Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, also known as CDC, is a state-owned entity headquartered in the US. Founded in 1946, it operates with approximately 20,990 employees. The company's main function is government administration, serving as the national public health agency of the United States.
On August 19, 2026, ATCC secured a new contract from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to support serological assays for the detection and characterization of influenza viruses. Earlier on the same day, reports indicated that up to $246 million in taxpayer-funded CDC programs, including an Alzheimer's disease program that Congress appropriated $41 million to this year and the agency’s Office on Smoking and Health, are largely unstaffed. This followed news from earlier that day, August 19, 2026, regarding Erica Schwartz becoming the new director of the CDC, having been confirmed by the U.S. Senate on August 5, 2026. Schwartz is only the second CDC director to face Senate confirmation, a process adopted after the COVID-19 pandemic as part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023 to bring increased scrutiny to the public health position.
