Proposed Project Emergency Epidemic Investigations— Extension—(0920–0008), Office of Workforce and Career Development (OWCD), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background & Brief Description The purpose of the Emergency Epidemic Investigation surveillance is to collect data on the conditions surrounding and preceding the onset of a problem. The data must be collected in a timely fashion so that information can be used to develop prevention and control techniques, to interrupt disease transmission and to help identify the cause of an outbreak. The EPI-AID mechanism is a means for Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS) officers of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), along with other CDC staff, to provide technical support to state health agencies requesting assistance for epidemiologic field investigations. This mechanism allows CDC to respond rapidly to public health problems in need of urgent attention, thereby providing an important service to state and other public health agencies; and to provide supervised training opportunities for EIS officers (and, sometimes, other CDC trainees) to actively participate in epidemiologic investigations. Epi Trip Reports are delivered to the state health agency official requesting assistance shortly after completion of the EPI-AID investigation. This official can comment on both the timeliness and the practical utility of the recommendations from the investigation. Upon completion of the EPI-AID investigation, requesting officials at the state or local health department will be asked to complete a brief questionnaire to assess the promptness of the investigation and the usefulness of the recommendations. There is no cost to the respondents other than their time.

Proposed Project

    Emergency Epidemic Investigations--Extension--(0920-0008), Office 
of Workforce and Career Development (OWCD), Centers for Disease Control 
and Prevention (CDC).

Background & Brief Description

    The purpose of the Emergency Epidemic Investigation surveillance is 
to collect data on the conditions surrounding and preceding the onset 
of a problem. The data must be collected in a timely fashion so that 
information can be used to develop prevention and control techniques, 
to interrupt disease transmission and to help identify the cause of an 
outbreak. The EPI-AID mechanism is a means for Epidemic Intelligence 
Service (EIS) officers of the Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention (CDC), along with other CDC staff, to provide technical 
support to state health agencies requesting assistance for 
epidemiologic field investigations. This mechanism allows CDC to 
respond rapidly to public health problems in need of urgent attention, 
thereby providing an important service to state and other public health 
agencies; and to provide supervised training opportunities for EIS 
officers (and, sometimes, other CDC trainees) to actively participate 
in epidemiologic investigations.
    Epi Trip Reports are delivered to the state health agency official 
requesting assistance shortly after completion of the EPI-AID 
investigation. This official can comment on both the timeliness and the 
practical utility of the recommendations from the investigation. Upon 
completion of the EPI-AID investigation, requesting officials at the 
state or local health department will be asked to complete a brief 
questionnaire to assess the promptness of the investigation and the 
usefulness of the recommendations. There is no cost to the respondents 
other than their time.
