Bipartisan Commission on Biodefense

The Bipartisan Commission on Biodefense at the Atlantic Council, formerly known as the Blue Ribbon Study Panel on Biodefense, is an organization of former high-ranking government officials that analyzes US capabilities and capacity to defend against biological threats. According to the commission's mission statement, the organization was formed to "provide for a comprehensive assessment of the state of U.S. biodefense efforts, and to issue recommendations that will foster change."

The commission is supported by donor organizations. New Venture Fund serves as the commission's fiscal sponsor. Current donors include Open Philanthropy and Bavarian Nordic.
