FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: CAPT E Azziz-Baumgartner, USPHS,

Prevention, 1600 Clifton Rd., Atlanta, GA, Global Influenza Branch,
Phone: 404-639-2555.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The sole source awards will support the
recipients to improve or maintain capacity to conduct seasonal
influenza surveillance and detect and respond to pandemic and novel
influenza. In addition, the activities funded under these awards will
enhance capacity to detect and respond to novel influenza viruses, such
as highly pathogenic avian influenza, as well as identify outbreaks of
severe respiratory illness syndrome and other infectious disease
threats through both epidemiologic and virologic detection. These
activities will strengthen connections between national institutions,
especially National Influenza Centers, to fully participate in data
sharing and maintain capacity to share specimens, as well as clinical
and epidemiologic data related to influenza circulation.
These entities are in a unique position to conduct this work, as
they are either subsidiaries of the host government ministries of

influenza surveillance. They have the expertise to support health
service delivery and oversee the national coordination of surveillance,
preparedness, prevention, and response activities to all forms of
health threats and public health emergencies.
