- Group 2: A Review of Monkeypox
- Group 3: Modelling Monkeypox
- Group 4: Forecasting influenza and COVID-19 infections for Fall 2022
- Group 5: Estimating the true number of COVID-19 infections
->The presentations will be judged by a panel of judges including a representative from the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC).
->The winning Health-a-thon project will be announced after the event! The winning team will receive a cash prize incentive of $2000 (CAD) to contribute to the publication of a paper. Not to miss!

Trainees of the NSERC-PHAC EIDM Initiative are invited to take part in the 2022 OMNI-RÉUNIS Health-A-thon this summer. The Health-a-thon provides an opportunity for Emerging Infectious Disease Modelling (EIDM) trainees to work collaboratively in a national setting, with other EIDM trainees and researchers across Canada, on research problems that will advance federal, provincial and regional public health interests in government and industry.
The Health-a-thon is a ten-week program that runs from June to August, and provides research opportunities for EIDM trainees (postdoctoral fellows and graduate students) to work on real-world EIDM questions provided by government and industry. Trainees will work in small groups with EIDM researchers. A research question from One Health will be assigned to each group from government and industry collaborators.
First week – June 13-16, 2022-: The first Health-A-Thon meetings with trainees will take place during the CAIMS Annual Meeting (Canadian Applied and Industrial Mathematics Society). The meetings will be in a hybrid format with live streaming of talks, and both in-person and virtual poster sessions from June 13-16, 2022. Ahead of the CAIMS workshop, you will learn who will be in your group and you will be assigned a research question from One Health. As part of the first meeting, you will meet with the public health/industry representative/academic that posed the question.
June-August 2022: Each group will work collaboratively and meet regularly over the summer (via zoom and email) to provide research progress updates.
Final week – August 22-26, 2022: Final project presentations would be presented during the last week of the Health-a-Thon.
Winning Project
- The final project presentation will be presented and voted on by a panel of judges
- $2000 (CAD) will be contributed to the publication of the paper resulting from the winning health-a-thon project if it is accepted and published in a scholarly journal
