The world faces historic public health challenges as funding cuts erode our ability to prevent, detect, and respond to serious disease threats. Critical research remains underfunded, while political rhetoric continues to undermine public confidence in science and data. A severe measles outbreak further exposes our growing vulnerability to biological threats, largely driven by declining vaccine uptake. In response to these crises, the Pandemic Center is leading efforts to effect positive change in global health and security. We are generating impactful data, advancing innovative policy, and educating the next generation of leaders to confront both predictable and unprecedented biosecurity challenges.

The Pandemic Center at Brown University School of Public Health brings together experts across sectors, disciplines, and borders to improve public health through evidence-based strategies, education, and policy. This report highlights the impact of that work and reflects our gratitude to all who have supported and collaborated with us to protect and advance public health.
