About this archived opportunity

The purpose of this notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) is to support research projects on travel-related illness surveillance and sentinel event detection to better protect the health of U.S. communities and travelers. The NOFO focuses on building a collaborative network of travel and tropical medicine providers to engage in research and surveillance, producing insights on disease prevention strategies, burden, severity, diagnostics, treatment interventions, and outcomes of infectious diseases in travelers while abroad. Timely surveillance and sentinel detection are essential for actionable data. The research should connect clinical medicine and public health by addressing public health questions that inform guidelines and recommendations to enhance patient care, improve understanding of disease progression, and implement effective diagnostic and treatment strategies, ultimately advancing the United States' global health security.
