Glen Nowak, Michael Cacciatore, Bart Wojdynski, Glenna Read, and Itai Himelboim are part of a University of Georgia proposal submitted in response to a National Institutes of Health call for proposals to establish Centers of Excellence for Influenza Research and Response (CIERR). As part of UGA’s proposal to establish a UGA Center for Influenza Disease and Emergence Research (CIDER), the Grady College Center for Health & Risk Communication could receive approximately $2,352,975 to undertake survey, message and material testing involving eye-tracking and psychophysiological measures, and social media monitoring-related research related to pandemic influenza beliefs and intentions over the course of seven years. The overall UGA contract proposal is approximately $57 million for the seven-year period.
