Resources
MassCPR connects researchers, clinicians, and public health partners with high‑quality training and patient resources focused on infectious diseases and pandemic preparedness. Below, we highlight programs featuring MassCPR’s co-leadership and collaborations, as well as useful external resources.
BEACON
MassCPR collaborates with organizations advancing infectious disease surveillance and preparedness, including Biothreats Emergence, Analysis and Communications Network (BEACON), based at Boston University Center on Emerging Infectious Diseases. Led by Nahid Bhadelia, BEACON is a global, open-source surveillance platform that rapidly identifies and shares information on emerging infectious disease threats.
Brown University Pandemic Center
Another organization that collaborates with MassCPR is the Brown University Pandemic Center. Led by Jennifer Nuzzo, the Pandemic Center analyzes infectious disease data to support public health preparedness and response. Each week they put out a detailed newsletter interpreting the latest data and information about current infectious disease outbreaks around the world.
Pathogen Genomics Center of Excellence for Education
The Pathogen Genomics Centers of Excellence (PGCoE) Education Program offers free, self-paced online courses in pathogen genomic epidemiology for public health professionals. Developed through the CDC-funded PGCoE network, these courses help strengthen outbreak response and workforce training. This is a MassCPR-affiliated initiative.
Long COVID Resources
The Brigham and Women’s Hospital COVID Recovery Center provides multidisciplinary care, research opportunities, and virtual support programs for individuals living with Long COVID. Julie Sullivan, a MassCPR collaborator, helps connect patients and families with grounded resources and support services
