Description
This funding opportunity from the CDC aims to establish a national network for research, surveillance, communication, and outreach to safeguard the health of U.S. residents traveling internationally. The program will improve access to high-quality pre-travel health information for both travelers and healthcare providers, collect health data before, during, and after travel using innovative EMR, web, and mobile technologies, and conduct timely research on emerging global health threats. The initiative also seeks to raise awareness of travel medicine among primary care providers and equip them with up-to-date recommendations for international travelers.
