Abstract: The collection of the information required for the study "Human Influenza Surveillance of Health Care Centers in the United States and Taiwan" directly ties to the core mission of NIAID and NIH. The surveillance that will be conducted under this protocol (Attachment 2) will permit timely identification of Influenza viruses with pandemic potential, as well as variant seasonal influenza virus strains such as those resulting from antigenic drift; complementary clinical research will assess serologic and immunologic correlates of infection and disease severity. The sites that will be developed in the US and Taiwan will provide the US government with capacities to respond appropriately to emerging and re-emerging influenza strains. This study will provide information to better understand influenza in the human population in close to real time by utilizing advanced molecular testing methods which permit triaging (or selection) of sample for more in-depth analysis. The knowledge gained will be utilized to enhance health and reduce illness due to influenza infection.

Emergency Justfication: This is a request for an emergency clearance of the “Human Influenza Surveillance of Health Care Centers in the United States and Taiwan Study” on the grounds that this is essential to the mission of The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and that NIAID cannot reasonably comply with the normal clearance procedures and this would likely prevent or substantially disrupt the collection of information (5CFR 1320.13, see Attachment 1- Memo requesting Emergency Exemption). In addition, prevention of the study would cause public harm through the loss of critically needed information to understand the nature of the virus strains causing influenza during this year of increased influenza activity. The information gathered is critical for public health preparedness measures for the next influenza season, because characterizing current influenza virus strains effects the choice of next year’s influenza vaccine strains and helps determine effective treatment strategies by assessing the degree of antiviral resistance present in current influenza virus strains.
