Description

Public health emergencies require planning and response activities. These activities require analytical frameworks for considering the complicated and at times non-linear risk factors and interactions within particular scenarios whether they be Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, or pandemic infectious diseases. In order to systematically consider these factors the Division of Analytic Decision Support in the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA/ADS) assists in providing and developing decision support tools and analyses. This briefing will provide an overview of BARDA/ADS mission space, its major analytical projects, and the benefits for facilitating decisions for preparedness planning and potentially response activities.
