University School of Medicine has received a $2.2 million Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) grant to prevent spread of infectious diseases, according to an article on the Emory website.
The CDC grant makes Emory a member of the Prevention Epicenters Program, which focuses on infection control and prevention research in health care facilities
Emory will collaborate with Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) and Georgia State University on the grant, creating the Prevention Epicenter of Emory and Atlanta Consortium Hospitals or PEACH.
Emory and five other U.S. academic medical centers join five existing centers to accelerate healthcare innovations by discovering new methods to protect patients and health care workers from highly infectious diseases. The new centers will focus on the prevention of Ebola and more common infections that are transmitted like Ebola.
