Planned activity

This respiratory surveillance system is intended to track and study the epidemiology of respiratory infection in the United States. Tools developed from this project could ultimately support a broad network capable of detecting novel respiratory pathogen outbreaks across the country.

Awarded in 2023, this project is still in progress.
