DESCRIPTION:The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Biological Technologies Office is holding a Proposers Day meeting and webinar covering the new Personalized Protective Biosystem (PPB) program on Dec 4\, 2019 in Arlington\, Va. \nPPB aims to develop technology that reduces the need for burdensome protective equipment while increasing individual protection against chemical and biological threats. The program comprises two technical areas: 1) reactive materials that prevent threat agent access to the body; 2) a configurable barrier countermeasure that neutralizes threat agents at vulnerable points of entry (i.e.\, skin\, airway\, ocular). \nAdditional details\, including registration instructions\, are available at https://go.usa.gov/xp8dU. The registration deadline is November 26\, 2019\, at 12:00 PM EST or when capacity is reached. Registrations for webinar attendance only are accepted through December 2\, 2019\, or until webinar capacity is reached. \nDARPA hosts Proposers Days to provide potential performers with information on whether and how they might respond to the Government’s research and development solicitations and to increase efficiency in proposal preparation and evaluation. Therefore\, the PPB Proposers Day is open only to registered potential applicants\, and not to the media or general public. \nDARPA anticipates sharing additional program details in a forthcoming Broad Agency Announcement to be posted to the https://beta.sam.gov/ website.

SUMMARY:Envisioning a Transformed Clinical Trials Enterprise for 2030
DESCRIPTION:The National Academies’ Forum on Drug Discovery\, Development\, and Translation will host a virtual public workshop on Jan 26\, 2021 as part of a web series forum of events to discuss critical policy for advancement of biopharmaceutical innovation nationally and globally. \nThis virtual public workshop will provide a venue for stakeholders to consider a transformed clinical trial enterprise for 2030. Workshop participants will consider lessons learned from progress and setbacks over the past 10 years\, since the previous workshop\, Envisioning a Transformed Clinical Trials Enterprise in the United States\, and\, looking forward\, discuss goals and key priorities for advancing a clinical trials enterprise that is more efficient\, effective\, person-centered\, inclusive\, and integrated into the health delivery system of 2030. \nThe event will provide an overview discussion on how an envisioned 2030 clinical trials enterprise may differ from the current system. It will discuss key challenges and opportunities in improving person-centeredness and inclusivity\, building resilience and transparency\, and integrating new technologies. \nThe workshop session will consider changes in the clinical trials enterprise made in response to COVID-19 that may establish positive and sustainable examples for the future\, and consider specific action steps that individual stakeholders could take to support an envisioned change from 2020 to 2030. \nFor additional information on the workshop series\, please visit the project page. \nBackground\nClinical trials research has changed dramatically over the last decade. The biological\, physical\, and digital spheres are merging; clinical research and health care are at a critical juncture; new approaches enable the collection of data in real-world settings; and new modalities\, such as digital health technologies and artificial intelligence applications\, are changing possibilities for the conduct of clinical research. These opportunities hold great promise for advancing our understanding of health maintenance and prevention\, disease progression\, and developing new therapies for patients. At the same time\, the clinical research enterprise is strained by rising costs\, an evolving regulatory and economic landscape\, increasing clinical trial complexity\, difficulties in the recruitment and retention of research participants\, and a clinical research workforce that is under tremendous stress. Some\, but not all\, of these challenges and opportunities were predicted in the 2011 National Academies workshop\, Envisioning a Transformed Clinical Trials Enterprise in the United States: Establishing an Agenda for 2020. There is now a need for stakeholders from across the clinical research lifecycle to consider lessons learned from progress and setbacks over the past 10 years and broadly consider goals and key priorities for advancing a clinical trials enterprise that is more efficient\, effective\, person-centered\, inclusive\, and integrated into the health delivery system of 2030.

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.

SUMMARY:Emerging Bioethical Issues in Biomedical Research: A Workshop
DESCRIPTION:A planning committee of the National Academies of Sciences\, Engineering\, and Medicine will conduct a one day workshop on Feb 26\, 2020 to bring together stakeholders to discuss potential ethical issues that may arise from new and emerging trends in biomedical research (including behavioral and social research) and society. \nThe workshop will identify a range of current and emerging bioethical issues – both in basic and clinical research – and explore a broad-range of stakeholder perspectives. Input will be sought from a variety of perspectives which may include patients/participants/individuals\, bioethicists\, academic and industry researchers\, clinicians\, and government representatives. The workshop will describe the state of the emerging science and potential pressing\, recurring\, emerging\, and/or anticipated future bioethical issues in biomedical research and society that fall within the scope of the research and policy activities of the NIH. Potential topics may include: \n\nUse of digital technologies\, artificial intelligence\, and machine learning in biomedical research and clinical care;\nEmerging ethical challenges for sharing data from human research participants and use of human biospecimens;\nHealth equity and health disparities in research\, including:\n\nRecognizing and addressing barriers to participation in research and clinical care across diverse populations and groups\nUnderstanding the impact of cultural and social context on health and disease\nEquitable distribution of the benefits and burdens of research;\n\n\nInnovative study designs\, including crowdsourcing of research and citizen science;\nNovel approaches for enhancing bioethics infrastructure and training;\nNew means for assessing and enhancing scientific workforce diversity; and/or\nInnovative solutions for enhancing research oversight infrastructure.\n\nGiven the broad scope of bioethical issues in research and the difficulty in addressing all possible issues in a single workshop\, the following topics fall outside the scope of this workshop as they are being addressed in multiple other venues: gene editing\, gene drives\, human-animal chimera research\, human fetal tissue research\, neuroethics\, and animal care and welfare. The planning committee will develop the agenda for the workshop\, select and invite speakers and discussants\, and moderate or identify moderators for the discussions. A workshop proceedings will be prepared by a designated rapporteur based on the information gathered and discussions held during the workshop in accordance with National Academies institutional policies and procedures. \nNote: Registration for in-person attendance is full. You may register for the webcast HERE. If you are interested in signing up for the in-person waitlist\, please register HERE and we will contact you if a spot becomes available.

SUMMARY:Journalists Covering COVID-19: What Do You Need to Know
DESCRIPTION:Association of Health Care Journalists (AHCJ) members are invited to a special webcast event “Covering COVID-19: What Do You Need to Know?” on 10 March 2020. \nThe COVID-19 outbreak story is evolving quickly and there are many unknowns about the epidemic\, including how contagious the virus is\, its mortality rate and whether there is undetected spread occurring outside of China. Providing accurate information to the public is more important than ever in this moment of uncertainty. Hear a panel of infectious disease experts and a journalist explain what is known\, what to watch out for\, where to find trusted resources and how to combat misinformation and confusion. \n\nMaryn McKenna\, independent journalist\, author; Senior Fellow of the Center for the Study of Human Health at Emory University\nMichael Osterholm\, Ph.D.\, M.P.A.\, director\, Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy\nSaskia Popescu\, senior infection preventionist\, ELBI Fellow and managing editor; HonorHealth\, Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security\, Pandora Report\nAngie Rasmussen\, Ph.D.\, Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health\, Associate Research Scientist\nModerator: Bara Vaida\, AHCJ core topic leader/infectious diseases\n\nSaskia Popescu is an experienced infectious disease epidemiologist and infection preventionist with a strong background in project management\, translation of complex issues into frontline applications\, and enhancing healthcare biopreparedness. She is passionate about healthcare biopreparedness\, antimicrobial resistance\, and driving change across sectors in global health security. \nAngie Rasmussen\, Ph.D.\, is an associate research scientist at Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health. She is a virologist studying host responses to infection by combining classical virology with modern systems biology approaches. Her research objectives are to identify host response signatures predictive of infection severity or disease outcome and host pathways to target drug development or repurposing. She is particularly interested in viruses that are highly pathogenic\, newly emergent or likely to emerge because of climate change\, land development\, or ecological disruption. \nMaryn McKenna is a journalist and book author and teaches health and science writing and storytelling\, and media literacy. She has reported from epidemics and disasters\, and farms and food production sites\, on most of the world’s continents\, including a field hospital in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina\, to Midwestern farms devastated by the 2015 epidemic of avian flu. She writes for The New York Times Magazine\, The New Republic\, WIRED\, Smithsonian\, The Atlantic\, NPR\, and numerous other magazines and sites. She is the author of the 2017 bestseller Big Chicken: The Incredible Story of How Antibiotics Created Modern Agriculture and Changed the Way the World Eats (National Geographic Books\, Sept. 2017)\, which received the 2018 Science in Society Award\, making her a two-time winner of that prize. \nPlease visit the AHCJ’s Covering COVID-19: What Do You Need to Know event website for more information.
