Columbia World Projects is proud to announce that it will partner on a new Pandemic Response Institute (PRI) for New York City to be led by Columbia Mailman School of Public Health.
 
Through a groundbreaking new award from New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC), Columbia University in partnership with CUNY School of Public Health and Health Policy and in collaboration with a broad group of academic, community, government, and corporate partners will launch and operate New York City’s first Pandemic Response Institute (PRI). This award builds on Columbia’s robust involvement in the NYC COVID-19 response and grants it a significant role in preparing New York City for future public health emergencies.
 
“The Pandemic Response Institute will create an unprecedented nexus for engagement, expertise, and resources from across our city and beyond that will enable us to equitably prepare, predict, prevent, detect, respond to, and recover from major health emergencies,” said Wafaa El-Sadr, University Professor of Epidemiology and Medicine at Columbia’s Mailman School of Public Health, and director of Columbia World Projects and ICAP, who is leading the PRI.
