Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, 1600 Clifton Rd., Atlanta, GA, Global Influenza Branch,
Phone: 404-639-2555.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: These 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, 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
health or they are the designated entities responsible for leading
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.
