Congress is dramatically increasing the amount of money that the NIH and FDA spend on research partnerships with the private sector — namely, collaborations with drug and device companies.
Just 10 months since administration of the first COVID-19 vaccine dose, hundreds of millions of people worldwide have been inoculated. As of mid-August, more than 4 billion vaccine doses have been administered worldwide, and over 50% of eligible Americans are fully vaccinated.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The Reagan-Udall Foundation for the FDA will present 2021 Innovations in Regulatory Science Awards to Peter Marks, MD, PhD, The COVID-19 Research Database, and former U.S. Representative Patrick J. Kennedy.
The U.S. government should consider creating a strategic national stockpile of capacity for clinical research. Government could also fund and help create a standing network of clinical trial sites that can immediately respond to future pandemics — and keep them “warm” by using them to conduct research on high-priority public health threats.
Sponsored by Reagan-Udall Foundation, key federal leadership and important stakeholders join a virtual public workshop on September 28 titled “Federal COVID-19 Response: Clinical Evaluation of Therapeutics Lessons Learned.”
The event will disseminate findings from the Federal COVID-19 Response or Countermeasures Acceleration Groups (formerly known as Operation Warp Speed) to bring relevant therapeutics to use in the next public health emergency.
