Working to Mobilize a Cure for COVID-19

Ending the Crisis

The goal of FasterCures is to understand how industry and government are working to end the COVID-19 crisis. To help us in this mission, we have created Four Pillars.

  1. Tracking: We are following the development of treatments and vaccines via our COVID-19 tracker.

  2. Accelerating Promising Candidates: We are working with our partners to ensure vaccines and treatments aren’t held up due to funding issues or other roadblocks.

  3. Public Policy: We are creating recommendations for bolstering the national response from a policy standpoint while looking at the goals of future legislation.

  4. Surveillance: We are considering how technological “early warning” systems can help prevent another pandemic.
