FDA Grand Rounds: The CORE Network (or How I Learned to Love Lettuce…)
January 14, 2021
Virtual
The FDA Grand Rounds is webcast every other month to highlight cutting-edge research underway across the agency and its impact on protecting and advancing public health. Each session features an FDA scientist presenting on a key public health challenge and how FDA is applying science to its regulatory activities.
FDA's Coordinated Outbreak Response and Evaluation (CORE) Network was created to manage not just outbreak response, but surveillance and post-response activities related to incidents involving multiple illnesses linked to FDA-regulated human food, dietary supplements, and cosmetic products. Learn how outbreaks are investigated – find out how are they identified, what steps are taken to stop them, and how learning from these investigations can prevent them from happening again.
- Coordinated Outbreak Response and Evaluation (CORE) Network. Available: http://inside.fda.gov:9003/CFSAN/CORE/default.htm
- Discuss the research conducted at the FDA
- Explain how FDA science impacts public health
- Describe the mission of CORE.
- List at least five partners with whom CORE works.
- Explain the movement of an outbreak through the CORE Teams.
- Give an example of a pathogen/food commodity pair.
This activity is intended for physicians, pharmacists, nurses, and other scientists within the agency and external scientific communities.
