Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Children with dengue or exposed to dengue in the PDCS cohort, and participants in related dengue studies.
✕Less likely to help
Participants in other diseases or populations not part of the dengue cohorts or related studies.
What this research studies
This grant funds Core C, which runs the Pediatric Dengue Cohort Study in Managua, collecting and storing blood samples and clinical data from children with dengue. It also coordinates data sharing, sample distribution, quality control, and regulatory documentation across multiple dengue cohort projects and a vaccine challenge study. A data manager in Michigan will help compile datasets and tailor data sets to specific analyses, making it easier for researchers to pursue meaningful questions about dengue in kids. The core ensures high standards for data integrity and safe handling of human samples, supporting collaboration among sites and NIH projects.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: It could enable better understanding of how dengue affects children and support development of vaccines and treatments.
How similar studies have gone: The PDCS is described as the longest continuous dengue cohort, indicating established value and prior success.
