In compliance with the requirement
of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 for
opportunity for public comment on
proposed data collection projects, the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) will publish periodic
summaries of proposed projects. To
request more information on the
proposed projects or to obtain a copy of
the data collection plans and
instruments, call 404–639–5960 and

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 with 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. Through EPI–AIDS, EIS
officers (and, sometimes, other CDC
trainees) receive supervised training
while actively participating in
epidemiologic investigations. EIS is a
two-year program of training and service
in applied epidemiology through CDC,
primarily for persons holding doctoral
degrees.
Shortly after completion of the EPI–
AID investigation, an Epi Trip Report is
delivered to the State health agency
official(s) who requested assistance.
These officials can comment on both the
timeliness and the practical utility of
the recommendations from the
investigation by completing 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.
