Biotechnology innovation is helping to heal, fuel, and feed the world. These webinars represent BIO spotlighting some recent scientific developments.
This is the first meeting in a series of conferences cohosted by the Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO) and Solve M.E. that are designed to foster a private-public engagement and create an R&D roadmap for diagnostics and treatments for Long COVID and Post-infection Diseases.
Objective: Convene stakeholders to advance R&D to diagnose and treat Long COVID and post-infection diseases to:
--Increase awareness among drug developers to the unmet need and business opportunity in these indications
--Establish a knowledge base of emerging research in Long COVID and existing body of data in other post-infection diseases (such as dysautonomia, myalgic encephalomyelitis/ chronic fatigue syndrome, mast cell activation, and others).
--Highlight potential biological targets for therapeutic and preventative approaches
--Engage experts and regulators to inform design of clinical studies
--Establish a pre-competitive collaborative network
Recorded on February 21, 2023. Part 2 of 3.

In 2021, the United States government launched multiple international initiatives focused on issues at the intersection of climate, agriculture, and sustainable food systems. These initiatives are housed under the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and involve a cross section of government and non-governmental partners.
As part of the 2021 UN Food Systems Summit, the United States launched a Coalition for Sustainable Productivity Growth for Food Security and Resource Conservation (the SPG Coalition) with a goal to accelerate the transition to more sustainable food systems through productivity growth that optimizes agricultural sustainability across social, economic, and environmental dimensions.
Agriculture Innovation Mission for Climate (AIM for Climate/AIM4C) is an initiative launched at COP 26 and led by the United Arab Emirates and the United States. AIM for Climate is focused on addressing climate change and global hunger by increasing investment in, and other support for, climate-smart agriculture and food systems innovation over five years (2021–2025) and enabling greater public-private and cross-sectoral partnerships.
This webinar hosted by the Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO) provides an update on the status of the initiatives including a look ahead to COP 27 and beyond. In addition, USDA staff helping to lead this work discuss ways for private sector partners to engage in, support, and amplify the work of the SPG Coalition and AIM for Climate.
On August 16, 2022, President Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which includes a number of significant prescription drug-related provisions, including a new drug price negotiation program in Medicare, inflation rebates in Medicare Part B and Part D, and a redesign of the Medicare Part D benefit, with a new patient out-of-pocket cap of $2,000.
Leaders from the Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO) as well as experts from the Hogan Lovells Life Sciences & Health Care team provide detailed overviews with Q&A on these newly enacted provisions.
The webinar covers the new drug price negotiation program, inflation rebates in Medicare, the Medicare Part D benefit redesign, and new out-of-pocket cap, as well as other important provisions that will reduce patient cost sharing.

BIO, CSBA, and AdvaMed hosted a special briefing to discuss the success of SBIR/STTR programs, their economic impact, and the important next steps to Federal reauthorization.
The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs are highly competitive award-based programs that encourage domestic small businesses to engage in Federal Research/Research and Development with the potential for commercialization.
Federal funding for the SBIR/STTR Program will expire on September 30, 2022, and we need your support to ensure timely reauthorization! Hear from successful SBIR/STTR grantees and technical experts on these vital programs. After this webinar, you will be able to effectively advocate for Federal SBIR/STTR program reauthorization.

The US Government invests in biomedical research in many ways, including direct funding of some critical R&D areas for diagnostics, vaccines, and therapeutics that could strengthen biodefense preparedness. This BIO-hosted webinar details for the biotechnology corporate and academic community the many new and previously available sources of capital, as well as the processes for applying for funding, from the US Department of Defense.
The Department of Defense (DoD) is continuously engaging in efforts to protect the warfighter from a broad array of threats. Preparing for and responding to these threats requires key partnerships with the industry to develop vaccines, therapeutics, and diagnostics that are designed specifically to meet the unique needs of the warfighter in various situations. Many of the investments made through these partnerships also support broader applications of key biotechnologies for other unmet healthcare needs. This important webinar represents an opportunity for BIO members and the whole biotechnology community to get an update about the priorities and programs within the DoD and the ways companies can work with the Agency on their priorities.
