SUMMARY:October Bagels and Bio/Chem Defense
DESCRIPTION:Another session of Bagels and Bio/Chem Defense will be held on Friday\, October 25th at the National Academies Keck Center (500 Fifth Street NW\, Washington DC). \nThis month will be an expanded session (from 10:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.) focused on qualitative frameworks that could provide the basis for structured expert discussions of the potential security concerns posed by emerging technologies in the life sciences. \nIn August the National Academies and the InterAcademy Partnership organized a one-day workshop during the BWC Meeting of Experts to give a small international group of people attending the sessions the opportunity to pilot test how two such frameworks might be applied to BWC-relevant case examples. This month’s session will feature a scaled-down version of the exercise. \nParticipants will have the opportunity to work in small groups to apply either the framework from the 2018 National Academies report\, Biodefense in the Age of Synthetic Biology or the technology assessment portion of the framework from Jonathan Tucker’s 2012 project on Innovation\, Dual Use\, and Security. \nThis event is part of the National Academies of Sciences\, Engineering\, and Medicine’s discussion series on biological and chemical defense and security issues. It is free and open to the public\, but you must register in advance. Bagels and beverages will be provided to attendees.

SUMMARY:General Membership Meeting of the Medical CBRN Defense Consortium and CWMD Consortium
DESCRIPTION:The Medical CBRN Defense Consortium and the Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Consortium\, in conjunction with the JPEO-CBRND and DHS CWMD Office\, will host a consortia meeting and industry outreach event on 12-13 Nov 2019 in Bethesda\, Md. \nThis event will include multiple opportunities for Government\, industry\, and academia to interact and exchange information regarding upcoming business opportunities. \nThis event will focus on medical and non-medical CBRNE related requirements of the CBRN enterprise including the JPEO-CBRND\, DHS CWMD Office\, DTRA\, and others. \nAssistant Secretary McDonnell and other speakers will update participants on CWMD’s progress towards meeting its mission and expand on the Office’s current areas of emphasis. The event will include plenary sessions\, user panel\, and an expanded exhibit area. This event will include sessions with government\, industry\, academia\, and operational users who have an interest in countering chemical\, biological\, radiological\, and nuclear threats in the new CWMD mission space. \nMembership in MCDC is limited to US companies or US-based affiliates of foreign companies. Foreign companies cannot gain membership due to MCDC’s requirement that members obtain a DD2345 (military critical technical data agreement). However\, foreign companies can be subcontractors (team members) on projects awarded through the Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) as long as they can meet the terms and conditions of the OTA. The MCDC member awarded the project is responsible for flowing the applicable requirements down to the foreign company. \nThe Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction (CWMD) Consortium was formed in response to the Government’s expressed interest to establish an Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) with an eligible entity or group of entities\, to include industry\, academic\, and not-for-profit partners\, for advanced development efforts to support agencies that have a need to prototype new technologies related to Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction. The OTA Consortium is an enterprise partnership between the US Government (JPEO-CBRND) and the CWMD Consortium connected through a “contract-like” OTA.  This OTA operates outside the Federal Acquisition Regulations. \nFor more information and registration\, please contact the Medical CBRN Defense Consortium at MCDC@ati.org  or the CWMD Consortium cwmd@ati.org.

SUMMARY:Ultraviolet Disinfection Technologies & Healthcare Associated Infections
DESCRIPTION:The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is co-hosting a 2-day meeting with the International Ultra Violet Association (IUVA) focused on examining measurement\, standards\, technology and data research needs to promote innovation in the effective use and implementation of ultraviolet-C (UVC) technology in healthcare settings for the reduction and prevention of healthcare associated infections (HAIs). \nThis unique event provides the community with an opportunity to learn about the current science in HAI prevention with UVC and to discuss standard needs in both the physical and biological performance areas for UVC disinfection devices. \nHAIs are recognized as an important public health and patient safety issue. UVC devices are shown to reduce the incidence of many HAIs\, but the adoption of the technology by the healthcare industry has been sparse. There is a lack of performance standards to help healthcare managers make informed\, credible investment decisions. Measurements and standards in the light and biological sciences are needed to accelerate the adoption of UVC technology in the healthcare market. \nThrough two days of targeted programming\, attendees will learn about the latest developments in UVC technology\, engineering and operations\, and regulatory issues related to disinfection. Current measurements\, standards and data supporting UVC disinfection will be discussed in the context of innovation and implementation. Input from the event will be used by the community for the development of proposed performance standards for UVC disinfection devices. \nProgramming will include plenary presentations from invited keynote subject matter experts and round table engagements with representatives from industry\, academia and federal agencies. There will be optional campus lab tours where attendees can view up-close NIST’s metrology R&D in the UV and biological sciences\, including UV calibrations and biological measurements. \nRegistration contact: Karen M. Startsman\, karen.startsman@nist.gov (301) 975-6602 \nEditor’s note (1 Dec 2019): Registration is expected to open shortly.  Please check this website for the latest information updates.

SUMMARY:Containing the Coronavirus: Challenges to Thwarting the Outbreak
DESCRIPTION:Hudson Institute and the Bipartisan Commission on Biodefense will host a panel discussion on the ongoing coronavirus outbreak and how the United States can respond to the growing outbreak effectively. \nConfirmed infections of the coronavirus in China have exceeded that of the 2002-2003 SARS epidemic\, with thousands more suspected cases. As the number of cases increases\, concerns are mounting that the global community may not be adequately prepared to prevent the disease from significantly spreading. \nThe virus has already spread to more than 20 countries\, including the United States\, with at least six confirmed cases and more than 100 suspected across 36 states. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) is screening passengers arriving from China at several airports\, but much remains unknown about transmission and symptoms\, and a CDC-developed diagnostic test has yet to be distributed across the country. \nPanel participants will offer their perspectives on the role of the federal government in managing the crisis\, the lack of transparency by the Communist Chinese Government\, implications for U.S national security\, and how the country can better prepare for when the next pandemic strikes. \nThe event will feature U.S. Senator Joe Lieberman\, co-chair of the Bipartisan Commission on Biodefense\, scholars from Hudson Institute\, and other subject matter experts. \nNOTE: This event is open to the press. All members of the media should RSVP to press@hudson.org.
