Awards issued prior to january 20, 2025, were funded under previous administrations and may not reflect the priorities and policies of the current administration.** this project advances the american rescue act pandemic preparedness and response plan to investigate and control emerging zoonotic diseases. IT seeks to enhancenew interdisciplinary work anchored in animal and veterinary medical sciences to support food and agricultural production. This research develops a new support tool, an ethical framework, anchored in one health approaches, that bring together diverse perspectives to solve pressing issues and build trustacross the health-agriculture-veterinary nexus. IT will identify, map and assess ethical, social, political, biosecurity, economic and interspecies conflicts at the heart of a novel pandemic with the aim of developing a much needed framework to support decision-making. IT has three objectives:1. Examine emerging infectious disease (zoonoses) and public health preparedness resources through the lens of interspecies social and ethical determinants of health and welfare.2. Efficiently mobilize and augment research and collaboration networks in infectious and spillover disease preparedness and response to create new understanding across health-agriculture- veterinary PROFESSIONALS3. Design ethics instructional materials in OH animal disease management (ohadm) to strengthen public health and agriculture sector zoonosis preparedness capabilities and repository.key outcomes of this research will identify and resolve factors that influence trust around animal agriculture or aquaculture, map and address interspecies blind spots, underpin motivated reasoning and strengthen risk communication. The impact of existing preparedness resources and table-top exercises will be explored with professionals from zoonotic/pandemic preparedness, and ethics guided ohadm and stakeholder table-top crisis response exercises will be developed and tested to strengthen inclusion, diversity and equity outcomes and provide flexible tools and educational support mechanisms.
