Complex and interdependent problems, like coronavirus, demand access to expertise that is widely dispersed. Global and complex public health emergencies threaten public health and well-being, risk disruption to global and regional trade and economic stability, and cause widespread uncertainty and concern. This project will focus on devising innovative solutions to public health challenges across all four stages of crisis response, including mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery.
