H-CORE: Center for the HHS Coordination Operations and Response Element

What is H-CORE?

H-CORE is a permanent, nimble organizing entity to ensure synchronization of medical countermeasure efforts across the federal government. Housed within the Administration for Strategic  Preparedness and Response (ASPR), H-CORE brings together government experts to partner with public health and industry stakeholders to fast-track solutions to health security threats.

H-CORE works in partnership with other entities across ASPR such as the Center for the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) and the Center for the Strategic National Stockpile (SNS) as well as other HHS and interagency partners to deliver countermeasures to the American public while solidifying an enhanced capability to respond to future public-health threats.
