The purpose of the program announcement is for The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to announces the availability of fiscal year (FY) 2014 funds for a cooperative agreement to improve the quality, efficiency and effectiveness of tuberculosis (TB) prevention and control programs in resource-limited countries. The purpose of the program is to assist the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease (IUATLD) in providing technical assistance and conducting training programs for National TB Control Programs (NTPs), non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and other interested partners to strengthen TB treatment and control efforts worldwide.
