What the grant funds

The goals of this grant are to better understand the landscape of drug shortage products, including those vulnerable to health fraud, and identify opportunities for outsourcing facilities to meet drug shortage needs to strengthen the supply chain. Funding would also support outsourcing facilities’ research and development of products that mitigate persistent drug shortages to increase supply of critical medications and stabilize the drug supply chain to prevent health fraud.
