S. Department of Health & Human Services 200 Independence Avenue SW Washington, DC 20201  \nThe Honorable Shalanda Young Director  \nOffice of Management and Budget Executive Office of the President Washington, DC 20503  \nDear Secretary Becerra and Director Young:  \nOn behalf of the undersigned organizations representing a wide range of public health, scientific, and clinical professionals, we are writing to express our concerns with potential rescissions to the COVID relief funds at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) . We urge you to protect these funds from the FY2024 rescissions and from cuts in subsequent budget agreements.  \nThe CDC’s emergency relief funds are critical to protecting public health through a variety of essential programs, including but not limited to, Advanced Molecular Detection, Public Health Data Modernization, and the National Wastewater Surveillance System. While these programs were critical in responding to the COVID pandemic, their value in protecting all Americans from emerging threats, extends well beyond that. Pulling these funds back will undermine the progress we have made through these programs.  \nWith several major emerging threats to our national health security on the immediate horizon including H5N1, measles, dengue fever, and mpox, if these programs are cut, it will limit our ability to respond in away that the public expects and deserves. We must not continue to fund public health in boom-and-bust cycles. We need to invest in our public health infrastructure and these programs support a nimble, adaptive, response-ready public health system. Ensuring that the remaining COVID funding stays at CDC, in addition to providing robust annual funding, is critical to this investment.  \nEach of the programs supported by the emergency relief funds are essential to our public health infrastructure and to our economic and national health security. Cutting funding to these programs would severely set back, if not eliminate, the critical work being done, making it harder and more expensive to build back in the future, and will directly impair our ability to detect and respond to emerging threats.  \nWe strongly urge you not to cut the CDC’s remaining emergency relief funds—these are critical dollars that the agency and all levels of the public health system are relying on. We look forward to continuing to engage with you to protect public health.
