US Travelers Health Research, Surveillance, Communication, and Outreach Network
CDC cooperative agreement funds a U.S. travelers health network to improve pre-travel information, collect travel health data, and conduct timely research and outreach on emerging travel-related health threats.
⚑ Eligibility not stated in the notice; direct university eligibility cannot be confirmed from the provided text. · Cooperative agreement mechanism implies substantial CDC involvement/oversight. · Primary emphasis includes surveillance, communication, and outreach in addition to research.
This is primarily travel medicine/public health surveillance and provider education, centered on biomedical and clinical health outcomes. IPPRA’s work is in risk perception, warning communication, energy/weather/security attitudes, and policy evaluation, so this would not plausibly be a PI-level fit for the team.
