PREEMPT
Predicting Emergence in Multidisciplinary Pandemic Tipping-points
WELCOME
The founding principle of our PREEMPT Institute is that wicked problems will take fundamentally multidisciplinary efforts to solve. Problems don’t get much more wicked than preventing, or preparing to mitigate, pandemics. We have begun at the beginning and focused on assembling teams of disciplinary leaders to tackle problems that no one discipline can solve. Already, after only a little more than a year, we’re really proud of how far we’ve come!
Please browse around our website to see a little about our pilot protocol for jump starting teams that can make deep, yet rapid, progress on these challenging, wicked problems and learn about the progress we’ve already made on a few first questions!
The PIPP Phase 1 PREEMPT (Predicting Emergence in Multidisciplinary Pandemic Tipping-points) is part of an NSF-sponsored initiative focused on fundamental research and capabilities needed to tackle grand challenges in infections disease pandemics through predication and prevention.
