Over the last 20 years (2000–2019), three modeling groups who access GPEI data as part of a data-sharing agreement created in 2013 (i.e. Kid Risk, Inc. (KRI, Orlando, FL), Imperial College (IC, London, United Kingdom), and the Institute for Disease Modeling (IDM, Seattle, WA)) performed the bulk of this polio modeling. The three groups largely work independently, which provides some confidence to the GPEI partners when the results from the groups agree. However, sometimes the groups provide conflicting results and recommendations. In addition, some other polio modeling papers also appeared in the published literature during this time.","tracks":[]}
