The CDC developed the Safety and Healthcare Epidemiology Prevention Research Development (SHEPheRD) Program in 2011.

AM offers a full range of prevention strategies and solutions for infectious diseases during assessment and mitigation phases— focus group and survey data collection and analyses for healthcare providers, patients, and patient advocates, contact tracing, testing, vaccination, disinfection technologies, and program evaluation. AM has provided life-saving services during the COVID-19 pandemic including rapid staff deployment, technology infrastructure set up, stakeholder and community-based organizations collaboration, outreach, and referral campaigns, and data analyses and reporting.
