Outbreak Observatory, housed at the Pandemic Center at the Brown University School of Public Health, serves as a platform for generating evidence and sharing data and information related to ongoing and emerging infectious disease health security threats.

What Does Outbreak Observatory Do?

Generate Evidence

Through collaborations with domestic and international partners, we study infectious disease crises to improve future preparedness, response, and recovery efforts, including challenges, best practices, and innovative and effective solutions. Our research findings are shared broadly to reach those responsible for building public health and healthcare capacities.

Track Public Health Threats

Our data dashboard provides up-to-date epidemiological information on ongoing outbreaks, both domestic and international. We also publish a weekly newsletter, the Tracking Report, that interprets, contextualizes, and summarizes relevant outbreak data.
