Emerging Infections Network - Research for Preventing, Detecting, and Managing Travel-associated Infectious Diseases
CDC cooperative agreement funds research using clinic-based sentinel networks and/or sentinel detection at international transportation hubs to improve detection, prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes of travel-associated infectious diseases.
⚑ Cooperative agreement · Two components: A clinic-based sentinel network and B sentinel detection in international transportation hubs · If both A and B are proposed and the application ranks top, Component B will be awarded · Award ceiling $6,000,000
This is primarily infectious-disease surveillance, diagnostics, and clinical/public-health research on travel-associated infections, which is outside IPPRA’s core social-behavioral risk, warning, energy, and education-policy lines. The team could at most contribute methodologically to survey/sentinel design, but this is not a plausible PI-level fit for any listed researcher.

Description
The focus of this notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) is to produce insights into disease detection and prevention strategies, burden, severity, diagnostics, treatment, and outcomes of infectious diseases in international travelers. Timely surveillance and sentinel detection are essential for collecting actionable data. The research should:Address public health questions that improve the speed of outbreak detection.Help develop guidelines and recommendations to improve patient care.Enhance understanding of the natural history of disease.Optimize genomic surveillance as well as diagnostic and treatment strategies.Advance the global health security of the United States.This NOFO will have two components:Component A – Clinic-based sentinel network.Component B – Sentinel detection in international transportation hubs.You may apply for Component A, B, or both. If your application for both Component A and B is ranked top, Component B will be awarded.
