The Task Force For Global Health Inc

TASK FORCE FOR GLOBAL HEALTH SUPPORT TO CAPACITY BUILDING FOR GLOBAL, REGIONAL, AND NATIONAL IMMUNIZATION PROGRAMS - SINCE THE GLOBAL POLIO ERADICATION INITIATIVE WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1988, MORE THAN 2.5 BILLION CHILDREN HAVE BEEN IMMUNIZED AGAINST POLIO. WORLDWIDE ERADICATION EFFORTS HAVE SEEN THE NUMBER OF REPORTED CASES OF WILD POLIOVIRUS (WPV) DECREASE BY MORE THAN 99 PERCENT. TODAY, POLIO REMAINS ENDEMIC IN ONLY TWO COUNTRIES: AFGHANISTAN AND PAKISTAN. THE INSIDIOUS SPREAD OF THIS HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS DISEASE HIGHLIGHTS THE IMPORTANCE OF MAINTAINING A NETWORK OF HIGHLY TRAINED PROFESSIONALS WITH EXPERTISE IN PUBLIC HEALTH SURVEILLANCE AND APPLIED EPIDEMIOLOGY AND THE NEED AMONG MINISTRIES OF HEALTH FOR INCREASED SUPPORT DURING DISEASE OUTBREAKS AND ERADICATION CAMPAIGNS. WITH POLIO OUTBREAKS OCCURRING IN OTHER KEY FOCAL AREAS DUE TO CIRCULATING TYPE 2 VACCINE-DERIVED POLIOVIRUS (CVDPV2) IN COTE D?IVOIRE, LIBERIA, SUDAN, TAJIKISTAN AND NIGER WITH RISK OF FURTHER OUTBREAKS IN THE LAKE CHAD BASIN REMAINING HIGH, PROVISION OF TARGETED IN-COUNTRY SURVEILLANCE AND RESPONSE THROUGH SURGE SUPPORT HAS BECOME AN IMPORTANT TOOL IN THE FIGHT TO ERADICATE POLIO.THE RESURGENCE OF OTHER VACCINE PREVENTABLE DISEASES (VPD) SUCH AS MEASLES FURTHER SUPPORTS THE NEED TO STRENGTHEN ROUTINE IMMUNIZATION SYSTEMS IN VPD OUTBREAK COUNTRIES, AND SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF TOOLS, GUIDANCE AND ADVISORY GROUPS TO ENHANCE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF GLOBAL IMMUNIZATION PROGRAMS. THE CONSIDERABLE PROGRESS ACHIEVED OVER PAST DECADES TO ERADICATE POLIO, ELIMINATE MEASLES AND RUBELLA AND CONTROL OTHER VPDS INCLUDING TYPHOID, HEPATITIS B, CHOLERA, AND NEONATAL TETANUS THROUGH STRENGTHENED IMMUNIZATION SYSTEMS AT THE GLOBAL, REGIONAL AND NATIONAL LEVEL HAS BEEN PUT AT RISK DUE TO THE OUTBREAK OF CORONAVIRUS DISEASE (COVID-19).IT IS WITHIN THIS CONTEXT THAT THE TASK FORCE FOR GLOBAL HEALTH PROPOSES TO ENGAGE ITS EXPERIENCE AND EXPERTISE TO ELIMINATE THE THREAT OF VPDS BY BUILDING COUNTRY, REGIONAL, AND GLOBAL IMMUNIZATION CAPACITY TO PREVENT, DETECT, AND RESPOND TO VPDS. THIS REQUIRES STRENGTHENED AND E XPANDED SURVEILLANCE ACTIVITIES AND RAPID, TARGETED OUTBREAK RESPONSE.OUR OVERARCHING PURPOSE IS TO UTILIZE THE EXTENSIVE RESOURCES AND EXPERIENCE OF THE TASK FORCE FOR GLOBAL HEALTH TO BUILD THE CAPACITY OF NATIONAL, REGIONAL AND GLOBAL IMMUNIZATION PROGRAMS TO ELIMINATE THE THREAT OF VPDS, PARTICULARLY POLIO, WORLDWIDE. WITHIN THE TASK FORCE FOR GLOBAL HEALTH, THE TEPHINET PROGRAM AND THE CENTER FOR VACCINE EQUITY WILL ADVANCE THE KEY STRATEGIES LISTED IN THE CDC NOFO. WE WILL SCALE UP THE SUCCESSFUL PROGRAMS THAT WE IMPLEMENTED DURING THE PREVIOUS COAG AND ESTABLISH NEW PROGRAMS TO FURTHER BUILD REGIONAL, NATIONAL, AND GLOBAL CAPACITY TO ELIMINATE VPDS.TEPHINET WILL IMPROVE VACCINATION COVERAGE PERCENTAGES IN HIGH RISK AND SPECIAL POPULATIONS BY CONTINUING TO BUILD CRITICAL SKILLS RELATED TO ROUTINE IMMUNIZATION DELIVERY, IMMUNIZATION CAMPAIGNS, AND SURVEILLANCE AND OUTBREAK RESPONSE IN PAKISTAN AND OTHER HIGH PRIORITY COUNTRIES THROUGH ACTIVITIES INCLUDING NSTOP PAKISTAN, AFGHANISTAN IMMUNIZATIONS SYSTEMS STRENGTHENING, AND THE STRENGTHENING SURVEILLANCE AND IMMUNIZATIONS SYSTEMS PROJECT. MEASLES RAPID DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF SURVEILLANCE SOFTWARE TOOLS TO IMPROVE MEASLES OUTBREAK RESPONSE IN THE AFRICA, SOUTHEAST ASIA AND BRAZIL WILL BE ACHIEVED THROUGH TEPHINET SUPPORT. CVE?S IMPLEMENTATION OF THE POLIO ERADICATION GLOBAL OUTBREAK RESPONSE ACTIVITY WILL CONTINUE TO IMPROVE CVDPV2 OUTBREAK RESPONSES AND SURVEILLANCE CAPACITY. CVE WILL LEAD AND CONVENE IMMUNIZATION COALITIONS AND STRENGTHEN GLOBAL NITAG CAPACITY THROUGH ITS US COALITION ON GLOBAL IMMUNIZATION, COALITION FOR GLOBAL HEPATITIS ELIMINATION AND NITAG ACTIVITIES. THE BRIGHTON COLLABORATION TEAM WILL WORK TO STRENGTHEN GLOBAL IMMUNIZATION SAFETY MONITORING SYSTEMS. THE TASK FORCE?S IN-HOUSE TECHNICAL CAPACITY COMBINED WITH THE EXISTING PROGRAM AND FETP NETWORK RELATIONSHIPS ARE STRONG ASS

PIVI WILL PARTNER WITH COUNTRIES AND MINISTRIES OF HEALTH IN COLLABORATION WITH THE CDC, TO STRENGTHEN DETECTION, PREVENTION, AND CONTROL OF INFLUENZA AND OTHER RESPIRATORY PATHOGENS. - THROUGH THIS PROJECT THE TASK FORCE FOR GLOBAL HEALTH (TFGH) WILL PARTNER WITH CDC TO STRENGTHEN DETECTION PREVENTION PREPAREDNESS AND EMERGENCY RESPONSE CAPACITIES FOR INFLUENZA AND OTHER RESPIRATORY VIRUSES IN CDC PRIORITY COUNTRIES AND REGIONS. THE WORK WILL SUPPORT CDC AND U.S. GOVERNMENT GOALS TO ACCELERATE EPIDEMIC AND PANDEMIC DETECTION AND RESPONSE SYSTEMS THROUGH THE STRENGTHENING OF NATIONAL AND REGIONAL PROGRAMS AND INCREASE ACCESS TO HIGH RISK POPULATIONS. THE PROJECT IS SCALABLE AND WILL PROVIDE A BROADER AND MORE EFFICIENT RESPIRATORY VIRUS RESPONSE SUPPORTING GLOBAL HEALTH SECURITY. THE WORK WILL FACILITATE TIMELY TRANSMISSION OF DATA TO THE U.S. AUTHORITIES FOR DECISION MAKING AND BOLSTER THE CDC AND U.S. GOVERNMENTS ABILITY TO MONITOR ONGOING INFLUENZA AND RESPIRATORY VIRUSES. THE WORK PROPOSED WILL FOCUS ON A SERIES OF CONNECTED AND COMPLEMENTARY STRATEGIES. WE WILL WORK WITH CDC TO IDENTIFY AND ENGAGE PRIORITY COUNTRIES AND REGIONAL PARTNERS EXPANDING AND LEVERAGING THE CURRENT COUNTRY PARTNERS PRODUCING TAILORED WORK PLANS WITH EACH COUNTRY AND REGIONAL ENTITY. WORK PLANS WILL ADDRESS THE UNIQUE GOALS OF EACH AS WELL AS THE GOALS OF CDC FOR RESPIRATORY VIRUS PREVENTION AND CONTROL AND EPIDEMIC AND PANDEMIC RESPONSE. WE WILL WORK WITH CDC AND IDENTIFIED PARTNERS TO IMPLEMENT THE COUNTRY AND REGIONAL WORK PLANS THROUGH EXPERT TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE ALONG WITH MODEST AND TIME LIMITED FUNDING TOWARDS ESTABLISHING SELF SUSTAINING AND COUNTRY LED SYSTEMS. WE WILL ALSO WORK WITH EACH PRIORITY COUNTRY TO REFINE AND ENHANCE THEIR PANDEMIC RESPONSE CAPABILITIES. THE COUNTRY SPECIFIC AND REGIONAL WORK WILL BE CLEARLY DESIGNED TO ALSO PRODUCE DATA AND LEARNINGS FOR CDC DECISIONS ON OPTIMIZING INVESTMENTS AND ACTIVITIES TO PROTECT THE US FROM RESPIRATORY DISEASE THREATS FROM OTHER COUNTRIES. THE WORK WILL FOCUS ON INFLUENZA AS A PRINCIPAL THREAT BUT ALSO INCLUDE DEDICATED WORK ON OTHER RESPIRATORY DISEASES THAT POSE EPIDEMIC AND PANDEMIC THREATS. FINALLY THE ACTIVITIES WILL BUILD EXPERIENCE SKILLS AND PARTNERSHIPS THAT WILL FACILITATE CDCS RESPONSE TO FUTURE OUTBREAKS FROM OTHER PATHOGENS. ACTIVITIES LAID OUT IN COMPONENTS 1 AND 2 (INFLUENZA CORE ACTIVITIES AND NON INFLUENZA RESPIRATORY PATHOGEN ACTIVITIES FULLY DETAILED IN ATTACHMENTS) WILL EXPLICITLY ENABLE EFFECTIVE OUTCOMES IN COMPONENTS 3 THROUGH 5 (RAPID RESPONSE TO INFECTIOUS DISEASE OUTBREAKS OR OTHER PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY SMALL TO LARGE SCALE). AS A STRONG AND EFFECTIVE PUBLIC AND PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP THIS WORK BUILDS ON MORE THAN 10 YEARS OF COLLABORATION BETWEEN TFGH AND CDC TO STRENGTHEN GLOBAL SYSTEMS CREATE TRUSTED NETWORKS FOR SHARING DATA AND LEARNINGS AND BUILD NATIONAL EXPERTISE AND EXPERIENCE TOWARDS ENSURING SELF SUSTAINING COUNTRY LED INVESTMENTS. RECENT PANDEMICS HAVE CLEARLY SHOWN THAT INVESTMENTS TO DEVELOP AND MAINTAIN NATIONAL SYSTEMS IMPROVES PANDEMIC RESPONSE REDUCING ONGOING THREATS TO THE U.S. PARTNERING TO BUILD AND STRENGTHEN NATIONAL AND GLOBAL SYSTEMS IN THE INTERPANDEMIC PERIODS THIS PROJECT ALSO REPRESENTS A COST EFFECTIVE RETURN ON INVESTMENT FOR THE U.S. GOVERNMENT. BY COMBINING LONG STANDING COUNTRY PARTNERSHIPS ESTABLISHED TECHNICAL PLATFORMS AND RAPID RESPONSE CAPABILITIES TFGH WILL ENABLE CDC TO GENERATE AND GATHER TIMELY DATA STRENGTHEN GLOBAL PREPAREDNESS AND RESPOND MORE EFFECTIVELY TO EMERGING RESPIRATORY DISEASE THREATS.

BUILDING CAPACITY IN IMMUNIZATION AND IIS PROGRAMS HOUSED IN STATE, TRIBAL, LOCAL AND TERRITORIAL (STLT) PUBLIC HEALTH AGENCIES - IMMUNIZATION INFORMATION SYSTEMS (IIS) ARE A CRUCIAL COMPONENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE U.S., ENABLING NATIONAL PROGRESS ON CHILDHOOD IMMUNIZATION RATES. DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, THE ESSENTIAL NATURE OF IIS BECAME EVEN MORE EVIDENT, AS THESE SYSTEMS SERVED AS A CORE COMPONENT OF THE EMERGENCY PUBLIC HEALTH RESPONSE. CDC HAS LONG PRIORITIZED ADVANCING THE CAPABILITIES OF IIS AND IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF THE DATA THEY CONTAIN. CDC’S LONG-TERM VISION INCLUDES STANDARDIZED, INTEROPERABLE SYSTEMS THAT CAPTURE, USE AND EXCHANGE IMMUNIZATION DATA ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THE PUBLIC HEALTH INFORMATICS INSTITUTE (PHII) PROPOSES TO DRAW UPON ITS 32 YEARS OF IIS AND PUBLIC HEALTH INFORMATICS EXPERTISE AND EXPERIENCE TO JOIN CDC IN THIS GOAL OF ADVANCING IIS. SINCE PHII FIRST LAUNCHED IN 1992 AS THE ROBERT WOOD JOHNSON FOUNDATION-FUNDED PROGRAM ALL KIDS COUNT, IT HAS BEEN PHII’S PRIMARY MISSION TO PROVIDE DIRECT TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND TRAINING FOR PRACTITIONERS BUILDING AND MAINTAINING IIS. THREE DECADES AGO, PHII PLAYED A CRITICAL ROLE IN FOSTERING THE FIRST IIS PROGRAMS AROUND THE COUNTRY, AND TODAY, WE CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THE VITAL ROLE OF IIS IN THE PUBLIC HEALTH LANDSCAPE THROUGH GUIDANCE, TOOLKITS, DIRECT SUPPORT AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT. IN 20 YEARS OF PARTNERING WITH CDC ON THIS WORK–INCLUDING 16 YEARS UNDER A CDC COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT–WE HAVE SEEN IMMENSE SUCCESS ON THIS FRONT, AND WE HAVE ESTABLISHED OURSELVES AS A TRUSTED PARTNER OF THE IIS COMMUNITY. THE PURPOSE OF THIS PROPOSAL IS TO DESCRIBE A STRATEGIC AND COORDINATED SET OF PLANNED ACTIVITIES TO FURTHER BUILD CAPACITY IN IMMUNIZATION AND IIS PROGRAMS HOUSED IN STATE, TRIBAL, LOCAL AND TERRITORIAL (STLT) PUBLIC HEALTH AGENCIES, AND TO MODERNIZE AND IMPROVE THE DATA QUALITY AND INTEROPERABILITY OF IIS, BY ADDRESSING THREE COMPONENTS OF CDC’S VISION FOR IIS: 1) COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND SUPPORT; 2) WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT; AND 3) EDUCATION. THE PROPOSED STRATEGIES AND ACTIVITIES RESPOND TO THE PRIORITY NEEDS OF IMMUNIZATION AND IIS PROGRAMS IN PUBLIC HEALTH JURISDICTIONS, AS THEY HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED THROUGH PHII’S PRIOR WORK WITH THESE POPULATIONS. CONSISTENT WITH THE CDC’S PUBLIC HEALTH 3.0: A CALL TO ACTION TO CREATE A 21ST CENTURY PUBLIC HEALTH INFRASTRUCTURE, PHII PROPOSES TO: A) IMPROVE IIS WORKFORCE CAPACITY TO ADDRESS EXPECTED AND EMERGING STANDARDS OF IIS PROGRAMS; B) INCREASE USE OF IIS STANDARDS, RESOURCES AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE (TA) AVAILABLE TO JURISDICTIONS; C) ENHANCE WORKFORCE RESOURCES TO MEET RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION NEEDS; D) DEVELOP WORKFORCE STAFFING RESOURCES TO SUPPORT ALL IIS FUNCTIONAL ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES; E) INCREASE USE OF TOOLKITS BY IMMUNIZATION JURISDICTIONS TO SUPPORT BEST PRACTICES IN IIS WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT; F) INCREASE JURISDICTIONS’ IIS STAFF USE OF EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS AND TRAINING OFFERINGS; AND G) INCREASE ENGAGEMENT AT CDC MEETINGS WITH JURISDICTIONS TO PROVIDE GUIDANCE ON NATIONAL STANDARDS AND THE FEDERAL SECTION 317 IMMUNIZATION GRANT. LONG TERM OUTCOMES ARE TO INCREASE IIS COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, BUILD WORKFORCE CAPACITY, INCREASE IIS STAFF KNOWLEDGE, AND ULTIMATELY PROMOTE A STRONG AND EFFECTIVE IIS NETWORK ACROSS THE NATION.
