Call for Proposals from The Belldegrun Center for Integrated Health

Identify a challenge related to the distribution of a COVID-19 vaccine and propose a solution.

As hundreds of thousands of new COVID-19 infections are reported daily in the United States, a safe and effective vaccine seems like the greatest promise of ending this pandemic.  Yet, the approval of a vaccine represents only the first step to another national challenge: successfully distributing an effective vaccine to the American public. Submit a proposal and if selected, winning entries will receive coaching from the BCIL and have the opportunity to pitch their ideas to former Secretary of Veterans Affairs, Bob McDonald, who served under President Obama. Secretary McDonald was recently appointed by President-elect Joe Biden to serve on his transition team advisory board after an impressive career as a civil servant, a corporate leader as Chairman of the Board, President, and CEO of Procter & Gamble, and a proud army Veteran.
