Analysis
This resolution approves Amendment 7 to a contract between the Metropolitan Board of Health and the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine for the Health Department’s participation in the Tuberculosis Trials Consortium. Vanderbilt received a grant from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention through the U.S. Veteran Affairs Medical Centers for this tuberculosis project. The original contract was approved by Resolution No. RS2015-55. The Health Department’s responsibilities under this contract are to provide space and equipment for the project, as well as consultation and support services.
This amendment extends the term of the contract through September 28, 2021, and increases the compensation amount from Vanderbilt to the Health Department by $66,900.
