On May 10, Columbia World Projects (CWP) joined Mayor Eric Adams and other partners to formally launch the Pandemic Response Institute (PRI), a partnership between New York City, Columbia University and The City University of New York Graduate School of Public Health and Health Policy (CUNY SPH). The new institute is dedicated to preparing New York City for future health emergencies and epidemics in a more effective and equitable manner and aims to position the city as a global leader serving as a model for public health response.
“This initiative is all about bringing together every sector of this unique, dynamic, and remarkable metropolis," Wafaa El-Sadr, director of the PRI, CWP and ICAP said.
