Which agency is responsible for CLIA studies, the CLIA committee, providing scientific and technical support to CMS, and consultations with CMS?

The idea being tested is which agency supplies the scientific and technical support for CLIA to CMS, runs the CLIA advisory processes, and conducts CLIA-related studies and consultations. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention handles these roles. The CDC provides the scientific and technical support to CMS, hosts and staff the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Advisory Committee (CLIAC), conducts CLIA-related studies, and conducts consultations with CMS. While CMS administers the CLIA program and FDA regulates test devices, those agencies do not serve as the primary source of CLIA scientific support or CLIAC administration. The Joint Commission is an accreditation organization, not a federal advisory or support body for CLIA.
