Public description
About the program
The CDC Foundation, the independent nonprofit created by Congress to mobilize private support for CDC, created a dedicated Innovation and Strategy department to develop new public-private public health programs. It has convened innovation-focused events such as the CDC Health Data Innovation Summit and manages a large portfolio of programs connecting companies, philanthropies and CDC. Its work is program- and partnership-based rather than a fixed startup accelerator.
