(A three year project in partnership with the Ministry of Health, Government of Armenia)
Funding Agency: USAID
PI: Varduhi Petrosyan, PhD and Co-PI Tsovinar Harutyunyan, PhD, MPH
USAID-funded “Support to Control COVID-19 and Other Infectious Disease Outbreaks” project
is implemented by the CHSR in collaboration with the RA Ministry of Health. The project is part
of a longstanding partnership between the USAID and AUA, and it is working to strengthen
Armenia’s national capacity to control COVID-19 and other communicable disease outbreaks
and emergencies of potential public health concern. The project strengthens the capacity of the
Government of Armenia to formulate and implement public policies and services to prevent and
respond to emergencies of potential public health concern; advance primary healthcare capacity
for surveillance, detection, assessment, early notification, and response to disease outbreaks and
other emergencies of potential public health concern; and improve literacy on COVID-19 and
other communicable diseases. This project fosters horizontal collaboration with faculty from the
AUA Colleges of Humanities and Social Sciences, of Business and Economics, and of Science
and Engineering. It will end in September 2023.
