7. Procurement and Grants Funding History (Billions)
Today, CDC is the nation′s premier health promotion, prevention, and preparedness agency and a global leader in public health.
Over 80% of CDC’s budget is spent through procurement activities to support the agency’s mission of ensuring national and global pubic health.
CDC is globally recognized for conducting research and investigations and for its action-oriented approach. CDC applies research and findings to improve people′s daily lives and responds to health emergencies—something that distinguishes CDC from its peer agencies.
