Well, it ought to be interesting to see how this all plays out as the last time I poked through the FY2009 request (as it pertains to public health preparedness funding), the academic-based CPHPs are on the chopping block. You can't do research to meet the PAHPA mandate if you don't fund the research centers!!
The Institute of Medicine (IOM) recently convened a committee to articulate gaps in knowledge and make recommendations regarding research priorities for improving emergency preparedness and response systems in public health. This study was done, at the request of CDC’s Coordinating Officer for Terrorism Preparedness and Emergency Response (COTPER), to assist the Department of Health and Human Services in meeting the “Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness Act” (PAHPA) mandate that Centers for Public Health Preparedness (CPHP) conduct research.
The report, Research Priorities in Emergency Preparedness and Response for Public Health Systems, is now available to view or download on the IOM website.
