Thanks, Wendy The Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) will host the 3rd annual teamed web app intern development competition in Summer 2016 to foster novel and creative approaches that enhance biosurveillance. Intern teams will be responsible for identifying the target user, usage scenarios, and app design and development. Interns will be encouraged to leverage and adapt new and existing algorithms, analytics, mathematical models and other tools and methods to support the analytic needs of the target users. Each intern team will produce over the course of the 10 week long program a fully functional disease surveillance-related web application, which at the conclusion of the program will be judged by a panel of domain experts, and cash prizes will be awarded to the winners. The competition will be managed to provide both a positive educational experience for the interns as well as a high-quality software product. All students are expected to start on the same day during summer 2016. PNNL will organize and provide support and guidance for a solid design and implementation process. Teams will be chosen to contain a suitable representation of experience, including software engineering, human-computer interaction, social media, epidemiology, and mathematical modeling and simulation. Additionally, interns will exhibit a strong desire to work collaboratively in a team and the ability to effectively communicate and present their ideas.
