AI Contract Overview
The contract focuses on enhancing health outcomes for newcomers to the U.S., including refugees and immigrants, by advancing efforts to monitor and manage infectious diseases through a multi-state domestic medical examination surveillance system. It aims to develop clinician training programs, clinical resources, and consultation services to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of domestic medical screenings and treatment for complex health issues. This initiative builds upon previous work carried out under the Centers of Excellence in Newcomer Health cooperative agreement from 2015 to 2020, which established a secure data repository of newcomer health information, contributed to updating CDC health screening guidelines, and created an online tool to assist clinicians with these guidelines. The contract is managed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Division of Global Migration and Health, under the Department of Health and Human Services. Its goal is to strengthen public health partnerships, leverage scientific research, and enhance response capabilities to ensure timely identification and management of infectious disease outbreaks among newly arrived populations. The program seeks to provide a comprehensive, coordinated domestic approach to newcomer health that supports medical professionals and improves overall public health outcomes within the U.S.

Full Description
Every year, thousands of newcomers, including refugees, immigrants and other lawful groups, resettle in the U.S. from overseas. CDC's Division of Global Migration and Health (DGMH) is focused on improving the health among newcomers through public health partnerships, science, and response. This funding opportunity will seek to improve newcomer health outcomes by establishing multi-state domestic medical examination (DME) surveillance to quickly and effectively identify infectious disease outbreaks; developing clinician training and clinical tools and resources to ensure efficient domestic medical screening; and implementing clinical consultation to assist with treatment of complex medical concerns. This work will build on efforts started with the Centers of Excellence in Newcomer Health (2015-2020) cooperative agreement that began development of a secure data repository of health information of recently arrived newcomers, assisted CDC in the revision of health screening guidelines for these populations, and created an online tool to assist clinicians with the CDC health screening guidelines.
