(PHSA), as amended to: develop and implement disease prevention and 
control, environmental health, and health promotion and health 
education activities designed to improve the health of the people of 
the United States. Under these and additional PHSA and other 
authorities, CDC acts by identifying and defining preventable health 
problems; maintaining active surveillance of diseases through 
epidemiologic and laboratory investigations and data collection, 
analysis, and distribution; conducting operational research aimed at 
developing and testing effective disease prevention, control, and 
health promotion programs; administering a national occupational safety 
and health program; controlling the introduction and spread of 
infectious diseases; and providing consultation and assistance to other 
nations and international agencies to assist in improving their disease 
prevention and control, environmental health, and health promotion 
activities. CDC carries out these functions through a number of 
Coordinating Centers/Offices and National Centers and Institutes with 
expertise and responsibilities in specific areas.
    Matters to be Discussed: The agenda will include discussions 
regarding two topics on which the BSC decided to focus its reviews: (1) 
Discovery activities (i.e., generation of knowledge, science and 
research); and (2) Diffusion activities (i.e., translation and transfer 
of knowledge to practice). Agenda items are tentative and subject to 
change.
