SUMMARY:Vector Control Workshop for Hurricane-Impacted Areas: Montgomery
DESCRIPTION:Two workshops will be hosted in January 2019 to help increase the capacity of local vector control programs in areas affected by Hurricanes Harvey\, Irma\, and Marie to respond to the increased threat of vector-borne diseases following these natural disasters. \nThe Vector Surveillance and Control Workshops will provide the same hands-on training\, tailored instruction\, and practical capacity-building activities targeted to vector control programs in hurricane-affected regions. \nLocal vector control programs in Alabama\, Florida\, Georgia\, Louisiana\, Mississippi\, North Carolina\, South Carolina\, and Texas are invited to attend one of the workshops. \nJanuary 8-9 in Charleston\, SC\nJanuary 15-16 in Montgomery\, AL \nThis training is organized by the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO)\, in partnership with the American Mosquito Control Association (AMCA) and the CDC Academic Centers for Excellence in Vector-Borne Disease. \nParticipation is capped at 50 attendees per workshop\, and registration is free.

SUMMARY:DARPA Panacea Program - Accessing the Dark Proteome
DESCRIPTION:The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Biological Technologies Office is holding a Proposers Day to provide information on the structure and objectives of the Panacea program. \nThe event will be held on December 14\, 2018 from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM EST at the Executive Conference Center (ECC; 4075 Wilson Blvd.\, Suite 300\, Arlington\, VA 22203). Advance registration is required. \nPanacea aims to integrate systems pharmacology and advanced medicinal chemistry approaches to expand the human drug target space for therapeutic interventions in the areas of acute management of pain and inflammation and the improvement of physiological endurance under oxygen-limited conditions or environments. Panacea will support the development and proof-of-concept demonstration of a new integrated platform for the rapid prediction\, synthesis\, and validation of pharmacological interventions. \nNew drug development for the Panacea program will be focused towards solving two critical problems facing DoD personnel: alleviating pain/inflammation without unwanted side effects and positively mitigating metabolic stress. \nDARPA seeks to bridge the gaps between the chemical space required to identify and produce novel pharmacological interventions and the complex biological space whose functions must be quantified in order to predict and validate the benefits of those interventions for these two desired indications. \nThe success of the Panacea program will represent a paradigm shift in the new drug discovery process and provide new technology that enables more rapid\, safe and effective therapeutic drug development for military and civilian health. \nSpecifically excluded from this effort is research that primarily results in evolutionary improvements to the existing state of practice\, that requires genetic manipulation of the intended recipient\, or that relies on discovering novel pharmacodynamic space for known therapeutics to identify additional indications. \nAdditional details\, including registration instructions\, are available at https://go.usa.gov/xP6hD. Please address administrative questions to DARPA-SN-19-12@darpa.mil\, and refer to the Panacea Proposers Day (DARPA-SN-19-12) in all correspondence.

Over the course of his career\, he has held senior positions in the White House\, the U.S. Senate\, and the Department of Defense. Most recently\, he served as the Deputy Staff Director to the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. \nDr. Kadlec previously served as staff director for Senator Richard Burr’s subcommittee on bioterrorism and public health in the 109th Congress. In that capacity\, he was instrumental in drafting the Pandemic and All-Hazard Preparedness Bill. Kadlec also served at the White House from 2002 to 2005 as director for biodefense on the Homeland Security Council\, where he was responsible for conducting the biodefense end-to-end assessment\, which culminated in drafting the National Biodefense Policy for the 21st Century. He served as Special Assistant to President George W. Bush for Biodefense Policy from 2007 to 2009. \nEarlier in his career\, he served as the Special Advisor for Counterproliferation Policy at the Office of the Secretary of Defense\, where he assisted DOD efforts to counter chemical\, biological\, radiological\, and nuclear (CBRN) threats in the wake of 9/11 and contributed to the FBI investigation of the anthrax letter attacks. He began his career as a flight surgeon for the 16th Special Operations Wing and subsequently served as a surgeon for the 24th Special Tactics Squadron and as Special Assistant to J-2 for Chemical and Biological Warfare at the Joint Special Operations Command. He was named U.S. Air Force Flight Surgeon of the Year in 1986. \nDr. Kadlec holds a bachelor’s degree from the United States Air Force Academy\, a doctorate of medicine and a master’s degree in tropical medicine and hygiene from the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences\, as well as a master’s degree in national security studies from Georgetown University.

SUMMARY:FDA Public Webinar: Genome Editing in Animals
DESCRIPTION:On December 3\, 2018\, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM)\, with participation from the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER)\, will hold a public webinar about genome editing in animals. \nGenome editing is an innovative and rapidly evolving technology that offers many promising benefits to both human and animal health\, animal well-being\, and food production. This webinar is an initial step in FDA’s public communication strategy to help innovators understand FDA regulation and show support for safe and responsible innovation that benefits public health. \nThe webinar will focus primarily on the current scientific evidence\, promising uses of this technology in animals\, and the potential risks. It will also provide information about CVM’s flexible\, risk-based approach to the regulation of intentional genomic alterations to animals and address common misconceptions associated with the regulation of these products. A portion of the webinar will be dedicated to answering stakeholder-submitted questions. \nGenome editing in plants for human and/or animal food will not be covered. \nThe webinar is open to the public\, but advance registration is required to participate in the live-cast webinar. \nSee also: \n\nRegistration: CVM Public Webinar about Genome Editing in Animals\nFDA’s Regulation of Plant and Animal Biotechnology Products\nFDA Plant and Animal Biotechnology Innovation Action Plan\nCVM Update: FDA Announces Plant and Animal Biotechnology Innovation Action Plan\nStatement from FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb\, M.D.\, and Deputy Commissioner Anna Abram on the FDA’s new plan to advance plant\, animal biotechnology innovation

SUMMARY:U.S. Antibiotic Awareness Week (USAAW)
DESCRIPTION:U.S. Antibiotic Awareness Week is November 12-18\, 2018. \nEach year in the United States\, at least 2 million people become infected with bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics and at least 23\,000 people die as a direct result of these infections. Many more will die from complications by an antibiotic-resistant infection. \nJoin the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on November 12 – 18\, 2018 to observe U.S. Antibiotic Awareness Week. Federal agencies\, health departments\, professional societies\, corporations\, and advocacy groups from across the nation will participate in this effort highlight the steps everyone can take to improve antibiotic prescribing and use. \nAntibiotics save lives and are critical tools for treating a number of common and more serious infections\, like those that can lead to sepsis. However\, at least 30% of the antibiotics in U.S. outpatient settings are prescribed unnecessarily. Any time antibiotics are used\, they can cause side effects and lead to antibiotic resistance\, one of the most urgent threats to the public’s health. \nImproving the way healthcare professionals prescribe antibiotics\, and the way we take antibiotics\, helps keep us healthy now\, helps fight antibiotic resistance\, and ensures that these lifesaving drugs will be available for future generations.
