Plain-English Summary

The federal government would study whether it's possible to create a reliable test that can detect tuberculosis in dead bodies during autopsies or medical examinations. This research would help medical examiners and pathologists better identify tuberculosis as a cause of death, which could improve public health tracking and understanding of the disease. The study would be conducted by the Department of Health and Human Services.
