SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The single
source award will strengthen an
established research platform for
arboviruses in hospital and community
settings to identify emerging and
endemic pathogens like dengue and
Oropouche viruses, improve patient
management, and evaluate prevention
and control strategies. The core
objectives include: 1) strengthen
hospital surveillance of acute febrile
illness (AFI); 2) maintain an AFI
platform for conducting clinical
research on special populations such as
children and pregnant women; 3)
maintain a community cohort to assess
incidence and prevalence of arboviral
infections and other AFIs, while also
evaluate the effectiveness of vector
control strategies; 4) strengthen the
infrastructure for project data
management and analysis; and 5)
strengthen collaborations with the local
government, community leaders, and
other stakeholders to ensure continuity
of the established program.
Ponce Health Sciences Foundation
(PHSF), Inc. is in a unique position to
conduct this work, as it is the only
institution with the infrastructure,
training, and established community
trust to implement study objectives
rapidly and effectively. It successfully
implemented the Sentinel Enhanced
Dengue Surveillance System (SEDSS) at
the St. Luke’s Episcopal Hospital
(SLEH) in 2012 and Centro de
Emergencia y Medicina Integrada
(CEMI) in 2016 in Ponce, PR. PHSF
successfully built and managed a
community cohort of >3000 participants
with annual visits and implemented
interventions to evaluate efficacy of
vector control techniques. PHSF has
built long-standing relationships with
the community stakeholders, which
facilitates rapid implementation of
public health programs and
