Previously frozen funding for other CDC programs, including rape and domestic violence prevention, is also getting released, the senior CDC leader said. Health departments across the country sounded the alarm as deadlines approached or passed for CDC funding of HIV prevention, cancer registries and overdose prevention programs. The CDC senior leader describes the release of funding for the agency as a relief. Several dozen specific CDC programs have now had their budget lines frozen at the direction of OMB, according to the senior leader at CDC. The frozen programs are mostly in the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, according to the senior leader at CDC.
