This award will fund for a workshop for the development of technologist for surveillance and diagnosis of pathogens; it will be held at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security in Baltimore, MD in March, 2020. The workshop will bring togther experts in infectious disease modeling, technology innovation, surveillance, control, and public health policy over a period of two days to identify needs and opportunities in this area. Emerging infectious diseases pose an increasing risk to humans due to a growing world population, changes in climate and land use, and a highly connected global transport systems. Advances and accessibility to engineering technologies have increased the threat of accidental and deliberate harm from biological incidents. To mitigate these risks requires improved epidemic preparedness strategies, specifically infectious disease surveillance and control at the local, state and national levels. This workshop will bring together a range of disciplines to explore critical gaps in scientific and technological understanding: those that prevent the translation of current emerging technologies, as well as gaps in the community?s prioritization of basic research needed for future technological capabilities. The workshop will identify gaps in current approaches to surveillance methods and explore how these problems should be addressed with available emerging technologies. It will identify needs for new technologies. The results from the workshop will be used to guide the national research agenda and thus better target support mechanisms to i) aid the development and integration of new emerging technologies, and ii) ensure the translation of the technology to public health practitioners; both of which are critical steps to protect the population from the increased threat posed by infectious diseases.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项将用于开发病原体监测和诊断技术专家的研讨会；它将于2020年3月在马里兰州巴尔的摩的约翰霍普金斯卫生安全中心举行。研讨会将在两天的时间内为传染病建模，技术创新，监视，控制和公共卫生政策带来TOGTHER专家，以确定该领域的需求和机会。由于世界不断增长的人口，气候和土地使用变化以及高度连接的全球运输系统，新兴的传染病对人类的风险增加。工程技术的进步和可及性增加了生物事件的意外和故意伤害的威胁。为了减轻这些风险，需要改善流行病的准备策略，特别是在地方，州和国家一级的传染病监测和控制。该研讨会将汇集一系列学科，以探讨科学和技术理解中的关键差距：那些阻止当前新兴技术的翻译以及社区中差距的差距，以及对未来技术能力所需的基础研究的优先次序。该研讨会将在当前的监视方法中确定差距，并探讨如何使用可用的新兴技术解决这些问题。它将确定对新技术的需求。研讨会的结果将用于指导国家研究议程，从而更好地针对支持机制来i）帮助开发和整合新的新兴技术，ii）确保将技术转化为公共卫生从业人员；这两者都是保护人口免受传染病造成的威胁增加的关键步骤。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并且使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准，被认为值得通过评估来支持。
