However, it has also demonstrated notable challenges, many arising from the lack of a proactive and comprehensive strategy, with the feedback and flexibility needed for adaptive management as the disease, diagnostic tests, and public opinion evolved. This rapid expert consultation summarizes the lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic for the future development and usage of self-tests for circulating infectious diseases and future outbreaks and pandemics. It draws from expert input and published research from previous public health emergencies, as well as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. This rapid expert consultation was produced through the Standing Committee for CDC Center for Preparedness and Response (SCPR), an activity of the Health and Medicine Division of National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, sponsored by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. SCPR provides a forum for discussion of scientific, technical, and social issues relevant to public health emergency preparedness and response.” %0 Book %A National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine %T Rapid Expert Consultation on Archival Data Storage Technologies for the Intelligence Community %D 2024 %U https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/27445/rapid-expert-consultation-on-archival-data-storage-technologies-for-the-intelligence-community %> https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/27445/rapid-expert-consultation-on-archival-data-storage-technologies-for-the-intelligence-community %I The National Academies Press %C Washington, DC %G English %K Computers and Information Technology %K Conflict and Security Issues %P 27 %X Member agencies of the intelligence community (IC) collect, maintain, and store large amounts of data. There is a profusion of sensors and communications options that has led to a dramatic escalation in the amount of data readily available for a wide variety of purposes. Much more data are being created than are being deleted. But a large fraction, as much as 30 to 35 percent of enterprise data, is data that are rarely accessed (with weeks to years elapsing between uses) and may sit for a long period of time. This poses a challenge because it means that, worldwide, a massive number of exabytes of data need to be securely maintained, managed, and administered in some sort of way. Additionally, the amount of data that will need to be archived for short- and long-term use will continue to rise. In particular, the IC has the potential to be one of the largest customers for cold data storage because of its wide-ranging need for information. At the request of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), this Rapid Expert Consultation (REC) explores options for technologies for archival data storage, focusing primarily on current data storage technologies, particularly magnetic storage, Flash, MRAM, and optical storage. While not all of these technologies are well suited to archival storage applications, the ODNI indicated a desire to hear about all possible options. Brief overviews of emerging technologies are included. Finally, the REC offers comments on the importance of non-technological aspects of archiving, including policies and personnel, which should be considered in the design and acquisition of long-term data storage systems. %0 Book %A National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine %T Rapid Expert Consultation on Allocating COVID-19 Monoclonal Antibody Therapies and Other Novel Therapeutics (January 29, 2021) %D 2021 %U https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/26063/rapid-expert-consultation-on-allocating-covid-19-monoclonal-antibody-therapies-and-other-novel-therapeutics-january-29-2021 %> https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/26063/rapid-expert-consultation-on-allocating-covid-19-monoclonal-antibody-therapies-and-other-novel-therapeutics-january-29-2021 %I The National Academies Press %C Washington, DC %G English %K Health and Medicine %P 34 %X This rapid expert consultation focuses on monoclonal antibody (mAbs) therapies authorized for use in patients infected with SARS-CoV-2.

During public health emergencies, the use of MCMs, such as therapeutics, vaccines, and diagnostics, can be made available to the public under a range of regulatory access mechanisms. This Rapid Expert Consultation was produced by individual members of the Standing Committee for CDC Center for Preparedness and Response. Its aim is to review and propose modifications to an initial draft list of critical federal capabilities presented by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration that are needed to evaluate real-world safety, effectiveness, equitable distribution, access, and use of MCMs during a public health emergency.
