Each speaker has been asked to specifically identify 1–2 areas where there are gaps in knowledge in public health systems and a set of short-term research priorities to help address them. Identify research opportunities for emergency preparedness and response in public health systems that are relevant to the specific expertise resident at schools of public health. Each priority should have measurable outcomes that will likely result in near-term improvements to public health systems for preparedness over the next 3 to 5 years.
