5 Acknowledgements In September 2004, the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE) published a white paper entitled Essential Functions of Chronic Disease Epidemiology in State Health Departments by the Chronic Disease Epidemiology Capacity Building Subcommittee. Then in 2008, CSTE published The New State Epidemiologist s First Days: a Planning Guide. More recently, the CSTE Chronic Disease Epidemiology Capacity Building Subcommittee saw the need for a separate planning guide and orientation manual for the chronic disease epidemiologists in state and local health departments. This manual is the result of the Subcommittee's work and highlights information and resources that an applied chronic disease epidemiologist will need to use regularly. Many experienced state chronic disease epidemiologists and subject matter experts at CDC and CSTE contributed to this manual: Renee Calanan, PhD, MS - Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment/CDC, National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion Barbara Gabella, MSPH - Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment Matthew D. Ritchey, PT, DPT, OCS, MPH - CDC, National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (formerly also Indiana State Department of Health) Malinda Reddish Douglas, DPH, CPH - Oklahoma State Department of Health Geraldine Perry, DrPH, RDN CDC, National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion Sarojini Kanotra, PhD, MPH - Kentucky Department for Public Health Champ Thomaskutty, MPH - St. Mary's County Health Department, Leonardtown, Maryland (formerly Indiana State Department of Health) Ihsaan Azzam, MD, PHD, MPH - Nevada State Department of Health Sangeeta Gupta, MD, MPH - Delaware State University Gregg Reed, MPH - Utah Department of Health (formerly North Dakota Department of Health) Carrie Daniels, MS - Oklahoma State Department of Health Sara Huston, PhD - Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention Nisha Kini, MBBS, MPH - University of Massachusetts Medical School, Worcester, MA (formerly University of Southern Maine/Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention) Alison Green-Parsons, BA - Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention Santosh Nazare, MBBS, MPH - Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan (formerly University of Southern Maine) Charlan Kroelinger, PHD - CDC, National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion Violanda Grigorescu, MD, MSPH - CDC, National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion MaryCatherine Jones, MPH - Utah Department of Health Bonnie Yu, MA, MS - Florida Department of Public Health Annie Tran, MPH - Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists iv
