Dear Dr. Matyas:

California Tuberculosis Controllers Association (CTCA) Project – Fiscal Year 2024–2025​

The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) Tuberculosis Control Branch (TBCB) anticipates having $243,945 available to support the Solano County Health and Social Services Department CTCA Project in fiscal year (FY) 2024–2025. The funds are to be used to provide administrative support to assist the California Tuberculosis Controllers Association in increasing public and private capacity to identify, treat and prevent TB, improve state-wide performance in meeting tuberculosis (TB) prevention and control goals and to provide a forum for the discussion of significant TB elimination issues in order to develop recommendations for appropriate health policy. Funding is subject to the availability of State funds, a signed State budget, and is dependent on program priorities.
