The goals of the Accelerator Network are to:

​

• Support BARDA DRIVe health security products and technologies as they navigate research, development, and regulatory pathways

• Provide services to assist R&D efforts (technical advice, access to facilities and incubator spaces, integration services)

• Identify and foster innovations in early health security product and technology development

• Cultivate the community of those making a difference in health security products, technologies and innovations

​

DRIVe and the Accelerator Network are working to populate the R&D pipeline with candidate health security products and technologies that are ready to advance to later-stage funding outside of the accelerator network for clinical development and commercialization, to revolutionize our capability and capacity for national health security preparedness and response.
