Epidemic Outbreak Surveillance (EOS)
Abstract
This funding was granted to The Henry M. Jackson Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine, Inc. (HJF) to provide the administrative, management, logistical, and programmatic services in collaboration with HQ, USAF/SGR in accordance with the statement of work and with tasks developed by the research. The goal of this project is to develop and test new technologies for the diagnosis and surveillance of respiratory tract pathogens. The funding supported the hiring of technical and administrative personnel necessary to carry out protocols to standardize methods of specimen collection and to optimize the processing of these specimens. After these processes were established, initial enrollment of healthy, ill, and recovered Basic Military Trainees (BMTs) began. In accordance with the statement of work, HJF successfully established administrative and programmatic support services to support the operations and management of the Epidemic Outbreak Surveillance (EOS) project. HJF continues to provide administrative, management, and programmatic support services as deemed necessary for implementation and as requested by HQ, USAF/SGR for the development of an integrated health surveillance venue focused upon epidemic outbreaks of acute respiratory disease (ARD) and other endemic and seasonal respiratory infections.
