Tuberculosis Epidemiologic Studies Consortium (TBESC)
Return to TBESC Main Menu
Introduction:
The Division of Tuberculosis Elimination (DTBE) of the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) established the
Tuberculosis Epidemiologic Studies Consortium (TBESC) in order to
strengthen, focus, and coordinate tuberculosis (TB) research. The
TBESC is designed to build the scientific research capacities of
state and metropolitan TB control programs, participating
laboratories, academic institutions, hospitals, and both non- and
for-profit organizations. It operates within an environment that
fosters creative and open intellectual input. The research agenda is
developed through a process of mutually negotiated scientific and
programmatic peer review. It is guided by a national, comprehensive
research agenda responsive to the Institute of Medicine’s (IOM)
report, Ending Neglect:
The Elimination of Tuberculosis in the United States (2000),
CDC’s Response to
the IOM Report, and DTBE’s priorities.
TBESC Staff:
Denise Garrett, MD, MSc, Project Officer
Sandra Baxley, Public Health Analyst
Suzanne Beavers, MD, Senior Epidemiologist
Dolly Katz, Ph.D., MPH, Senior Epidemiologist
