded sites

CDC distributes federal funds to state and local health departments for the development, implementation, and evaluation of local campaigns to promote appropriate antibiotic use. Beginning in 2000 with only 8 sites, CDC has increased the number of funded sites in recent years. View map of CDC-funded appropriate antibiotic use programs in 2012 and links to state programs.

Technical assistance to support these funded sites includes: identifying resources, sharing new scientific and educational information, facilitating networking and the formation of partnerships, and conducting monthly phone calls to track progress and identify program needs.
