Coordinating Center for Infectious Diseases (CCID)

The mission of the Coordinating Center for Infectious Diseases (CCID) is to protect health and enhance the potential for full, satisfying and productive living across the lifespan of all people in all communities related to infectious diseases.

On Friday, March 23, 2007, US Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Michael O. Leavitt officially approved the reorganization of CDC's Coordinating Center for Infectious Diseases (CCID).

CCID's new structure now includes the following programs:

• National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases (NCIRD) is an interdisciplinary immunization program that brings together vaccine-preventable disease science and research with immunization program activities.
• National Center for Zoonotic, Vector-Borne, and Enteric Diseases (NCZVED) provides national and international scientific and programmatic leadership addressing zoonotic, vector-borne, foodborne, waterborne, mycotic, and related infections to identify, investigate, diagnose, treat, and prevent these diseases.
• National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP) integrates epidemiology, laboratory science, and intervention and prevention initiatives related to a broad range of STDs to enhance opportunities to develop and implement collaborative public health interventions with shared at-risk populations.
• National Center for Preparedness, Detection, and Control of Infectious Diseases (NCPDCID) focuses on improving preparedness and response capacity for new and complex infectious disease outbreaks, and will manage and coordinate emerging infectious diseases, integrate laboratory groups, and facilitate increased quality and capacity in clinical laboratories.
