Chinese Center For Disease Control And Prevention National Institute For Viral Disease Control And Prevention

Chinese Center For Disease Control And Prevention National Institute For Viral Disease Control And Prevention is a foreign government entity based in China that has been registered to receive federal grant awards from the U.S. government since 2012. It appears to be involved in disease surveillance and control efforts related to viral pathogens.

The National Institute for Viral Disease Control and Prevention has received multiple sub-grant awards from Washington University to conduct surveillance and research on emerging viral infections in China. The awards describe activities to conduct continuous surveillance for human cases of unknown fevers, viral encephalitis, and vector-borne diseases from mosquitoes and ticks at sentinel hospitals in northern and southwestern China. Around 250 samples are collected annually from roughly 150 patients for testing. After screening for common pathogens in China, a subset of samples is sent to Washington University for further analysis of potential novel viruses. The grants outline incremental payment schedules totaling over $200,000 per year contingent on receipt of expense reports detailing fund usage. The work aims to detect known and emerging viral threats, characterize the viral pathogens, and understand their epidemiology and pathogenesis.
