recipients to improve or maintain capacity to conduct seasonal 
influenza surveillance and detect and respond to pandemic and novel 
influenza. In addition, 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.

preparedness, prevention, and response activities to all forms of 
health threats and public health emergencies.
