The purpose of this NOFO is to strengthen global capacity for molecular surveillance and outbreak response for enteric diseases.
The Surveillance strategy will include the following activities:
1) Capacity building for enteric disease surveillance, including case confirmation.
2) Wastewater
and Environmental Surveillance capacity building; 3) Regional capacity building for Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS), bioinformatics, lab diagnosis and outbreak preparedness; 4) Country-level WGS and lab diagnosis capacity building.
The Outbreak Response strategy will include the following activities:
1) Regional enteric disease outbreak response technical assistance; 2) Country-level Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) program capacity building; and 3) Epidemiology and laboratory workforce development for enteric diseases.
Locations of activities will vary geographically to include multiple regional and country-level locations, based on CDC priority.
