CDC Awards ASCP Grant to Strengthen Lab Workforce

August 26, 2022

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has awarded ASCP a multi-year grant to strengthen the capacity of the clinical laboratory workforce in the United States. This will allow ASCP to respond to public health emergencies and foster the development of a quality- and patient-centric community of practice.

The Society will work closely with the CDC to connect ASCP’s universe of more than 250,000 pathologists and laboratory professionals to the CDC OneLab Network. By harnessing the extensive technical expertise of our members and staff as leading laboratory educators and advocates, this program will embody the mission of the CDC OneLab Initiative, and it will support the development of a sustainable learning community for the laboratory workforce using new and existing resources. The grant period begins on September 1, 2022.
