Congress has continued to kick the appropriations can down the road for fiscal year (FY) 2022, with a series of Continuing Resolutions (CRs), the latest of which is set to expire tomorrow, March 11. The Vector-Borne Disease Network (VBDN) sent a letter to the House and Senate Appropriations Committees, as well as other relevant Congressional supporters, asking them to finalize the spending bills for FY 2022, rather than continuing to operate under ongoing CRs, and to support the $15 million in the House bill for the CDC Centers of Excellence on Vector-Borne Diseases.
The PacVec Center of Excellence at UC Davis and UC Riverside are funded through this CDC mechanism.
