The Global Initiative on Sharing All Influenza Data (GISAID), is a global consortium of scientists who actively promote the international sharing of all influenza type virus sequences, related clinical and epidemiological data associated with human isolates, and geographic and species-specific data associated with avian and other animal isolates.
GISAID is providing a publicly accessible platform including the EpiFlu database that is free of charge. The H1N1 influenza strain which caused the 2009 flu pandemic, although not an avian influenza, is explicitly included.
GISAID came to life on 2006-08-24 as the Global Initiative on Sharing Avian Influenza Data by a group of leading medical researchers from around the world to improve the sharing of influenza data and was announced in a letter published in the journal Nature signed by over 70 leading scientists including seven Nobel laureates.
Its users are requested to register and agree that they share their own data, credit the use of others' data, analyze findings jointly and publish results collaboratively, and maintain common access to technology derived from the data so that it can be used not only for research but for development of products such as diagnostics and vaccines. The data will be available immediately to all who sign on to use the database under the terms that they will acknowledge the source of the data and endeavor to work with those that provide the data.
