Understanding emerging infectious diseases and their impact on health
LEIDOS FUNDING TO25, OPTION 2 OBSERVATIONAL STUDY
This study is looking at new and returning infectious diseases that have become more common recently, and it involves patients to help us understand how these illnesses affect health and how we can improve treatments for everyone.

What this research studies
This research focuses on investigating emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases, particularly those that have seen a significant increase in incidence over the past two decades. By conducting observational studies, the research aims to gather detailed data on the biology of these pathogens and their effects on human health. Patients may be involved in follow-up assessments to track disease progression and outcomes, contributing valuable information to improve treatment protocols. The study emphasizes patient-centered outcomes to ensure that findings are relevant to those affected by these diseases.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for participation include individuals who have been diagnosed with or are at risk for emerging infectious diseases.
Not a fit: Patients with well-established infectious diseases that are not classified as emerging or re-emerging may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved understanding and management of emerging infectious diseases, ultimately enhancing patient care and outcomes.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown success in understanding infectious diseases through observational studies, indicating that this approach is both viable and valuable.
