Northeastern University in Boston will be given $17.5 million by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to lead an innovation center focused on infectious disease detection and preparation, the university announced.

By Daniel P. Aldrich, co-director of the Global Resilience Institute, director of the Security and Resilience Studies Program, as well as professor in the Department of Political Science and the School of Public Policy and Urban Affairs at Northeastern University.

The COVID-19 Pandemic caught the U.S. off guard. Now, the CDC is investing more than $17 million in a new center at Northeastern University to make sure that doesn’t happen again.

As one of the five national innovation centers in the new network, Northeastern University in Boston will receive $17.5 million over the next five years to head a center called “EPISTORM: The Center for Advanced Epidemic Analytics and Predictive Modeling Technology.”

Northeastern University has been selected for a leading role in a new national network formed to better forecast the spread of a future pandemic.

The new center at Northeastern will track infectious diseases and provide outbreak forecasts to communities, sort of like a “National Weather Service for epidemics.”

“Northeastern among sites chosen by CDC to establish ‘National Weather Service’ for infectious disease,” by Felice J. Freyer, Boston Globe.

Researchers will use wastewater surveillance, artificial intelligence and machine learning to help make more informed decisions about future outbreaks of diseases.
