SPECIAL REPORT

Leveraging The Nation’s Anti-Bioterrorism Investments: Foundation Efforts To Ensure A Revitalized Public Health System

Shelley A. Hearne and Laura M. Segal

The emerging potential threats of bioterrorism combined with critical existing epidemics facing the United States call for immediate and urgent attention to the U.S. public health system. The foundation world is helping to answer that call and is sounding the alarm that our health defenses must be able to do "double duty" to protect us from the full spectrum of modern health threats. This Special Report presents a selective sample of recent and ongoing grant activities designed to revitalize and modernize the public health infrastructure, which is vital to protecting the nation’s health and ensuring its safety.
