Advancing the Mission of Public Health

FDA's mission of protecting public health touches every American. As this critical agency adapts to evolving mission requirements, budget constraints, and increased needs for data sharing and technical literacy, they must continue to serve the public, communicate critical health information to a variety of audiences, and develop and retain worldclass talent. Now is the time for a bold paradigm shift to deliver critical public health services and mission-driven innovation.

As technology, medicines, therapeutics, devices, and products evolve at a rapid pace, ICF partners with FDA to create purpose-built solutions that advance health outcomes.

Public health on the front lines: A conversation about the social determinants of health

Watch the webinar

Environmental and contextual factors, or social determinants of health (SDOH), are the strongest predictor of health and well-being in children, families, and their communities—accounting for much of the variation in health outcomes and disparities we see across the country.

We brought together leading public health experts from the federal, state, and local levels to discuss the current federal landscape around SDOH—including the latest research and Administration priorities—and how to mitigate the negative effects of SDOH.
