Key activities:

• Monitoring progress toward TB elimination through national TB surveillance
• Strengthening the capacity of health departments and other partners to prevent, control, and eventually eliminate TB through improved communications, information dissemination, education, and training
• Using contact investigations to prevent TB among persons at highest risk, including those with HIV infection
• Building outbreak detection and response capability
• Investigating improved treatment regimens
• Providing technical assistance, including programmatic support, research, and the identification, treatment, and management of multidrug-resistant (MDR) TB, extensively drug-resistant (XDR) TB, and TB among the most vulnerable populations (e.g., children, correctional populations, people experiencing homelessness)
