• Spatial and temporal data analyses for public health surveillance
• Analyses of text, image or qualitative data
• Risk analysis, prediction and decision science
• Techniques for assessing and monitoring public health practice, preparedness and emergency or disaster response
• Synthesis, development, selection and assessment of statistical models for numeric and non-numeric data: meta-analysis, integrated systematic review, multi-center data analyses and applications of data-mining
• Biometric Applications to Public Health
• Methodological issues and applications of multiple data sources for risk prediction
• Genomic Studies and Health Effects
• Simulation Models for predicting near, mid or long-term disease outcomes during the course of an outbreak
