The University of Minnesota’s Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy has named the remaining members of the steering committee for its Vaccine Integrity Project.
The project is an initiative to examine how non-governmental entities can help protect vaccine policy, information and utilization in the U.S. The initiative was announced by CIDRAP Thursday. The committee is gathering feedback from professionals across the country through several sessions this month and continuing into early August.
In addition to co-chairs Dr. Margaret Hamburg and Dr. Harvey Fineberg, the eight-person committee includes Jeff Duchin, Asa Hutchinson, Mark Feinberg, Fred Upton and Anne Zink. Dr. Michael Osterholm, regents professor and director of CIDRAP, also is a member.
The initiative is supported by a $240,000 gift from iAlumbra, a foundation established by philanthropist Christy Walton.
