Join the National Academy of Sciences for a virtual symposium examining how to strengthen the evidence-based prioritization of epidemic and pandemic preparedness and response capabilities. The purpose of this symposium is to convene global health planning stakeholders, including those in government and academia, and across health- and non-health sectors. Objectives of this meeting are the following:

  • Review assessment tools and how, independently and together, they relate to national action planning.
  • Gain insight into how countries and organizations currently select priorities in funding for epidemic prevention, detection, and response.
  • Assess evidence for effective prioritization approaches to building disease surveillance and risk communication capabilities.
  • Identify governance structures that can support robust and reliable systems for global health investments.
