H. R. 3697 —The Strategies to Address Antimicrobial Resistance Act

On September 27, 2007, Representative Jim Matheson (D-UT) introduced H.R. 3697, the Strategies to Address Antimicrobial Resistance Act. Provisions would amend the Public Health Service Act, Section 319E, Antimicrobial Resistance Task Force, to require the Secretary of HHS to establish an Office of Antimicrobial Resistance (OAR) within the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health and a Public Health Antimicrobial Advisory Board. Members named to the existing Task Force would include a representative of the NIH, other HHS components and other Federal agencies. Provisions would also require the Secretary, acting through the Directors of OAR, CDC and NIH, in consultation with other Federal agencies, to develop an antimicrobial resistance strategic research plan to strengthen existing epidemiological, interventional, clinical, translational, and basic research efforts and funding. In addition, the Secretary, through the NIH and CDC, would be required to establish 10 Antimicrobial Resistance Clinical Research and Public Health Network sites. H.R. 3697, which has 3 cosponsors, was referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
