MITRE Grand Challenges Power Hour: Launching an “Apollo Mission” for US Biopreparedness
 

As we continually improve our response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the US must also prepare for the next global health emergency. On October 14th, join MITRE leadership and government partners as we frame the persistent challenges in driving US government action to achieve global health security and highlight the high -profile biopreparedness strategies and efforts underway at the White House, Congressional, and Executive Agency-level. The event will bridge typically siloed areas within the national landscape with the intent of strengthening collaboration between the national security and public health sectors.
