The ISDS Research Committee developed the Awards for Outstanding
Research Articles in Biosurveillance (Award) in order to recognize disease
surveillance scientists and professionals for contributions to their fields of
research.
The initial Award candidate pool consisted of articles summarized
by members of the ISDS Literature
Review Subcommittee between July 2012 and June 2013. A nomination period
was open from May 29, 2013 through June 25, 2013, during which any interested
stakeholder was invited to nominate one or more of the articles in the initial
pool or write-in any relevant article published in July 2012 or later. The
Award Committee then reviewed all nominated articles and narrowed the list down
to 3-4 finalist articles in each award category. The ISDS membership voted to
determine the final Award winners.
The ISDS Research Committee is proud to announce
the winners of the 2013 Awards for Outstanding Research Articles in Biosurveillance:
