Emerging Infections Program (EIP)

1 New ICR

Summary

The Emerging Infections Program (EIP) is a network of 12 US sites working to translate infectious disease research into informed policy and public health practice. Each network site is a collaboration between state health departments, academic institutions, and other key public health partners. EIP sites collect extensive data on disease characteristics and risk factors, including variables not collected through standardized reporting, such as underlying medical conditions, clinical course, outcomes, and vaccination status. EIP sites also investigate causes of infectious disease outbreaks, evaluate effectiveness of interventions, and promote prevention.
