aFY2007-2009 Subtotals for the Biosurveillance Initiative differ slightly from CDC and HHS calculated subtotals. The reason for this difference could not be identified.
bUpgrading CDC Capacity/Anthrax Research line items were counted separately until the President's FY2006 budget and are separated once again in the FY2009 budget.
cThe SNS was located in the HHS Office of the Secretary for FY2001-FY2003 and FY2005-FY2007. In FY2004, it was located in the Department of Homeland Security. It is now a CDC function.
dHRSA bioterrorism and hospital preparedness programs were moved to the ASPR Office in 2006.
eThe Office of Public Health and Emergency Preparedness became the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Emergency Preparedness and Response (ASPR) in 2006.
fThe National Disaster Medical System was moved from the Department of Homeland Security to the Department of Health and Human Services ASPR Office effective January 2007.
gSome HHS biodefense funds are specifically requested through the Public Health Social Services Emergency Fund (PHSSEF). Placing funds in the PHSSEF enables them to be appropriated in one place and then allocated to targeted biodefense activities.
