Training programs are designed to cultivate a new generation of public health leaders, many of whom have gone on to work at the CDC .
The terminated CDC employees helped prevent and respond to outbreaks such as dengue fever and the flu.
They worked with local officials to quickly test for viruses and ensure that testing complies with federal regulations.
At least 16 of 24 fellows in the program were fired in mid-February , according to two scientists.
Fellows ' responsibilities included helping with outbreak investigations and responses.
The public health labs need the CDC scientists “because they’re underfunded, understaffed,” one of them said.
