The EEI Generic ICR is specifically designed to support CDC mission-critical functions by allowing CDC to deploy to the field to conduct Emergency Epidemic Investigations (EEIs) at the request of, and under the public health authority of, external partners seeking support for a rapid response to urgent public health problems. Data collection methods will vary depending on the circumstances and needs of the investigation and will include epidemiologic investigations, environmental assessment, and laboratory testing. The respondent universe is the population to which results will be generalized, and will vary depending on the outbreak or event, but is not a mechanism to collect data that can be generalized to the broader population. The population to which results are generalizable is limited to those potentially exposed to or affected by the health event under investigation.
