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

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

of knowledge to practice). Agenda items are tentative and subject to
