Findings on SARS-CoV-2 Surveillance and Investigations
Awarded in 2022, the project included the development of two models.
- One model illustrated transmission within and between geographic subdivisions.
- The second model was used to understand the impacts of factors such as vaccination, population density, and socioeconomic indices on viral diversity and transmission patterns.
This project is developing strategies to pivot from other sources of sampling for genomic surveillance as individual PCR tests decline. This includes novel approaches such as development of partnerships with local libraries to pilot collection of rapid antigen tests for sequencing from library patrons for community genomic surveillance. Additionally, researchers are leveraging existing partnerships with local public health department partners to incorporate research data in respiratory virus dashboards.
Awarded in 2022, this project is still in progress.
