About NCCID
About NCCID
The National Collaborating Centre for Infectious Diseases (NCCID) is one of six National Collaborating Centres for Public Health funded by the Public Health Agency of Canada, each focusing on a different area of public health. Our host organization is the International Centre for Infectious Diseases.
NCCID gathers, distills and disseminates current information, technology and tools on infectious diseases and ensures it reaches public health practitioners to the benefit of all Canadians. We identify gaps in research and knowledge and bring it to the attention of researchers and their funding bodies.
Bringing People Together. Sharing Resources.
NCCID collates relevant information and helps public health practitioners understand and use the latest research and evidence. Our conferences and strategic consultations bring together Canadian and international experts and help foster collaboration.
Our work ultimately informs public policy and better equips public health practitioners in their role of preventing and controlling emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases.
Current areas of focus:
NCCID focuses on practice and policy interventions for Canadian populations, particularly the underserved affected by:
- HIV/AIDS
- Sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections (STBBI)
- Community-acquired antimicrobial resistance
- Pandemic H1N1
- Emerging infectious diseases
