Columbia U. Tapped to Operate NYC’s Pandemic Response Institute
Columbia University has been selected to launch and operate the city’s Pandemic Response Institute (PRI), with its key partner, the CUNY Graduate School of Public Health and Health Policy, and several community, research, and industry partners.
The PRI will be supported by up to $20 million in city capital funding for eligible costs. It will be dedicated to preparing New York City for future health emergencies and epidemics in a more effective and equitable manner, while positioning the city as a global leader to serve as a model for public health response.
“Born out of New York’s quick action during the early days of the pandemic, this institute will put our hardest-learned lessons to work so that when the next public health crisis emerges, New York City will not only be prepared, we will be ready to lead these global fights,” said Mayor Bill de Blasio.
