Early Detection, Response, and Control of Global Rabies Outbreaks and Associated Threats to America's Dog-Rabies Free Status

This opportunity supports research to develop, implement, monitor, and evaluate technology-driven and cost-effective tools to reduce the global human rabies burden. The research areas include electronic systems for tracking human and dog rabies vaccinations, managing human rabies exposure investigations, enhancing rabies laboratory information management systems, modeling the economic impact of dog-mediated rabies interventions, and estimating rabies-susceptible dog populations. The goal is to generate data-driven strategies to accelerate progress toward global canine rabies elimination and protect public health. • Electronic systems for tracking human and dog rabies vaccinations • Managing human rabies exposure investigations • Enhancing rabies laboratory information management systems • Modeling the economic impact of dog-mediated rabies interventions • Estimating rabies-susceptible dog populations
