DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this project is to improve overall infectious disease surveillance capacity in Georgia by enhancing epidemiology and laboratory infrastructure in the currently-existing Georgia Emerging Infections Program (EIP), particularly in the areas of influenza testing, healthcare-associated infections, and expanding training opportunities in infectious disease epidemiology. The Emerging Infections Program (EIP) in Georgia is a continuing strong partnership between the Georgia Division of Public Health (DPH) and the Division of Infectious Diseases at Emory University School of Medicine and the Atlanta VA Medical Center. It is built on the foundation of an active population-based surveillance program in metropolitan Atlanta and throughout Georgia. Emory/VA EIP activities have focused on the 20-county greater metropolitan Atlanta area, while DPH EIP activities have focused on the other 139 counties (Georgia Outside of Atlanta, or GOA). Project activities include: 1) improving capacity for real- time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR) influenza testing at the Georgia Public Health Laboratory; 2) conducting active surveillance for dialysis access-associated bloodstream infections in the 8-County Atlanta metropolitan area; 3) hiring an epidemiologist to support the nascent Georgia Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAI) Prevention Program; 4) EIP partners will offer a one-year EIP Infectious Disease (ID) Fellowship Epidemiology/Public Health module during the third year of the ID training program at Emory University School of Medicine, including a several-month rotation in the DPH Epidemiology Program; and 5) coordinating a statewide Georgia EIP Educational Conference. Anticipated outcomes include: 1) improved completeness of EIP data in Georgia; 2) improved timeliness of influenza testing at GPHL; 3) improved capacity to characterize HAI epidemiology in Georgia, including risk factors associated with dialysis access-associated bloodstream infections; 4) evidence base to better target HAI Program prevention activities in Georgia; 5) improved partnerships with Infection Preventionists and other EIP stakeholders in Georgia.

描述（由申请人提供）：本项目的目的是通过加强现有格鲁吉亚新发感染项目（EIP）的流行病学和实验室基础设施，特别是在流感检测、医疗相关感染和扩大传染病流行病学培训机会等领域，提高格鲁吉亚的整体传染病监测能力。格鲁吉亚的新出现感染项目（EIP）是格鲁吉亚公共卫生部（DPH）与埃默里大学医学院传染病部和亚特兰大VA医疗中心之间持续的强有力的伙伴关系。它是建立在亚特兰大大都市和整个格鲁吉亚积极的以人口为基础的监测计划的基础上的。埃默里/弗吉尼亚州的EIP活动集中在20个县的大都会亚特兰大地区，而DPH的EIP活动集中在其他139个县（格鲁吉亚以外的亚特兰大，或果阿）。项目活动包括：1）提高格鲁吉亚公共卫生实验室进行真实的实时逆转录酶聚合酶链反应（rRT-PCR）流感检测的能力; 2）在亚特兰大8个县的大都市区对透析通路相关的血流感染进行积极监测; 3）聘请流行病学家支持新生的格鲁吉亚卫生保健相关感染（HAI）预防计划; 4）EIP合作伙伴将提供为期一年的EIP传染病（ID）奖学金流行病学/公共卫生模块在埃默里大学医学院的ID培训计划的第三年，包括在DPH流行病学计划几个月的轮换;和5）协调全州格鲁吉亚EIP教育会议。预期成果包括：1）提高了格鲁吉亚EIP数据的完整性; 2）提高了GPHL流感检测的及时性; 3）提高了表征格鲁吉亚HAI流行病学的能力，包括与透析通路相关血流感染相关的风险因素; 4）更好地针对格鲁吉亚HAI项目预防活动的证据基础; 5）改善了与格鲁吉亚感染预防专家和其他EIP利益相关者的伙伴关系。
