NYC Preparedness & Recovery Institute
The New York City Pandemic Response Institute (PRI) is a landmark initiative designed to help prepare NYC for future public health threats – from infectious diseases to climate-related health emergencies – by advancing racial equity and elevating NYC as a model of public health preparedness across the globe. NYC Economic Development Corporation, NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, and NYC Department of Emergency Management selected Columbia University to launch and operate the Pandemic Response Institute (PRI), with its key partner, the CUNY Graduate School of Public Health and Health Policy (CUNY SPH), and several community, research, and industry partners. PRI is led by ICAP, a global health center at the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health, and PRI’s key partner CUNY SPH.
