the purse strings are getting tighter at the u.s. centers for disease control and prevention (cdc), which has already seen budget drops in recent years. the agency's discretionary budget request in 2012 will dip to $5.89 billion, down from $6.47 billion in 2010. like other agencies, cdc plans to shave costs by trying to avoid duplications and operating more efficiently. for example, several centers for different chronic diseases will be pulled under a shared umbrella called the comprehensive chronic disease prevention program. at a press conference this afternoon, cdc director thomas frieden said the agency would also save $100 million in administrative expenditures,nike run lite, in part by reducing travel and encouraging more videoconferencing.
