Public Health Epidemiology, Prevention and Control of Influenza and Other Respiratory Pathogens in China

vaccine uptake and efficacy; promoting vaccine programs for groups at high risk for severe influenza complications; and conducting surveillance for detection and control of novel and seasonal influenza viruses and other respiratory pathogens. Research activities for the prevention and control of novel and seasonal influenza viruses and other respiratory pathogens and pandemic preparedness activities will be aimed at preventing and controlling the spread and transmission within China and potentially to other countries, including the United States. Continued monitoring, detection, and reporting of these influenza viruses and other respiratory pathogens in China will advance global health efforts. These activities will assist to inform global health infection control policies and prevent and control seasonal epidemic and pandemic influenza in countries around the world. This NOFO provides an opportunity to conduct research in these important areas.
