Office of Public Health Preparedness and Response (OPHPR)
Director's Seminars
OPHPR Director’s Seminars support innovation in science through outreach to nontraditional scientific disciplines that may have a role in improving public health emergency preparedness and response as well as in other CDC programmatic areas.
At the seminars, world-renowned scientists present novel, demonstrated applications of science to preparedness and response programs. The seminars offer CDC scientists an opportunity to consider the potential applicability of unfamiliar scientific methods to preparedness as well as broader possibilities for leveraging this science.
