John R. La Montagne Memorial Symposium on Pandemic Influenza Research: Meeting Proceedings

Institute of Medicine,Board on Population Health and Public Health Practice,Planning Group on the John R. La Montagne Memorial Symposium on Pandemic Influenza Research,National Academy of Sciences

The Institute of Medicine (IOM) of the National Academies of Science held a symposium, in memory of Dr. John R. La Montagne on April 4-5, 2005, to discuss the current state of the art of research on pandemic influenza and to identify gaps in research. The symposium serves as a first step of discussion towards a combined and coordinated research effort among Department of Health and Human Services agencies, other governmental agencies, international partners and the private sector. The statement of task that guided the Symposium agenda included these specific questions:

What is the current state of the science on pandemic influenza research? What are the pressing unmet scientific questions and technical issues? What administrative, logistic or legal impediments exist that block progress towards the development of interventions to respond to pandemic influenza? How can collaboration among Global health Security Action Group nations be strengthened to address unmet scientific questions and technical issues related to research on pandemic influenza? What do experts believe are the most important next steps to take to advance research on pandemic influenza?

The Proceedings of the John La Montagne Memorial Symposium on Pandemic Influenza Research Gaps represents a slightly edited transcript of the plenary presentations, rapporteur presentations, plenary discussion and presentation slides. This document contains the Symposium agenda, short biographies of plenary speakers, and provides a list of individuals who attended the symposium.
