We've had our first interruption of NIH funding. While the grant has not been officially terminated, we have not received the NOA (notice of award) for Year 4 and so we have to stop the work. Sadly this means that all SEATRAC activities have been suspended. #tuberculosis #TBFighters🦠🧪

World TB Day was earlier this week, but the work continues year-round. Dr. Randall Reves has spent 40+ years advancing TB elimination—from Denver Health to the @who.int. Read his story via @PHIDH_Denver: www.phidenverhealth.org/blog/2025/03... #Tuberculosis #WorldTBDay #PublicHealth #PHIDH

It’s World TB Day and we would like to share this fantastic blog post from Tenzin: “Raising our voices for tuberculosis and the leadership of those surviving it.” Please take a moment to read it: #WorldTBDay #tuberculosis #EndTB #STOPTB #TBfreeUSA #RESULTS results.org/blog/raising...

👇🏻🚨”When they cut #Tuberculosis work [research and services] in the ‘90s, an outbreak occurred in New York that cost more than a billion dollars to get under control. And many people died… In fact, the #US #government – if it cares about security, safety, and family – should be investing more in TB.”

CEID faculty Dr. Brooke Nichols (@busph.bsky.social, @bumedicine.bsky.social) & colleagues have developed a #tuberculosis impact counter, tracking the impact of funding for global #TB detection & treatment programs. Sobering statistics on tb.impactcounter.com
