Job Description-Overview :

RESPOND is the largest of five USAID-coordinated projects designed to identify and minimize the impact of newly emergent diseases of animal origin that threaten human health. DAI and its partners (Tufts University, the University of Minnesota, Training Resources Group, and Ecology and Environment) will build the capacity to respond to pandemic threat of national animal and public health institutions throughout five designated "hot spot" regions in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. The integration of animal and human health epidemiology and surveillance- a One World, One HealthTM approach to disease control-makes this program unique.
