In this Friday’s COVID-19 Grand Rounds, Dr. Stacey Adam of the Foundation for the NIH will present “Overview of Accelerating COVID-19 Therapeutic Interventions and Vaccines (ACTIV) Public-Private Partnership and Lessons Learned.”

The NIH announced the ACTIV public-private partnership in April 2020 to develop a coordinated research strategy for speeding development of COVID-19 treatments and vaccines. The partnership is coordinated by the Foundation for the NIH and brings together the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the US Food and Drug Administration, the Department of Defense, the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Countermeasures Acceleration Group, the European Medicines Agency, and representatives from academia, philanthropic organizations, and biopharmaceutical companies.

The Grand Rounds session will be held on Friday, July 15, at 1:00 pm eastern. Join the online meeting.

The NIH Pragmatic Trials Collaboratory Coordinating Center is using its popular Grand Rounds platform to share late-breaking research and promote resources in support of clinical researchers affected by the COVID-19 public health emergency.
