The Swine Health Information Center (SHIC) has requested broad industry input for the 2023 Plan of Work which will guide activities in the coming year. 

Input may include topic areas, research priorities, and identified industry needs in which SHIC should focus efforts, such as an emerging swine disease or an emerging swine health issue. 

Rather than restricting efforts of the Center, the Plan of Work provides a roadmap for the next year but remains flexible, allowing SHIC to react to issues of the industry as they occur in real-time while staying true to the organization’s mission. SHIC’s mission is to protect and enhance the health of the US swine herd through coordinated global disease monitoring, targeted research investments that minimize the impact of future disease threats, and analysis of swine health data.

The Center has asked that individuals direct their suggestions to SHIC Executive Director Paul Sundberg or Associate Director Megan Niederwerder.
