CAPT. E. Azziz-Baumgartner, USPHS, Global Influenza Branch Chief, Influenza Division, National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1600 Clifton Rd., Atlanta, GA, Global Influenza Branch, Phone: 404-639-2555.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The Task Force for Global Health (TFGH), a nonprofit organization, serves as a coordinating body to bring stakeholders together at the regional and global level to advance CDC's goals, supporting the Influenza Division's priorities for timely detection and reporting of influenza viruses. The single source award will provide an innovative public-private partnership with the CDC, Ministries of Health, corporate partners, and others to create sustainable prevention and control programs for seasonal influenza and other respiratory viruses worldwide. The award will provide funding to TFGH to (1) strengthen early detection, prevention, and response efforts for influenza and other respiratory pathogens; (2) gather strategic information on epidemic and pandemic readiness; and (3) implement effective and cost-efficient strategies to prevent and control these threats through evidence-based interventions resulting in better protection for Americans from seasonal and pandemic influenza as well as other respiratory viruses.
TFGH is uniquely qualified to conduct this work, as it is recognized for its strong, established relationships with many of CDC's priority partners. Initially, TFGH brought together partners to support the use of influenza vaccines among target groups in Southeast Asia and the Americas and in succeeding years has expanded its work to include coordination of large-scale pandemic response activities in support of CDC's mission, including pandemic vaccine deployment and respiratory virus prevention and control programs. Because of this experience TFGH is the uniquely qualified partner supporting National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases (NCIRD)-priority work on influenza vaccine programs and respiratory virus prevention outside the United States. Its mission aligns with the global objectives of CDC and the Influenza Division.
