Author: Federal News Network | Hubbard Radio October 18, 2022 Duration: 23:59
The COVID pandemic caught the U.S. and the world off guard in 2020. Nearly three years later are we prepared for the next biological threat? Do we have strategies for developing treatments and vaccines and the supply chains to deploy them? Hear from Dr. Julie Gerberding of the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health; Dr. Matthew Hepburn, who leads pandemic preparedness for the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy; and Dr. Monique K. Mansoura of MITRE. Mansoura co-led a team that developed MITRE’s 10-point action plan on sustaining a biopharma industrial base to enhance our health, economic and national security. Hepburn leads a White House team that recently published a progress report on the nation’s pandemic preparedness.

What does it take for citizens to genuinely believe in their public institutions? That's the central question explored in Building Trust in Government, a podcast from the Federal News Network and Hubbard Radio. Rather than abstract theory, these conversations focus on tangible, actionable ideas. Each episode brings together experts from MITRE’s Center for Data-Driven Policy alongside leaders from across the federal landscape, industry, and academia. They dissect real challenges facing federal programs, from service delivery to policy implementation, aiming to find practical, data-informed solutions that can make a measurable difference. You'll hear candid discussions about what's working, what isn't, and how evidence and collaboration can pave a better path forward. This isn't about political talking points; it's a grounded look at the mechanics of effective governance. For anyone curious about the inner workings of policy or involved in public service, this podcast offers a rare forum where complex ideas are broken down into understandable and impactful strategies. The goal is always the same: to move beyond skepticism and toward a more effective and credible relationship between the government and the people it serves.
