Staffing and Funding

High Risk
From FY2024 to FY2026, CDC lost about 30% of its workforce. Close to 70% of the Division of Reproductive Health was impacted by the 2025 Reduction in Force, including the team that manages the National ART Surveillance System. They are currently on administrative leave protected by a court order.

Policy

High Risk
In March 2025, the ICR submission modifies "infant gender" to "infant sex" in response to Executive Order 14168.
