Research

He has received research grants from foundations such as the Rockefeller Foundation, and the Benter Foundation,[17] as well as grants and contracts from government agencies including the US Department of Health and Human Services and the Veterans Health Administration. Dausey's research on public health systems received international attention when it called into question the preparedness of public health agencies to respond to major emergencies.[18][19][20] Dausey has used exercises to evaluate public health agencies and cooperations between public health agencies and their community partners.[21][22][23] Dausey has conducted research on global disease surveillance and global cooperations for public health.[24] Dausey and colleague Melinda Moore (RAND) were the first to coin the term "sub-regional disease surveillance networks" to describe the emerging trend of transnational disease surveillance and control organized and governed by member countries to address their shared priorities.[25] Dausey has emphasized the need to develop models to sustain these cooperations over time.[26] In addition, Dausey is an expert in planning for global public health emergencies such as pandemic influenza.[27] He developed and conducted tabletop exercises in collaboration with the ministries of health of six countries in Southeast Asia.[28] He later conducted similar exercises in East Africa[29] and the Middle East.[30]
