SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The single 

source award will strengthen an 

established research platform for 

arboviruses in hospital and community 

settings to identify emerging and 

endemic pathogens like dengue and 

Oropouche viruses, improve patient 

management, and evaluate prevention 

and control strategies. The core 

objectives include: 1) strengthen 

hospital surveillance of acute febrile 

illness (AFI); 2) maintain an AFI 

platform for conducting clinical 

research on special populations such as 

children and pregnant women; 3) 

maintain a community cohort to assess 

incidence and prevalence of arboviral 

infections and other AFIs, while also 

evaluate the effectiveness of vector 

control strategies; 4) strengthen the 

infrastructure for project data 

management and analysis; and 5) 

strengthen collaborations with the local 

government, community leaders, and 

other stakeholders to ensure continuity 

of the established program. 

Ponce Health Sciences Foundation 

(PHSF), Inc. is in a unique position to 

conduct this work, as it is the only 

institution with the infrastructure, 

training, and established community 

trust to implement study objectives 

rapidly and effectively. It successfully 

implemented the Sentinel Enhanced 

Dengue Surveillance System (SEDSS) at 

the St. Luke’s Episcopal Hospital 

(SLEH) in 2012 and Centro de 

Emergencia y Medicina Integrada 

(CEMI) in 2016 in Ponce, PR. PHSF 

successfully built and managed a 

community cohort of >3000 participants 

with annual visits and implemented 

interventions to evaluate efficacy of 

vector control techniques. PHSF has 

built long-standing relationships with 

the community stakeholders, which 

facilitates rapid implementation of 

public health programs and 

interventions. In addition, it has the 

following: an extensive historical 

database and well-developed data 

management systems in place to handle 

the large volume of data generated by 

this work; a well-trained workforce 

familiar with the local epidemiology, 

cultural context, and public health 

challenges; and laboratories equipped to 

process arbovirus samples quickly and 

efficiently, with validated protocols and 

established quality control measures.
