SUMMARY:Envisioning a Transformed Clinical Trials Enterprise for 2030 - Session 2
DESCRIPTION:The National Academies’ Forum on Drug Discovery\, Development\, and Translation will host a virtual public workshop on Feb 9\, 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 consider achievable goals to enhance person-centeredness and inclusivity in the clinical trials enterprise; and discuss ways to improve public engagement and partnership. \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. \nA planning committee of the National Academies of Sciences\, Engineering\, and Medicine will plan and conduct a virtual public workshop designed to consider a transformed clinical trial enterprise for 2030\, featuring invited presentations and discussions on: \n\nLessons learned from progress and setbacks over the past 10 years.\n\n\nHow an envisioned 2030 clinical trials enterprise might differ from the current system.\n\n\nKey priority challenges and opportunities when it comes to the 2030 clinical trials enterprise.\n\n\nThe following core themes in framing a 2030 agenda:\n\n\nDiversity and inclusion of clinical trial participants\nConvergence of clinical research and clinical practice\nClinical trial data sharing\nIncorporation of new technologies into drug research and development\nWorkforce and career development\nPublic engagement and partnership\nRegulatory Environment\nCultural and Financial Incentives\n\n\nPractical short- and long-term goals for improving the efficiency\, effectiveness\, person-centeredness\, inclusivity\, and integration with healthcare of the clinical trials enterprise.\n\nFor additional information on the workshop series\, please visit the project page.

SUMMARY:Systematizing the One Health Approach in Preparedness and Response Efforts for Infectious Disease Outbreaks
DESCRIPTION:A virtual meeting hosted by the National Academies on February 23-25\, 2021 will examine ways to systemize and integrate the One Health approach as part of outbreak prevention\, detection\, preparedness\, and response efforts. \nThe workshop will explore research opportunities\, multi-sectoral collaboration mechanisms\, community engagement strategies\, educational opportunities\, and policies that can effectively implement the core capacities and interventions of One Health principles to strengthen national health systems and enhance global health security. \nSession 1 will take place Tuesday\, 23 February 2021 from 10:00am – 1:00pm EST. The first day will focus on the past – what One Health has accomplished thusfar\, and taking a look at the current state of affairs around the world. The “response” facet of outbreak preparedness will be highlighted. \nSession 2 will take place Wednesday\, 24 February 2021 from 10:00 – 1:00pm EST. The second day will focus on the present – what critical changes need to be made right now to incorporate One Health into national and global health systems? The “surveillance and detection” facet of outbreak preparedness will be highlighted. \nSession 3 will take place Thursday\, 25 February 2021 from 10:00am – 1:00pm EST. The third and final day will focus on the future – what capacities do we need to build down the line to ensure global health security? What lessons have we learned that can help pinpoint priority actions for incorporating One Health into national healthcare systems? The “forecasting and predicting” facet of outbreak preparedness will be highlighted. The third day will also include breakout room discussions recapping topical throughlines from throughout the 3-day workshop. \nSpecifically\, the workshop will feature invited presentations and discussions on the following: \n\nStrategies to systematize One Health in national prevention\, detection\, preparedness\, and response efforts;\nA review of One Health programs integrated into national and global public health efforts to learn what programs are current in effect:\nIntegration of animal and human health surveillance systems for cross-reporting to better understand pathogens in animals before (or after) spill-over to humans;\nFeasibility of introducing and integrating One Health into existing coordination mechanisms\, and into national action plans based on the Joint External Evaluation;\nStrengthening the global health workforce with One Health capacities;\nPolicies that underscore the interconnectedness of animal\, human\, and environmental health;\nImplications of using a One Health approach to improve preparedness vs. a reactionary response that is required to create medical countermeasures after outbreak onset;\nPromising practices for engaging with communities and influencing behaviors that lower the risk of infectious disease infection through the One Health approach;\nThe tension between public health needs\, the private sector and data sharing within the One Health context in preparedness and response efforts; and\nPotential priority actions to unite organizations – public and private\, domestic and international – in efforts to overcome newly discovered hurdles based on lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic.\n\nLearn more: https://bit.ly/nasem-one-health

SUMMARY:Defend The Flock: How Avian Influenza Affects Us All
DESCRIPTION:The United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) invites you to join poultry health experts for a webinar on Thursday\, February 25. As part of Bird Health Awareness Week\, several poultry experts from across the country will host a discussion about what avian influenza is\, how it impacts different segments of the poultry industry and the surrounding communities\, and how to prevent the disease from affecting our Nation’s flocks. \nFrom December 2014 through June 2015\, the U.S endured its largest animal health emergency to date\, with more than 200 commercial and backyard premises affected with highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) across the country\, and leading to the death of over 50 million birds. Recently\, cases of HPAI were confirmed in Europe\, Asia and Africa\, and many poultry owners and producers are concerned and want to take steps to protect their flocks. \nThe “Defend The Flock: How Avian Influenza Affects Us All” webinar will take place on Thursday\, February 25 from 2:30-3:30 PM EST.
