SHAPING THE FUTURE:
THE CDC FUTURES INITIATIVE
On May 13, 2004, Dr. Julie L. Gerberding, Director, Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC), announced new organizational changes in
CDC that resulted from the ongoing strategic development process known
as the CDC Futures Initiative.
The new organizational design offers significant opportunities for preventing occupational injuries, illnesses, and deaths in the changing workplace of the 21st Century.
These opportunities include:
- New avenues for closer collaborations between NIOSH and other CDC programs that address fundamentally similar issues.
- Streamlining of programs to deliver occupational safety and health services more efficiently and effectively.
- More resources for NIOSH’s core functions of research and outreach, through reduction of administrative expenses.
Further information is available from the resources on this page. The
future is now. We welcome your comments, suggestions, and questions to
help guide this process. Please contact
