Bipartisan Commission on Biodefense
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bipartisan Commission on Biodefense, formerly known as the Blue Ribbon Study Panel on Biodefense,[1] is an organization of former high-ranking government officials that analyzes US capabilities and capacity to defend against biological threats. According to the Commission's mission statement, the organization was formed to "provide for a comprehensive assessment of the state of U.S. biodefense efforts, and to issue recommendations that will foster change."[2]
The Commission is supported by donor organizations. Hudson Institute serves as the Commission's fiscal sponsor. Current donors include Open Philanthropy, Smith Richardson Foundation, and Bavarian Nordic.[3]
