The New York State Emerging Infections Program (NYSEIP) was formed in 1997 via a partnership between the New York State Department of Health’s (NYSDOH) Centers for Community Health (CCH) and Environmental Health (CEH) and Wadsworth Center Laboratories (WC) and the University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC), Center for Community Health. This group of collaborators supports the NYSEIP in efforts to conduct active population-based surveillance activities, applied public health epidemiologic and laboratory projects, and implements and evaluates prevention/intervention projects for emerging infectious diseases. Leveraging the strengths of the NYSDOH and URMC, has enabled the NYSEIP to have much greater flexibility to rapidly respond to crosscutting requests for new EIP surveillance initiatives and special projects. The New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) has the statutory authority and responsibility to conduct disease surveillance, oversee outbreak investigations, and perform food and water inspections at regulated facilities. All physicians, hospitals, and licensed clinical laboratories are required to report cases or suspect cases of over 60 communicable diseases and conditions. NYSDOH is proposing an catchment area to include 50 of the 57 New York State Counties (excludes New York City) in total, expanded to 14 Central New York (CNY) counties, and two Long Island counties, and the proposed new LHDs (if funded): Broome, Cayuga, Chenango, Cortland, Herkimer, Jefferson, Lewis, Madison, Oneida, Onondaga, Oswego, St. Lawrence, Tioga, Tompkins (immediate FoodNet expansion and invasive pneumococcal disease in kids <5) Nassau and Suffolk (explore feasibility in year 2 of FoodNet expansion and invasive pneumococcal disease in kids <5). The NYSDOH will be applying for the following components of this competitive application: • A. Infrastructure and Data Modernization • B. Surveillance and Reporting 1 • C. Surveillance and Reporting 2 • Respiratory Virus Hospitalization Surveillance Network (RESP-NET) o D. Influenza Hospitalization Surveillance Network (FluSurv-NET) o E. Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV)- Associated Hospitalizations (RSV-NET) o F. Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)- Associated Hospitalization Surveillance (COVID-NET) • G. Active Bacterial Core Surveillance (ABCs) • H. Foodborne Disease Active Surveillance Network (FoodNet) • I. Healthcare-Associated Infections- Community Interface (HAIC) • J.
