The CSIS Bipartisan Alliance for Global Health Security has evaluated the policy changes unfolding in the past several months as a new era in national, 

economic, and health security begins. This call to action is an appeal to the administration and Congress to protect and strengthen investments in health security programs, which make Americans safer, stronger, and more prosperous. 

The first order of business is to restore confidence and trust in health security policies and their execution. To that end, the alliance calls on the administration and Congress to (1) stabilize and modernize core health security capabilities; 

(2) secure and sustain U.S. leadership in science and biomedical research; 

and (3) accelerate innovations in financing that enable efficient, effective, and accountable health security investments. Together, 

these actions will ensure Americans remain protected, U.S. innovation remains competitive, and U.S. government programming is more efficient and sustainable going forward, assured of strong support among Americans.

Rebuilding Bipartisan Consensus

The CSIS Bipartisan Alliance for Global Health Security was launched in early 2023 to advance concrete, pragmatic policy to strengthen the health security of the United States and the world.

1 It recognizes that health security is an essential component of national and economic security and builds on a 60-year CSIS legacy of strong bipartisan analysis to inform policymakers in addressing U.S. national interests.
