Mission

The mission of the CIDRAP Business Source is to be an international leader in driving worldwide business preparedness for pandemic influenza and other infectious disease or public health crises. We will accomplish this by providing authoritative, comprehensive, timely, and actionable information through our Source Web site and Osterholm Briefing and Osterholm Briefing Update newsletters and by facilitating planning among the private, public, and public health sectors aimed at saving lives and preserving enterprises. (The Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy [CIDRAP], founded in September 2001, is part of the Academic Health Center at the University of Minnesota.)

Major support has been provided by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.
