This grant is for developing and implementing a robust influenza-like illness (ILI)-specific student absenteeism monitoring system within K-12 schools. Its primary purpose is to assess the system’s effectiveness for early detection of influenza, SARS-CoV-2, and other respiratory pathogen transmission within school environments and surrounding communities. The project will involve rapidly determining the specific causes of student absenteeism over a three-year period. Furthermore, it aims to identify within-household transmission of influenza and SARS-CoV-2 originating from students absent due to ILI. Finally, the grant supports comparing the collected student absenteeism data with routine influenza and SARS-CoV-2 surveillance data from local healthcare facilities, enhancing overall public health surveillance capabilities.

| Description: | The purpose of this notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) is to support a research project that aims to develop and implement an influenza-like illness (ILI)-specific student absentee monitoring system in kindergarten through twelfth grade (K-12) schools and assess its usability for early detection of influenza, SARS-CoV-2, and other respiratory pathogen transmission in schools and surrounding communities. To achieve this aim, the project team will: 1) rapidly determine the causes of school absenteeism in students across selected school district(s) over a three-year period; 2) detect within-household transmission of influenza and SARS-CoV-2 in households from which a student has been absent from school due to ILI; and 3) assess comparability between influenza-specific and SARS-CoV-2-specific student absenteeism data from the participating schools and multiple layers of complementary influenza and SARS-CoV-2 surveillance data routinely collected in the health care facilities serving the general population of this school district. |
