Enhanced Surveillance for New Vaccine Preventable Diseases: The purpose of this announcement is to solicit applications for a research cooperative agreement that will fund a network of pediatric medical institutions conducting prospective, active surveillance for acute gastroenteritis (AGE) and acute respiratory illnesses (ARI) in inpatient and emergency department clinical settings, and among asymptomatic healthy controls. Funded activities for this Core Component award will include the provision of a US pediatric vaccine-preventable (and potentially vaccine preventable) disease surveillance system for a wide variety of AGE and ARI pathogens, evaluations of vaccine effectiveness for licensed vaccines including rotavirus and influenza, burden and natural history of disease for pathogens having upcoming and/or new vaccines, pediatric infectious disease transmission dynamics, informing vaccination/therapeutic policy and development, vaccine impacts for targeted and vulnerable populations, and socioeconomic and microbiological environments potentially relevant to these public health interventions. A second purpose of this announcement is to prospectively follow a birth cohort to the second birthday to incorporate a natural history study of pathogens and immunologic factors related to symptomatic and asymptomatic infection in US infants/young children. This second purpose/activity will be a separate Optional Component of the application, independently scored, that will be awarded to an applicant that has been competitively awarded a Core Component award.
