6. Pathogens of Concern

7. Focus on Potable Water! • Other environments (e.g., cooling towers) may be mentioned as appropriate for context or where drinking water information is specifically lacking, but drinking water focus will be critical.

8. Lit Review Strategy • See outline (attached to email): • Follows the four Research Tracks and is generally organized by each individual pathogen. • Participants in each Track will be assigned a pathogen or other specific research question and use the corresponding outline to guide the lit review. • Conference calls will aid in steering the lit review and also in cross-dissemination. • After the outline filled in, Virginia Tech team will work to integrate the material, improve consistency, and identify emergent themes. • VT students available to assist as needed

9. Wiki Site, Google Docs, Zotero • Wiki Site: Central forum for information and communication about Project 4379. • Google Documents: Emerging literature review for each Track will be maintained as a Google Document. Enter draft lit review sections as they are ready for all to see and refer to. • Zotero: Management of citations will be critical. Upload citations to Zotero with comments to classify where the information goes in the literature review. There will be one Zotero database for all four tracks • (Randi Lieberman- overview)
