National Institute of Allergy andInfectious Diseases (NIAID) – Rapid Response was Crucial to Containing the 1918 Flu Pandemic – Historical Analyses Help Plan for Future Pandemics.

  • NIAID Expands Capability for Influenza Research and Surveillance: “The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), today announced it is awarding $23 million per year for seven years to establish six Centers of Excellence for Influenza Research and Surveillance. Collectively, the centers will expand NIAID’s influenza surveillance program internationally and in the United States, and will bolster influenza research in key areas, including understanding how the virus causes disease and how the human immune system responds to infection with the virus. The goal of the newly created centers is to provide the federal government with important information to inform public health strategies for controlling and lessening the impact of seasonal influenza as well as an influenza pandemic.”
