5-YEAR WORKPLAN DEVELOPMENT PROJECT
In 2020, the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine completed a scoping review citing major gaps in knowledge available to support current practice and advance the field of public health emergency preparedness. To address these needs, Congress appropriated funding to support each HHS region in the development of a 5-Year workplan to serve as a foundational guide for Center work. This CDC-funded initiative was led by Dr. Stephen Murphy and the Tulane University Center for Applied Environmental Public Health team between 2023 and 2024.
