To help BARDA be prepared for any public health emergency by identifying and derisking the world's most promising technologies and capabilities, no matter their origin, towards the development of tomorrow's medical countermeasures.
To ensure the most effective life-saving medical countermeasures are developed for, available to, and used by everyone who needs them when they need them.
DRIVe is forming unique public-private partnerships. DRIVe will leverage new authorities given to BARDA under the 21st Century Cures Act to stimulate innovation through both non-dilutive funding and dilutive funding. In addition, through our DRIVe Accelerator Network, we will have teams forward deployed throughout the USA to identify promising solutions wherever innovation is happening. Together we are building out an ecosystem of restless innovation, driven by industry and the entrepreneurial community, to address our nation's largest health security threats.
