Pandemic Preparedness in the Interpandemic Period: ISARIC, InFACT and the Global Response to Emerging Infectious Disease Threats
FY 2011-12
Summary
Research is the cornerstone of effective medical treatment. However conducting research during an evolving pandemic such as the recent outbreaks of H1N1 influenza or SARS presents special challenges. SARS and H1N1 taught us that to mount an effective research response in the future, we must be prepared in advance. Canada has been a recognized global leader in research in infectious diseases and critical care medicine. Canadians have played a leading role in launching two new global research networks - the International Severe Acute Respiratory Infections Consortium (ISARIC) and the International Forum for Acute Care Trialists (InFACT). Our planned meeting will bring together members of InFACT and ISARIC with other Canadian researchers to further plan and develop a coordinated research response to future pandemics or emerging threats.
