A Center of Innovation
As a Center of Innovation within Insight Net, Emory CIDMATH is developing new analytical methods, data, tools, and modeling platforms to inform public health decision-making. All this work feeds into Insight Net, a nationwide network for outbreak analytics, disease modeling, and forecasting to support more effective responses during public health emergencies.Â
Fostering innovation, collaboration, and excellence
Emory CIDMATH fosters innovation, collaboration, and excellence in infectious disease modeling and analytics. We work closely with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and community partners to:
- Design and Implement Analytical Tools: We develop cutting-edge analytical methods, tools, and platforms to enhance disease modeling efforts. Our goal is to provide decision-makers with accurate, real-time information on infectious diseases, including during public health emergencies.
- Generate Critical Data Streams: CIDMATH generates novel data streams that inform epidemiologists, researchers, and policymakers. By combining data science and infectious disease expertise, we contribute to effective outbreak response.
- Train the Next Generation: We offer both short-term training programs and experiential fellowships for infectious disease epidemiologists and modelers in advanced methods.
Insight Net
CDC’s Center for Forecasting and Outbreak Analytics established Insight Net to build disease modeling capacity across the country. Insight Net’s 13 centers collaborate with community partners in their work as either Innovators, Integrators, or Implementers:
Innovators
Focus on method development, research, and training that informs public health decision-making
Integrators
Focus on evaluating and tailoring tools for rapid, real-world data collection in public health systems
Implementers
Focus on scaling and training public health professionals on top-performing toolsÂ
