Abstract

The Centers of Excellence for Influenza Research and Response (CEIRR) Risk Assessment Pipeline (RAP) integrates surveillance, phenotypic analysis, and computational modeling across six CEIRR centers to evaluate the pandemic potential of influenza A viruses. By generating coordinated data sets from wild and domestic animals and linking them to viral evolution and functional traits, CEIRR RAP supports the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's and the World Health Organization's risk-assessment efforts. The RAP's data packages thereby enable evidence-based prioritization of global influenza preparedness and response strategies.
