BARDA is supporting development of Bundibugyo ebolavirus vaccine candidates through the Rapid Response Partnership Vehicle (RRPV) Consortium. We're interested in candidates that leverage the vesicular stomatitis virus platform, which has proven to require just one dose to provide protection for other filoviruses. rrpv.org/solicitation/bundib…

Building domestic manufacturing capacity, BARDA and Schott inaugurated a new production line for production of pharmaceutical glass vials at their facility in Lebanon, PA. Thanks to a longstanding partnership between @BARDA and Schott Pharma, the new production lines, once complete, will be used to make up to 140 million additional 2R vials annually and will support rapid scale production and delivery of medical countermeasures during emergencies.

Strengthening SLTT preparedness and resilience, last week ASPR brought together 300 partners across federal agencies, SLTT officials, and private sector healthcare partners to focus one goal: surging effectively across systems during disasters. Discussions like the ASPR Healthcare Readiness Summit last week ensure that partners come together, identify best practices, and work to implement strategies and solutions that can mitigate gaps during future disasters and ultimately strengthen coordination before disaster strikes. Thank you to all our partners who shared your perspectives.

When disasters overwhelm hospitals, NDMS helps bring trained teams, move patients, and connect communities to definitive care. Strengthening NDMS bolsters state and local resilience — and PAHPA reauthorization is vital to sustaining this capability. Read the ASPR Blog: aspr.hhs.gov/ASPRBlog/Pages/…
This image is a collage of four photos related to medical response, accompanying a text promoting the ASPR's latest blog. Clockwise, the first photo shows NDMS responders walking, the second photo is an aerial shot of a medical setup, the third photo features a medical professional caring for a patient, the fourth photo depicts a responder adjusting an IV drip.
