About the Pandemic Security Project
Dickey Global Health Initiative's Pandemic Security Project (PSP) explores and analyzes the lessons surfaced during the global response to the pandemic. As we all eagerly look ahead to COVID receding in our rearview mirror, the time is now to start looking at the lessons learned from the pandemic. PSP seeks to convene Dartmouth, domestic, and international experts in economics, biosecurity, and epidemiology to study the global effects of pandemics, the origins of COVID, analyze our preparedness, and suggest ways to prevent the next epidemic.
The Covid Crisis Group (originally the Covid Commission Planning Group) was created in 2021 and assembled 34 experts, including Kendall Hoyt, to map the landscape of the crisis and hold listening sessions with nearly 300 people. Two years later, with no National Covid Commission in sight, the Covid Crisis Group published a powerful investigative report of what went wrong—and right—with America's Covid response: Lessons from the Covid War ( PublicAffairs, April 2023).
