SUMMARY:ASPR Industry Roundtable on Domestic Manufacturing of Personal Protective Equipment
DESCRIPTION:The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)\, through its Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response (ASPR)\, will convene the Industry Roundtable on Domestic Manufacturing of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) on October 6–7\, 2025 in Washington\, DC. The event will bring together federal\, state\, local\, tribal\, territorial\, industry\, and healthcare partners as a key forum to strengthen national public health preparedness and response by addressing both the opportunities and challenges of ensuring a reliable and effective PPE supply chain. \nEvent Overview\nThe roundtable will focus on the current challenges\, emerging innovations\, and collaborative strategies that shape the domestic PPE manufacturing landscape. Discussions will emphasize how the healthcare sector\, suppliers\, and governments at every level can work together to build resilience and improve preparedness for future public health emergencies. \nA core component of this event is the Strategic National Stockpile (SNS) Planning Session\, which will provide: \n\nAn overview of SNS operations.\nPanel discussions on jurisdictional stockpiling practices.\nApproaches to procurement and distribution.\nInsights on collaborative exercises and ongoing SNS initiatives.\n\n Objectives\nThe roundtable aims to: \n\nFoster dialogue across sectors to address PPE availability and effectiveness.\nHighlight innovations in materials\, design\, and manufacturing that can strengthen supply chains.\nExplore strategies for ensuring PPE resilience during future crises.\nProvide public health stakeholders with practical insights into SNS programs and partnerships.\n\nWho Should Attend?\nThis event is designed for a wide range of stakeholders in health security and emergency preparedness\, including: \n\nPPE manufacturers and raw material suppliers.\nHealthcare providers and hospital system representatives.\nFederal\, state\, local\, tribal\, and territorial government officials.\nDistributors\, logistics providers\, and supply chain experts.\nAcademic and research institutions working on PPE and public health resilience.\n\nWhy It Matters\nThe COVID-19 pandemic underscored the critical importance of reliable PPE supply chains in protecting frontline workers and sustaining effective public health responses. The ASPR roundtable represents a concerted effort to ensure that lessons learned are applied to build stronger\, more resilient systems for the future. \nFor full details and registration\, visit the ASPR PPE Roundtable event website.

SUMMARY:Improving Resiliency in the U.S. Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Through Make-Buy-Invest Strategic Actions: A Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The National Academies of Sciences\, Engineering\, and Medicine (NASEM) will host a two-day hybrid public workshop titled Improving Resiliency in the U.S. Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Through Make-Buy-Invest Strategic Actions\, taking place October 22–23\, 2025\, at the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg Center in Washington\, DC. \nThis event brings together leading experts\, policymakers\, and stakeholders in public health\, biomedical innovation\, and global health security to examine how strategic “make\, buy\, and invest” approaches can bolster the stability and responsiveness of the U.S. pharmaceutical supply chain. \n\nMake: Shift pharmaceutical production to domestic manufacturers to reduce dependence on foreign supply.\nBuy: Prioritize partnerships with international manufacturers that adhere to high-quality standards.\nInvest: Realign pharmaceutical sourcing from high-risk regions to more reliable countries and regions with strong governance and existing partnerships.\n\nThe workshop will focus on: \n\nIdentifying key drugs and markets that stand to benefit most from these strategies;\nAssessing opportunities and barriers to implementation;\nOutlining essential next steps\, core needs\, and associated costs for operationalizing these strategies.\n\nThis discussion is particularly timely\, as global events—from pandemics and geopolitical conflicts to natural disasters—continue to expose vulnerabilities in the pharmaceutical supply chain. The workshop will highlight how these make-buy-invest strategies can reduce drug shortages and enhance resilience against future disruptions. \nA summary report\, Proceedings of a Workshop–in Brief\, will be developed following the event to capture key themes and insights shared during the sessions. \nThis workshop is designed for public health professionals\, policymakers\, supply chain experts\, pharmaceutical manufacturers\, and others working at the intersection of health security and critical infrastructure. \nThis workshop is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Defense and Johns Hopkins University. Their support reflects a shared commitment to strengthening the resilience of the U.S. pharmaceutical supply chain—an issue critical to national security\, public health preparedness\, and global health stability. \nTo learn more about the workshop and receive the latest updates\, including registration details\, please visit the event page on the National Academies website.

SUMMARY:Exploring Applications of AI in Genomics and Precision Health: A Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by the National Academies of Sciences\, Engineering\, and Medicine (NASEM)\, this upcoming hybrid workshop will bring together experts to explore the expanding role of artificial intelligence (AI) in genomics and precision health. Organized by NASEM’s Roundtable on Genomics and Precision Health\, this public event is designed for a broad audience of public health professionals\, clinical researchers\, data scientists\, and global health security stakeholders interested in the transformative potential of AI across the health continuum—from translational research to clinical care. \nWorkshop Objectives\nThe workshop will feature presentations and panel discussions aimed at: \n\nReviewing current AI applications in genomics and precision health\, such as variant interpretation\, data integration\, patient identification\, return of results\, and treatment selection.\nExploring near-term innovations in AI\, including its role in multi-modal diagnostics and translational genomics\, with attention to challenges like data harmonization\, workforce capacity\, security\, and equitable utility.\nEvaluating the accuracy and bias of AI technologies and their implications for genomics-related research and patient care.\nTranslating lessons learned from AI use in other disciplines into strategies for effective adoption in genomics and precision health.\n\nThis event will convene leading voices in the field through invited talks and moderated discussions. A proceedings-in-brief will be published after the event to summarize the insights and perspectives shared. \nAbout the Host and Project Series\nThe workshop is part of NASEM’s Roundtable on Genomics and Precision Health\, which serves as a collaborative platform to accelerate equitable integration of genomics innovations into clinical and public health practice. This roundtable operates under the Health and Medicine Division and fosters cross-sector dialogue to support widespread access to precision health technologies. \nRegistration and More Information\nSpace for in-person attendance is limited\, and registration is required.
