The study of the various chapters in this report (such as those that cover ticks, mosqui- toes and fleas) generally demonstrates that while the biology and behaviour of the pests has been well studied, the epidemiology of the diseases they transmit, particularly in the case of newly emerging diseases, are poorly understood. Though the need for unders- tanding exists, scientists specialized in the classical disciplines of medical zoology and medical entomology are becoming rare, as governments and universities progressively shift their limited financial resources to other fields. Because of this shift in resources, not only is research in the classical disciplines being neglected, but the knowledge that. | Advancing the Nation s Health A Guide to Public Health Research Needs 2006-2015 Advancing the Nation s Health A Guide to Public Health Research Needs 2006-2015 December 2006 . DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Foreword Protecting and improving the health and well being of people communities and the nation is at the heart of public health. There are many things that contribute to our accomplishing our efforts with science and public health research heading the list. The best possible science to protect the health and safety of Americans and people around the world is a hallmark of public health. Today the challenges of our increasingly complex and interdependent world require new approaches to generating and disseminating the knowledge and innovations needed to promote well-being and improve health. As a step toward fostering strategic investments in public health research and science the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in consultation with the public and a wide range of partners has developed this comprehensive guide Advancing the Nation s Health A Guide to Public Health Research Needs 2006-2015. In light of the challenges facing us in the coming decade the research areas and needs described in this Research Guide extend beyond those traditionally associated with public health. To achieve practical cost-effective policies programs and practices that improve health the field of public health will need to place a high priority on interdisciplinary cross-cutting research that facilitates innovations and helps inform many program areas. At CDC we are aligning our work and research efforts to achieve specific Health Protection Goals that focus on four inter-related areas healthy people across all stages of life healthy places and communities preparedness against infectious occupational environmental and terrorist threats and improved global health. We have a great deal of knowledge to draw upon to help us .
