EVALUATION
WP5
A multi-year evaluation plan will be elaborated in order to monitor AMR in selected pilot countries (prioritising the eight focus countries indicated in the call) for model calibration. Selection criteria for inclusion of pilot countries will be defined in order to ensure representative data are available for broad model refinement. Variables identified in WPs 1, 2, 3 and 4 that are routinely collected by health care systems will be prioritised in order to facilitate data collection and subsequent model refinement.
The evaluation plan implemented in this WP will be informed by activities in WP1 and WP2 that review the types of data that are routinely collected in healthcare systems and identify data that will be suitable for model refinement and calibration.
​
​
Objectives:
-
Development and implementation of a multi-year evaluation and data collection plan for monitoring AMR in selected pilot countries for model calibration.
-
Refinement of the model using real data collected from selected pilot sites for identifying information gaps, assessing the reliability of model parameters, and verifying model assumptions/predictions.
-
Elaboration of comprehensive guidance material that will facilitate use of the model by stakeholders.
-
Elaboration and implementation of a sustainability roadmap that ensures long-term model calibration/validation and accessibility after project completion.
Academic Lead: Dr Astrid Pérez-Gómez Biography, ISCIII, is a internationally oriented researcher in clinical microbiology and infectious diseases, with extensive experience in vaccine development and the identification of novel targets for designing innovative therapies against multidrug-resistant pathogens. A notable scientific output and leadership in international projects support her expertise. She has conducted research at the Institute of Biomedical Research of A Coruña and Miami University (Oxford, OH, USA) before joining the biotech spin-off Vaxdyn in 2021 as a project manager, developing vaccines against Klebsiella pneumoniae. Currently, she is a Principal Investigator at ISCIII and collaborates on multiple international projects, such as PrIMaVeRa and Acinetwork, driving innovative immunotherapy-based solutions to combat infections caused by critical-priority pathogens.
Industry Lead: Dr. Venanzio Vella, GSK: Dr. Venanzio Vella earned his MD, MSc and PhD in Epidemiology from the London School of Hygiene, and MSc in Health Economics from the University of York, UK. He is the senior epidemiologist lead at GSK Vaccines in Siena since 2016. After first experiences as health specialist for WHO, UNICEF and the World Bank, he worked as an epidemiologist for Ministries and Public Health Institutes in several countries before joining Imperial College and later GSK. He will be the EFPIA lead for work packages 1 and 5.
