\nThe CDC Foundation helps the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) save and improve lives by unleashing the power of collaboration between CDC, philanthropies, corporations, organizations and individuals to protect the health, safety and security of America and the world. The CDC Foundation is the go-to nonprofit authorized by Congress to mobilize philanthropic partners and private-sector resources to support CDC’s critical health protection mission. Since 1995, the CDC Foundation has raised over $1.9 billion and launched more than 1,300 programs impacting a variety of health threats from chronic disease conditions including cardiovascular disease and cancer, to infectious diseases like rotavirus and HIV, to emergency responses, including COVID-19 and Ebola. The CDC Foundation managed hundreds of programs in the United States and in more than 90 countries last year. Visit www.cdcfoundation.org for more information.  \n\n\nThe CDC Foundation is working with CDC and state and local authorities to provide surge staff to support surveillance, prevention, and response activities within the Overdose Data to Action in States (OD2A-S) program. Under this cooperative agreement, CDC Foundation will hire and place abstractors in OD2A-S jurisdictions who demonstrate a need for abstraction support to implement OD2A-S objectives. States funded under OD2A-S are required to submit comprehensive fatal overdose data to CDC twice a year.\n\n\nThe North Carolina Injury and Violence Prevention Branch (IVPB) is required to abstract and enter pertinent data from unintentional and undetermined intent overdose deaths into the CDC’s State Unintentional Drug Overdose Reporting System (SUDORS), which leverages the web-based platform used for the National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS).
